Answer: Option A) sinkhole formation.

Explanation:

A sinkhole refers to any dug-out or depressed area of land where human

or animal waste (excreta) are deposited.

Now, since these wastes contains water and are biodegradable by microorganisms, the fecal matter could be infected and in turns infect groundwater.

The contaminated-groundwater poses danger due to disease-causing organisms like

- vibrio cholerae, causing cholera

- Salmonella typhi, causing typhoid outbreak present, and also reduces volume of suitable drinking water in the community

Thus, the answer is sinkhole formation

Why can water be a good insulator within the body of endothermic (warm-blooded) animals?

in the adult digestive tract, where do lipases break fat into fragments so that it can be absorbed into the lymph?

Strike441 [17]

As to the digestive tract, the function of the lipases would take place in the small intestine.

Lipase is an enzyme that helps us to <u>metabolize fat</u>. It does this through <u>hydrolysis</u>. Although in reality, as an enzyme, its main function is to catalyze this process. Lipases are the subclass enzyme of the esterases.

Lipases are necessary for the proper digestion and transport of fats in the form of lipids. They are also essential to process these lipids in the human body. This enzyme is present in most living organisms outside of humans.

Although lipase enzymes are produced throughout the body, the bulk of lipase production occurs in the pancreas. It will then travel to the small intestine to carry out its functions in the digestive tract.

galben [10]

DNA in prokaryotes frees in the cytoplasm, while in eukaryotes (like humans) DNA is in the nucleus.

Human DNA is found in the cells that make up your tissues and organs: nerve cells, liver cells (liver), skin cells ... They are extremely numerous, more than 50 000 billion and have very diversified functions! Most of our cells are microscopic (20 to 30 micrometers) and contain an even smaller nucleus structure.

Each nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell, the chromosomes.

Mitochondrial DNA can also be found in mitochondria, but mitochondria are much smaller than nuclear DNA.
