Answer:

The answer is: the mouth.

Explanation:

Chemical digestion is the breakdown of food into small particles to subsequently go through the process of absorption and transport to cells.

The mouth secretes enzymes capable of breaking relatively strong intra-molecular bonds so that difficult-to-digest molecules turn into small, digestible molecules (Nutrients).

The answer is "mouth' Because when food enters the mouth saliva uses an enzyme called amylase that begins breaking down carbohydrates.

Clara is a vegan and she does not drink milk, a food advertised as a best source of calcium. But she is not worried too much sin

marysya [2.9K]

Explanation:

%DV label= 27%

1 cup of cooked collared greens= aprx 266.60 mg of Calcium

Assuming Clara is...

a teen, her required adequate intake (RAI)= 1300 mg/ day
an adult, her RAI= 1000 mg/day

For teenaged Clara

∵27 % DV= 270mg

% daily Calcium= $\frac{270}{1300} * 100=$ = 20.8 ≈ 21%

=0.21

21% of her daily calcium needs is in a cup of cooked collard greens.

Calcium is an essential mineral required by the human body, it is involved in cell signalling, muscular function and homeostasis. Along with fats, fiber, vitamin A and C and iron, calcium makes up part of a recommended daily intake target or DV- these are integral to a balanced diet.

In order for a sedimentary rock (made of particles) to form, what must occur?

wolverine [178]

First, preexisting rocks must weather/erode, forming the sediment that will eventually form the sedimentary rock. Then, that sediment must settle someplace, and over a long period of time, pressure begins to build. This causes the sediments to become compacted. After a long period of time (and a lot of pressure), the sediments cement together and form a sedimentary rock. In a nutshell, sedimentary rocks form through compaction, cementation, and eventually... lithification.
