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.

sdas [7]
For the answer to the question above, p<span>unctuated equilibrium (also called punctuated equilibria) is a theory in evolutionary biology which proposes that most species will exhibit little net evolutionary change for most of their geological history, remaining in an extended state called stasis. When significant evolutionary change occurs, the theory proposes that it is generally restricted to rare and rapid (on a geologic time scale) events of branching speciation called cladogenesis. Cladogenesis is the process by which a species splits into two distinct species, rather than one species gradually transforming into another.</span>

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C/ One reason that a product does not always form is due to unfavorable geometry of the reactants involved. When the geometry is not good for substances to react then no reaction can occur although there is enough energy present.
