The answer is Have a large surface area on which chemical enzymes in the digestive system can act on it<span>. This increases the rate of digestion and absorption of the nutrients. The smaller an object is, the larger the surface area to volume ration it has compared to relatively larger objects.</span>

<span>Mechanical digestion, the process of breaking down large chunks of food into smaller pieces, is important pieces of food are more readily digested through chemical digestion.
The mechanical digestion begins with chewing. The action of chewing mechanically breaks down very large aggregates of food molecules into smaller particles. This results in the food having increased surface area, as important contributing factor to good digestion.</span>

Abiogenesis refers to how living organisms arose from inanimate matter. Place the sentences in order according to how life on Ea
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

(A) -> (D) -> (C) -> (B)

Explanation:

First off, given that the problem requires us to explain how life on Earth may have arisen <u>from terrestrial origins</u>, we can discard sentence (E), as impacts from meteorites would count as extraterrestrial origins.

Then it's just a matter of describing the steps by which simple compounds turned into more and more complex structures, that would in turn lead to the origin of life.

Simple inorganic compounds (such as CO₂, or NH₃) were exposed to energy, because of that they formed simple organic molecules, like carbohydrates or amino acids.

These organic molecules, in turn, would self-assemble into more complex structures, such as proteins.

Lastly, there's the phenomenon of Compartmentalization, where large organic structures became enclosed within a membrane-like structure, separating them from the 'outside' medium and thus creating primitive cells.

The testcross makes it possible to determine the genotype of an individual of unknown genotype who exhibits the dominant version
klio [65]

Answer:

All of the above answer choices are correct.

Explanation:

Test cross is done to find out the genotype of an individual displaying dominant phenotype as it can be homozygous or heterozygous. To find this the individual is crossed with a recessive phenotype individual. For example: a dominant trait tall height can be homozygous TT or heterozygous Tt. If it is TT all the offspring of test cross with tt will be tall. If it is Tt half of the offspring will be tall and half of the offspring will be short.

Multiple offspring are required to come to the final result because offspring production happens in random order and it might take a few tries before another type of phenotype is produced. For example: If a test cross produces an individual with dominant phenotype we can still not surely say if the test individual is homozygous or heterozygous because both can produce dominant phenotype in test cross. We need more offspring to check if the recessive phenotype is produced or not and accordingly decide the genotype of test individual.

Hence all of the above answer choices are correct.

The best way to reduce wind erosion on a farm is to
kiruha [24]

The best way to reduce wind erosion on farm is to plant ground cover in unused fields.

Explanation:

  • Wind erosion is defined as the removal of the top soil from unused barren land by winds.
  • This results in degradation in the soil fertility and renders it unproductive.
  • Roots of plants bind soil particles.
  • Planting ground covers like herbs , shrubs and wild plants on unused land will prevent the exposure of the top soil to the eroding agents and reduce erosion.
