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.

Answer:

The order would be: X-Rays, Visible Light, and Infrared Waves.

X-Rays have the shortest wavelength out of all three, then Visible Light, and Infrared Waves have the longest wavelength of the three.

Explanation:

So basically, the LONGER the wavelength, the lower the energy. and the SHORTER the wavelength, the higher the energy. For example, Radio waves are the WEAKEST out of all the types of waves because they have the LONGEST wavelengths. Gamma Rays are the STRONGEST out of all the types of waves because they have the SHORTEST wavelengths. So Radio Waves have the lowest energy, and Gamma Rays have the highest energy.

Here is a list of all the types of waves in order from shortest wavelength to longest wavelengths:

Gamma Rays (Shortest Wavelengths, High Energy), then X-Rays would be the second strongest, then Ultraviolet waves, then Visible Light, then Infrared waves, then Microwaves, and lastly Radio Waves (Longest Wavelengths, Low Energy).

A pressure cooker contains 5.68 liters of air at a temperature of 394 K. If the absolute pressure of the air in the pressure coo
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall find out volume of air at NTP or at 273 K and 10⁵ Pa ( 1 atm )

Let it be V₂

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

\frac{2\times 10^5\times 5.68}{394} =\frac{10^5\times V_2}{273}

V₂ = 7.87 litres

22.4 litres of any gas is equivalent to 1 mole

7.87 litres of air will be equivalent to

7.87 / 22.4 moles

= .35 moles .
