Biology

Answer:

Yes, but actually no.

Explanation:

Since gravity pulls inward from all directions equally, a clump, if big enough, will eventually become a round planet. Inertia then keeps that planet spinning on its axis unless something occurs to disturb it.

To simplify, due to gravity, things will keep spinning until something stops it from spinning (this applies to being in space, I think).

Answer:

An observer in space will see that Earth requires 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds to make one complete rotation on its axis. But because Earth moves around the Sun at the same time that it is rotating, the planet must turn just a little bit more to reach the same place relative to the Sun.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer and Explanation:

  • Ingestion of foods and liquids
  • Mechanical processing of food materials and liquids
  • Warming the body with heat released from the digestive organs as they process food.

Digestion is the breakdown of food substances by enzymes to simpler compounds that can be absorbed. Digestion begins in the mouth. Once food is ingested in the mouth, it is chewed and broken into small particles suitable for swallowing. Mechanical procesing of food is through the wave-like contractions of the muscular walls of the alimentary canal called peristalsis. Churn and pound food mixing it with digestive enzymes.

After digestion, absorption and assimilation, the final product is oxidized to provide energy to the body.

Tpy6a [65]

The right option is; production of gametes and hormones

The male reproductive system is a system that contains internal and external structures that are specialized to perform important functions such as production, maintenance and movement of viable sperm (the male gamete) and protective fluid (semen) for reproduction. The male reproductive system also produces and secretes male sex hormones (such as testosterone and follicle-stimulating hormone) which stimulate the activity of reproductive organs or cells.
