Answer:

C. Compaction

Explanation:

Chyme enters from the small intestine into the large intestine. In the large intestine, chyme becomes solid or semisolid as the water is absorbed from it. Absorption of excess water from chyme to convert it into the feces in the large intestine is called compaction. Feces consist of water, inorganic salts, unabsorbed digested materials, and indigestible parts of food.  During compaction, enough water is absorbed and this makes large intestine one of the important organs in maintaining the body’s water balance.

Which statements are true for dna and rna? check all that apply?
LekaFEV [45]
Since there are no given choices, I would just compare and contrast DNA and RNA. These are the two types of nucleic acids in the human body. The structural unit of nucleic acids are composed of repeating units of monomers called nucleotides. Nucelotides are composed of three functional groups: sugars which are specifically pentoses (5-Carbon sugars), phosphate group and nitrogenous base.

Now, the RNA and DNA differ in the composition of these sugars and the bases. Based on the nitrogenous bases and sugar, the DNA has a deoxyribose as the sugar and its 4 bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. For RNA, the sugar is ribose while its 4 bases are <span>adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

They also differ in their structure. </span>DNA is a double stranded β-helix with a long chain of nucleotides. RNA is composed of a shorter chain with a single strand α-helix structure.

Lastly, they differ in their functions. T<span>he DNA is responsible for storing the genetic information while the RNA is responsible for transporting the genetic information to the ribosomes which synthesize proteins.</span>
