Answer: Small intestines
Explanation: Digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth mechanically and through salivary amylase. It passes down to the stomach by parastalsis, digested further and goes to the small intestines where their absorption begins. Carbohydrates are a source of glucose, that most organs use as their primary energy source. Indigestible carbohydrates and fibers travels down to the large intestines where they are digested by bacteria or eliminated as waste through the anus.
The small intestines consist of microvilli that increase surface area for maximum nutrient absorption. Carbohydrates are absorbed by the small intestines via the jejunum, taken to the blood stream then transported to the liver where glycolysis and most metabolic pathways take place, for energy production.
The word sponge is more appropriate to use than Underground river since an underground river can loose water while an aquifer cannot loose water, unless it is open-air and above ground. then the aquifer would slowly loose water due to evaporation from the sun.
Answer:
To recieve information and control functions
Explanation:
Answer:
The statement that is correct is that all cells have the same genes, but different genes are active in different cells.
Explanation:
Differentiation or specialization is a function that cells possess and is what allows them to have different types of cells and tissues.
Cell differentiation depends on genetic regulation, a mechanism that determines the specific genes that are expressed in a cell or tissue type.
All cells contain the same DNA, which is organized into chromosomes and contain the genes that determine specific characteristics. <u>There is cell differentiation because some genes can be expressed and others are suppressed, all due to genetic regulation</u>.
The other choices are wrong because:
- <em>The eyes look different from the liver, because they have the same genes, but only some are expressed.
</em>
- <em>Differentiated cells and tissues do not lose their genes.
</em>
- <em>All cells have DNA.</em>
<span>The correct answer is b. Option a is incorrect because these models can demonstrate scientific theories, but they don't prove scientific theories (you would need experiments for that). Option c is incorrect because the models aren't always representing something abstract (i.e. DNA is very real, just very small). Option d is incorrect because they don't precisely mimic something in nature, but instead help us visualize something in nature that is difficult to see or comprehend.</span>
