<span>The function of the digestive system is to digest and absorb the food that we eat . Which means that we have two main processes , digestion and absorption. Digestion is the breakdown of food into small molecules,which are then absorbed in your body (during the process of absorption). </span>

The mouth grinds food and its salivary glands make an enzyme thats helps water break starch into glucose,goes down esophagus, stomach grinds, stomach acid activates an enzyme that breaks protein into amino acids, food moves into the small intestine, the pancreas makes the enzymes, liver makes bile, gull bladder stores bile, the common bile duct delivers enzymes and bile to the small intestine, in the small intestine the fat is separated by bile so that the enzyme can help water break fat into 3 fatty acids & glyceral, the enzymes help water break protein into amino acids, enzymes help water break starches into glucose, the building blocks are then absorbed into the walls of the small intestine, the undigested foods (cellulose) goes into the large intestine, the large intestine removes the water , and then the undigested stuff goes into the toilet lol

List three possible interactions between a bee and its environment
san4es73 [151]

Explanation:   1. It’s not just farm-grown fruits and vegetables that rely on pollinators to thrive. Many species of wild plants depend on insect pollinators as well. Bees are responsible for the production of many seeds, nuts, berries, and fruit, which serve as a vital food source for wild animals.

                         2. During the first two weeks of life, worker bees are engaged in brood duties inside the hive: cleaning, fanning the air, building the honeycomb structure, feeding the young, and carrying out the dead bees. During the remaining five to seven weeks of their lives, workers become foragers. Some will focus on gathering pollen, which will be mixed with secreted wax for building the comb. Others will focus on gathering nectar, which will become honey after it is regurgitated at the hive.

                              3. Pollination is fundamental to sexual production in plants, and in bee-pollinated plants, it has resulted in plant-animal co-evolution. Nectar and copious pollen production are the cost to the plant for its services of the inadvertent pollinator. Most bees are pollinators and they are attracted to flowers for food.

A camel has eyelashes that work to keep the dust and sand out of its eyes. Which characteristic of like does this represent??
balu736 [363]

Answer:

All living things adapt to their environment

Explanation:

Camels can easily adapt that helps them live in desert conditions. As the wind is the common way to spread the send all over the desert, the camels need to be capable of keeping it from their eyes.

One of the ways they do it is their long lashes. The lashes help them keep the sand away and have a proper sight.

Also, their thick eyebrows protect them from the hot desert sun.

16. Why should the recessive phenotype be used first to determine the q squared value instead of the dominant phenotype to deter
podryga [215]

The recessive phenotype is used first to determine the q squared value because it is only expressed when h0m0zygous.

<h3>What is a recessive phenotype?</h3>

A recessive phenotype is a phenotype which expresses the recessive trait of a gene.

The recessive phenotype is always h0m0zygous for that triat to be expressed.

In the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation, the allele and phenotype frequencies are given as follows:

  • p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

where;

  • p^2 is the h0m0zygous dominant phenotype frequency
  • 2pq is the heterozygous phenotype frequency
  • q^2 is the h0m0zygous recessive phenotype frequency

Therefore, the recessive phenotype is used first to determine the q squared value because it is only expressed when h0m0zygous.
