Answer:

The correct answer is "Hydrolysis and absorption".

Explanation:

Increasing the surface area directly facilitates the digestive processes of hydrolysis and absorption. Hydrolysis is the process at which complex molecules are reduced into its subunits by the use of water and digestive enzymes. Absorption is the digestive process that allows nutrients intake into the blood vessels. Both processes are benefited from an increased surface area, allowing the needed space for digestive enzymes to perform hydrolysis and allowing that nutrients are absorbed with a higher rate.

The answers would be the following:

Geosphere and hydrosphere - water vapor condenses on a glass.

Hydrosphere and biosphere - Grady swims in the ocean.

Biosphere and atmosphere - Lena takes a deep breath

Atmosphere and geosphere - gusty winds weather sandstone in the desert.

If you'd like to know why:

Geosphere involves the solid part of the Earth, so that would mean it involves the rocks, land, and the like.

Hydrosphere involves water, your clue there would be hydro, which means water.

Atmosphere involves the air around us, which includes winds.

Biosphere refers to the biotic components. Bio means life, so we consider living things here.

Now all those spheres interact with each other, and it is through this interactions that our world is formed and how our Earth is able to sustain life.

Taking into consideration the features of each sphere, you can see that Grady is a living organism and the ocean is made up of water.

Hence, hydrosphere and biosphere are interacting.

Lena is a living organism, and she is breathing in air.

Hence, biosphere and atmosphere are interacting.

Water vapor is made up of water, and glass is a solid found on Earth. (Not really a good example of interaction between these two spheres)

Hence, hydrosphere and geosphere are interacting. 

Lastly, gusty winds is part of the atmosphere and sandstone is a type of rock.

Hence, Geosphere and atmosphere are interacting.
