Both the esophagus and the small intestine are involved in the digestion of food. The esophagus squeezes food into the stomach b

y wave-like muscle contractions. Peptidase enzymes in the small intestine break food molecules into smaller molecules.
Which statement best describes changes to food during digestion?

A. The muscle contractions result in physical changes, while the action of the peptidase results in chemical changes.

B. The muscle contractions result in chemical changes, while the peptidase results in physical changes.

C. The muscle contractions and the action of the peptidase both result only in physical changes.

D. The muscle contractions and the action in the peptidase both result only in chemical changes.

Answer:

The answer is: A

Explanation:

The wave-like contractions are to be considered a physical change as they do not take part in the breaking-down of the food. The peptidase is a chemical change because it is used to chemically break down the food to retrieve nutrients and such.

marta [7]

Answer:

<h2>80 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 20 × 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>80 N</h3>

Why does liquid stay at a constant temperature while it is boiling?
GaryK [48]
It is because say water boils at 212 F, if it goes higher at 213 it would get so much heat and energy it turns into a gas, so it cannot stay a liquid with 213 because at that point it would be gas, thus when water reaches 212 it's max if it goes any higher it will be gas

Which one of the following statements is FALSE? a In a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with base to produce a salt and H
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

HF is a weak acid and not a strong acid. This is because fluorine is a highly electronegative atom and when it combines with a hydrogen atom then it will attract the valence electron of hydrogen atom more towards itself.

As a result, it will not dissociates easily to give hydrogen ion. Hence, it acts as a weak acid.

A neutralization reaction is defined as a reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to give salt and water. For example, HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_{2}O

It is true that, spectator ions "appear in the total ionic equation for a reaction, but not in the net ionic equation".

Titration is defined as a process in which concentration of an unknown solution is determined using a solution of known concentration.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement HF, HCl, and HNO3 are all examples of strong acids, is false.
