Answer:

The correct answer is villi.

Explanation:

The carbohydrates consumed by human beings are further dissociated into its mono forms, that is, fructose, glucose, and galactose. Of these monosaccharides, about 80% is glucose, which gets absorbed with the assistance of absorptive cells in the small intestine. In the walls of the small intestine, the food after digestion is passed into the blood vessels via the process of diffusion.  

The mucosa or the inner wall of the small intestine is enveloped by finger-like tissues known as villi that further comprise microscopic finger-like outcrops called microvilli. These villi and microvilli enhances absorption of nutrients as they increase the surface area of the small intestine. Thus, the absorption of glucose within the small intestine is enhanced by the presence of villi.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Speciation was allopatric or peripatric, but would depend on the number of individuals that dispersed from the original populations.

Explanation:

The new species can be formed in one of the three ways that are allopatric, peripatric, and parapatric speciation.

The allopatric speciation gives rise to new species due to the geographical barriers present between them and the peripatric speciation occurs when a small population enters into a new habitat.

In the given question, species A is more closely related to species B as to species C. This could be due to the allopatric speciation or peripatric speciation but it would depend on the number of the individuals of the population that dispersed to a different elevation which provided a new niche.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

Which complication is a primipara with a second-degree laceration and repair most likely to experience during the postpartum per
MissTica
<span>A primipara is a woman who is giving birth for the first time - that is, she is a first time mother and is not going to give birth v aginally after cesarean (known as a VBAC). The lacerations that could be experienced during birth are natural and typically occur to the area between the v agina itself and the a nus. These lacerations are rated according to how severe they are, with a second-degree laceration being one that has actually gone beyond a slight tear in the skin and is now injuring the muscle tissue underneath. The most common complication of these second-degree lacerations after birth is a weakening of the muscles that allow one to p0o; persistence of this problem or an acquisition of postpartum fecal incontinence should both be assessed by a doctor.</span>
