Answer:

1. Leaves have a large surface area so more light hits them.

2. A leaf is optimized to absorb light and carry out photosynthesis

Explanation:

A leaf usually has a large surface area, so that it can absorb a lot of light. Its top surface is protected from water loss, disease, and weather damage by a waxy layer. The upper part of the leaf is where the light falls, and it contains a type of cell called a palisade cell. This is adapted to absorb a lot of light.

What is the relationship between Microvilli of gut, epithelium, glucose, circulatory system, capillary fenestrations, glucose/AT
diamong [38]

All of these are the components of the catabolic pathway or using the nutrients to provide energy from it. The breakdown of food molecules begins in the mouth and continues to the small intestine. The nutrients are absorbed through the wall of the small intestine which. The surface of the intestine wall is specially modified (contains a huge number of hair-like structures-microvilli) which increase nutrient absorption. (more area for nutrients to be absorbed).  The digestive tract is lined with mucosa which consists of simple columnar epithelial cells. Monomer subunits of the food, like glucose are than absorbed and diffused down a concentration gradient into capillary blood. Glucose is converted into pyruvate molecules through the process of glycolysis. Catabolism ends in the major energy-converting organelle, the mitochondrion, where the ATP is produced.

Explain what direct evidence is used to help geologists learn about earths interior
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Seismic Waves.

Explanation:

Geologists record the seismic waves and study how they travel through Earth. Different types of seismic waves behave differently. The speed of the waves and the paths they take reveal the structure of the planet. Using data from seismic waves geologists have learned that Earth's interior is made up of layers.

This would be an example of negative feedback because the body isn’t trying to surpass a set point. It’s trying to maintain the amount of food in the stomach at that point.
