LekaFEV [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Foods are ingested by the mouth where they are chewed by the teeth and savored by the taste buds present in the tongue. In the mouth, saliva breaks down food into substances that are easier to digest. Subsequently, the pharynx allows food to be swallowed and it pushes the food into the esophagus, the contractions of the esophageal muscle allow the movement of the food through the esophagus and to the stomach where the food is mixed with the  juices and are mostly digested. In the stomach nutrients are absorbed. There are particles that are not absorb and they pass to the intestine where other nutrients are transported to the blood, then pass to the large interstinum where there is water absorption and stool formation that are expelled through the rectum.

Explain how the environment play a role in changing the frequency of a mutant allele in a poplution
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The environment plays a role in a mutant allele in a population because some mutations are more beneficial to the organism than other mutations.

Explanation:

Organisms with a beneficial allele mutation will be able to pass on their genes as they reproduce. The mutation makes them <em>fit</em> for survival in their environment. Other organisms <em>without </em>the beneficial allele won't be able to pass on their genes since it will be more difficult for them to survive in their environment. Natural selection will deem that the organisms with the mutation will survive better and be able to produce offspring with the same mutation.

Y_Kistochka [10]

During human gestation, rudiments of all organs develop in the first trimester.

<h3>What is the first trimester?</h3>
  • Most people (including your doctors and midwives) divide a full-term pregnancy, which lasts about 9 months, into three 'trimesters'.
  • The first trimester of pregnancy is measured from the first day of your last period to week 12, even though you are pregnant from the moment of conception, when a male sperm fertilizes your ovum (egg), when you become pregnant.
  • This is so that the majority of women who conceive naturally won't be aware of the conception date.
  • Because the changes that occur to you and your unborn child fall into the three general categories of early, middle, and late pregnancy first, second, and third trimesters are a useful way to think about pregnancy.

How would you expect the number of mitochondria in a cell to be related to the amount of active transport it carries out?
OverLord2011 [107]
The greater the amount of active transport carried out by a cell, the greater the amount of mitochondria would be found in the cell.

Active transport uses energy. Mitochondria undergoes aerobic respiration to release large amounts of energy. If the cell is found to be lacking in energy needed for active transport, the cell would adapt by synthesizing more mitochondrion to ensure that it's demand of energy is met.

Shana is a competitive athlete who weighs 135 lb. she would like to plan a nutritionally adequate diet that provides enough carb
prisoha [69]
The correct answer is d.

Carbohydrates are a very important part of an athlete's diet, since they provide the necessary energy for competition and endurance, but also help in the process of muscle gain.

The amount of carbohydrates that Shana should consume depend heavily on the intensity of her exercise activities. For a moderate level of exercise, which equals to 1 hour of exercise daily, a person should consume 5-7 g/kg of body weight. For a high level of exercise (1-3 hours of daily exercise), a person should consume 6-10 g/kg.

Guessing that Shana will perform a high level of exercise and based on her weight (135 lb or 61.2 kg), Shana should consume 366 to 610 g of carbohydrates daily.
