Answer:

C. facilitates the absorption of vitamin B12.

Explanation:

The Intrinsic factor is a substance that is produced by the stomach and it has the important function of producing vitamin B12 which is necessary for life. Vitamin B12 is used in the production of mature red blood cells. It also improves the function of the nervous system. The production of this intrinsic factor is a very vital role of the stomach because, in the absence of a stomach, for example, in the case of a gastrectomy, a person can only survive if he is given injections of Vitamin B12.

The stomach also serves as a holding center for food and eventually delivers the food to the small intestine and the duodenum.

How does a frog get rid of urea/urine? Question 4 options: gills lungs heart kidneys
Mrrafil [7]
A frog gets rid of it's urine through the kidneys because the heart pumps blood throughout the body, the lungs are used to take in O2 molecules and gills are use to filter out the hydrogen in HO2 so they can breathe under water. However the kidneys are part of the waste disposal system (what makes us need trip to the bathroom ever now and then) therefore that is the answer.<span />
