Which phrase listed below best describes the function of the digestive system?

Biology
1 answer:
erica [24]3 years ago
7 0


C is the correct answer. The main function of the digestive system is to break down food into nutrients.

Food is needed to fuel the body for energy, and also for growth and repair. The digestive system converts the food we eat into their simplest forms , like glucose, amino acids and fatty acids. The broken down food is then absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine and the nutrients are carried to each cell of the body.

The large intestine  serves as a storage organ for the excretory products. However though this is true, the main function of the digestive system is to break down food into nutrients. The excretory duty is more of a necessity rather than a primary function.<span /><span /><span /><span />

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.

hope it helps

In order for translation to occur: Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answe
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

there must be large numbers of free amino acids present in the cytoplasm

Explanation:

<em>In order for translation to occur, </em><em>there must be a large number of free amino acids in the cytoplasm.</em>

<u>These free amino acids are usually carried by the transfer RNA which also carries the corresponding mRNA codon.</u>

During translation, as the codons in the mRNA match their complements in the tRNA, the amino acid being carried by the tRNA is released and a peptide bond is formed between subsequent amino acids until the required polypeptide bond is formed.

Translation and transcription only occur simultaneously in prokaryotic cells where there is no barrier between the cell's genetic materials and the cytoplasm, unlike in eukaryotic cells where the genetic materials are housed in the membrane-bound nucleus.

What component of the blood does Warfarin affect
maksim [4K]
Anticoagulants such as heparin or warfarin (also called Coumadin) slow down your body's process of making clots. Antiplatelet drugs, such as aspirin, prevent blood cells called platelets from clumping together to form a clot. When you take a blood thinner, follow directions carefully.
