Answer:

<u>The mouth</u> is the organ involved in ingestion in the digestive system.

Explanation:

Intake of food into the mouth and break down into small pieces there, is the process of the ingestion. In the ingestion process food is taken into the mouth and crushed and broken down into smaller pieces with the help of teeth. The presence of food triggers nervous reflexes to cause the salivary glands to release a fluid saliva. Saliva also softens and provides moisture to the food in the mouth to make it easier to swallow down to esophagus. It helps in digestion of starches to begin, present in food.

Digestion starts in the "mouth" and continues in the stomach. The small intestine completes the digestion process.

3 lumps equals 1 clump and 10 clumps equals 1 pile, how many piles are 96 lumps

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

3.2 piles

Explanation:

step 1

Find out the number of lumps in 10 clumps

we know that

3 lumps equals 1 clump

by proportion

Let

x ----> the number of lumps

$\frac{3}{1} \frac{lumps}{clump}=\frac{x}{10} \frac{lumps}{clumps}\\\\x=10(3)\\\\x=30\ lumps$

step 2

Find out how many piles are 96 lumps

we know that

10 clumps equals 1 pile

10 clumps equals 30 lumps

1 pile equals 30 lumps

using proportion

Let

x -----> the number of piles

$\frac{1}{30}\frac{pile}{lumps}=\frac{x}{96}\frac{piles}{lumps} \\\\x=96/30\\\\x=3.2\ piles$

How does the above reaction relate to what happens to matter and energy as a tree burns?

vampirchik [111]

Burning is a chemical process by which two atoms or molecules will combine with each other. In burning, the two atoms or molecules will combine and release energy. ... When the molecules combine and release energy, it is released in the form of heat and often light.

In the case of burning wood, stored potential energy (in the form of chemical energy) in the log is released due to heating by other excited atoms. This chemical reaction is called combustion and requires oxygen. Combustion changes the potential chemical energy into kinetic energy in the form of heat.

Energy is used to break bonds in reactants, and energy is released when new bonds form in products. ... The law of conservation of energy states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Whether a chemical reaction absorbs or releases energy, there is no overall change in the amount of energy during the reaction.
