What mechanical and chemical digestion occurs in the stomach

Biology
1 answer:
Aleonysh [2.5K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

<h2>There are two kinds of digestion; </h2><h2>i) Mechanical and ii) chemical digestion. </h2>

Explanation:

There are two kinds of digestion;

i) Mechanical and ii) chemical digestion.  

Mechanical digestion involves physically breaking down  the food into smaller pieces. It begins in the mouth as the food is chewed.

In the Stomach

The stomach is a muscular sac with three important functions:

i) It mixes and stores food until it can be further digested.

ii) It secretes chemicals that help break the food into more digestible forms.

iii) It controls the passage of food into the small intestine.

Chemical digestion involves breaking down the food particles into simpler nutrients that can be used by the cells.  

In stomach, chemical digestion of mostly  proteins occurs  Secretions from the stomach lining consist of about two liters of HCl, pepsin, and other  many fluids that make up gastric fluids. The fluid is acidic and it helps kill bacteria and  many other pathogens. It also produced by the stomach lining usually keeps the acids from damaging the lining. If no mucus or  too much acid is produced, peptic ulcers form.

Modified organisms may contaminate the natural, wild populations.
prisoha [69]

The genetic technique in the above statement describes an ethical issue of: C. transgenic organisms.

<h3>What is a transgenic organism?</h3>

A transgenic organism can be defined as a type of organism which has been modified with genetic materials obtained from other species of organisms.

Generally, transgenic organisms are typically used in the following areas:

  • Agriculture growth.
  • Biotechnology.

In conclusion, we can infer and logically deduce that the modification of organisms through the use of transgenic organisms may contaminate the natural, wild populations.

In guinea pigs, black fur (b) is dominant over white fur (w). You have a black guinea pig, and want to try to determine its geno
kompoz [17]

The genotype of the guinea pig that you would want to mate it with the black one is ww, which is also a white guinea pig, as all white guinea pigs must have the genotype ww as w is recessive to b. Also, make sure you know that the black guinea pig should have the genotype of bx, where x is either b or w.

So, if you mate the black guinea pig with the ww guinea pig (white), the offsprings will either be all black, or half black half white.

If the offsprings are all black, you can be sure that the black guinea pig (parent) will have the bb genotype. As each offspring must receive one gene from each parent, so if all the offsprings have black fur, they must have one b gene from the black guinea pig.

On the other hand, if the offsprings are half black half white, the genotype of the black guinea pig (parent) should be bw. This is because in order to have white offsprings, each parent must pass on a w gene so that the offspring would have genotype ww, white.
