Most of the fats in your diet should come from unsaturated fats. Examples of unsaturated fats are fish, nuts, vegetable oils, and avocados

8-Enzymes are proteins that help break down larger molecules into smaller molecules. Enzymes also speed up or catalyze the rate of chemical reactions. Without enzymes some chemical reactions would be too slow or wouldn't occur at all.

there are many types of enzymes. Each one is specialized to help break down a specific molecule at a specific location in the body.

9-the involuntary constriction and relaxation of the muscles of the intestine or another canal, creating wave-like movements that push the contents of the canal forward.

Those who support the alien theory believe that the ancient Egyptians were very primitive. What evidence about the ancient Egypt
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The ancient Egyptians were far from primitive. They were some of the best inventors of their time, creating technology that surpassed that of other civilizations during this time period.

Explanation:

  • Around 3000 BC, Egyptians discovered how they could make bronze, which was far more durable than other metals during that time.  This innovation started the Bronze age.
  • Ancient Egyptians were among the first groups of people to write and to keep records.
  • The ancient Egyptians turned the Cyperus papyrus plant into sheets which could be rolled into scrolls. They basically created the first paper.
  • To write on the newly invented paper, they created ink made for writing.
  • The Egyptians devised a highly accurate solar calendar by recording the yearly reappearance of the star Sirius (the Dog Star) in the eastern sky.
  • The Egyptians used  obelisks as sundials, by observing how shadows cast by the obelisk moved around them during the course of the day. This acted as a clock.
