Answer:

b. Jejunum

Explanation:

The small intestine is divided into three regions: duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The jejunum is the middle region of the small intestine and is rich in folds and villi to facilitate the absorption of most of the digested carbohydrates and proteins. The small finger-like projection, the villi, increase the surface area for the absorption of digested nutrients.  

Circular folds are the folds of mucosa and submucosa of intestinal lining while villi are the projections of the mucosa into the cavity of the small intestine. Circular folds, villi, and microvilli facilitate the absorption of most of the nutrients in the jejunum.

Which of the following values represents an index of refraction of an actual material?A. 0B. .25C. .5D. 1.25
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

1.25

Explanation:

Index of refraction also known as refractive index determines the speed of the light in the particular material. The light can bend towards the normal or away from the normal in the particular media.

Different objects have different index of refraction. The amount of the light refracted by the media can be calculated by the help of the refractive index. The refractive index of an actual material is 1.25. The refractive index of the media depends on the density of the substance.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

<em>The correct answer would be meat in both </em><em>jars would have maggots.</em>

If maggots were spontaneously being produced by meat, both of the meat in a sealed and opened jar would have maggots in them. A spontaneous process would happen without any external force. Hence, whether the jar is sealed or otherwise, the spontaneous appearance of maggots in a jar with meat would still happen.

The correct option is C.
