Answer:Water is absorbed by osmosis and lipids by passive diffusion throughout the small intestine.

Explanation:In the colon endocrine mechanisms used include: Aldosterone – increases the net absorption of water and electrolytes by stimulating the basolateral sodium-potassium ATP-ase. This increases the electrochemical gradient and driving force for sodium absorption.

Describe how a metamorphic rock might become a sedimentary rock over time.

Darya [45]

Answer: Geologic Eplift and Erosion

Explanation: This happens due to geologic uplift and the erosion of the rock and soil above them. At the surface, metamorphic rocks will be exposed to weathering processes and may break down into sediment. These sediments could then be compressed to form sedimentary rocks, which would start the entire cycle again.

Good luck! You are smart and you can accomplish anything!

Imagine that part of a population of South American finches is blown by a storm onto an island far offshore and manages to survi

lina2011 [118]

Answer: The observation "A" leads us to conclude that the finches populations are from two different species

Explanation:

According to the biological concept of species, <em>a set of individuals are from the same species if they are able to reproduce and leave fertile offspring</em>. This is key so one species can be successful and perpetuate through time. If they cannot leave descendants, then the species will be extinct. However, it’s possible that two individuals from different species mate and have descendants, but they cannot leave fertile offspring. When they are from different species, the offspring will be sterile and it is called a hybrid.

In the case of the South American finch, the island's finch population and mainland's finch population belong to different species because their offspring is sterile. To have different features, as different feather's color, or to have other dietary preference is not enough to say that they are different species. This is because within the same species, individuals can have variations. For example, we can different eye color and belong to the same species.
