Biology

erica [24]2 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 />

If the activation energy required for a chemical reaction were reduced, what would happen to the rate of the reaction? The rate
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The rate would increase.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the energy needed for a chemical reaction to start while the rate of reaction is how a reactant turns into the product. Catalysts are used to speeden up the rate of a chemical reaction.

The catalyst do this by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur, leading to the increase in the rate at which the same reaction occurs. It should be noted that a catalyst is not a reactant, neither does it get used up in the chemical reaction. It just provides an alternative energy pathway with a reduced activation energy, hereby, helping the reaction to proceed faster than it would without the catalyst.

Cohort studies preserve the temporality of cause (exposure) happening before the effect (disease)
Valentin [98]
The answer would be true

Cohort and experimental study are best for finding causality because in both studies the effect/disease is not exist before the cause/exposure given. The sample of this study will be classified based on exposure of a certain factor. Cohort study is preferable in many case because intentional exposure in experimental study is not ethical.
