Answer:
The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract—also called the GI tract or digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system.
The small intestine has three parts. The first part is called the duodenum. The jejunum is in the middle and the ileum is at the end. The large intestine includes the appendix, cecum, colon, and rectum. The appendix is a finger-shaped pouch attached to the cecum. The cecum is the first part of the large intestine. The colon is next. The rectum is the end of the large intestine.
Bacteria in your GI tract, also called gut flora or microbiome, help with digestion. Parts of your nervous and circulatory systems also help. Working together, nerves, hormones, bacteria, blood, and the organs of your digestive system digest the foods and liquids you eat or drink each day.
Digestion is important because your body needs nutrients from food and drink to work properly and stay healthy. Proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and water are nutrients. Your digestive system breaks nutrients into parts small enough for your body to absorb and use for energy, growth, and cell repair.
Proteins break into amino acids
Fats break into fatty acids and glycerol
Carbohydrates break into simple sugars

Up to what concentration is carbon dioxide a limiting factor for photosynthesis in low light intensity?
Answer:
Carbon Dioxide limits photosynthesis at a concentration of around 400 ppm (ambient concentration) in low light.
Explanation:
Limiting factors affect the photosynthetic rate, decreasing the potential amount of carbohydrate made via photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is essential to this form of biosynthesis- it provides the inorganic carbon that is integrated into carbohydrate molecules.
Carbon dioxide is typically present in the atmosphere at concentrations of 0.04%. Light intensity typically cause stomata to open, and increase CO2 uptake. Higher concentrations of CO2 up to 0.1%, cause dramatic increases in the photosynthetic rate.
Low light, thus means less stomatal opening, and less CO2 uptake. As low light intensity can be limiting, it lowers the concentration of Carbon dioxide at which the rate becomes constant.
In this series of metabolic reaction, Compound R is converted into Compound A, and
Enzyme X then catalyzes the conversion of Compound A into Compounds B and D.
Compound B is converted to Compound C.
Assume that Compound Cinhibits Enzyme X and that Compound C is not consumed
in a subsequent reaction. As the concentration of Compound C increases, the rate of
production of which compound is LEAST likely to decrease?
A. Compound A
B. Compound B
C. Compound C
D. Compound D
Answer:
A. Compound A
Explanation:
Enzymes are specialized, folded proteins that act as biological catalysts- they speed up the rate of certain chemical reactions in biological systems. Enzymes bind to substrates like compound A to their active site, where they facilitate the modification of molecular strutures, creating new compounds.
Inhibitors like compound C can prevent enzyme-substrate binding activity; the chemical reactions do not occur because the substrates cannot gain access to the active site. Because enzymes show specificity, binding only to certain substrates, other molecules cannot be catalysed by the enzyme.
Here, the amount of Compound A, which is produced via the conversion of R, is increased due to the reaction inhibition- its conversion to B and D is not mediated by X, the inhibited enzyme. While conversion may still occur slowly, without its catalyst, more of the compound is being converted from R to A than A to B and D.
The concentration of A is least likely to decrease.

If you find a rock field with lots of conglomerate rocks, with lots of rounded rocks cemented together in big clusters, what can you say about the area you found?
it once was covered by magma
the area was once covered by a moving stream of water
the area was once shaken by earthquakes
Answer:
I think is B
Explanation:
The land around you, no matter where you live, is made of rock. If you live in a place that has good rich soil, the soil itself is finely broken down or weathered rock.
People that live in a desert region can easily find rocks on the surface. These rocks lay on a surface of clay that is also a product of weathering rock. Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks and minerals into smaller pieces by water, wind, and ice.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the breaking apart of other rocks (igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks) and the cementation, compaction and recrystallization of these broken pieces of rock.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from broken pieces of rocks. These broken pieces of rock are called sediments. The word "Sedimentary" comes from the root word "Sediment".
Sedimentary rocks are usually formed in water. Streams and rivers carry sediments in their current. When the current slows around a bend or the river empties into a lake, or ocean, or another river the sediments fall out because of gravity. The larger sediments fall out first and the lightest sediments fall out last.

The thing that can be said about the area is B. the area was once covered by a moving stream of water.
Conglomerate rocks refer to sedimentary rocks that are made of sand and rounded pebbles which are held together by calcite, silica, or iron oxide.
Since there is a rock field with lots of conglomerate rocks, this could be a result of weathering. In such a case, the area may be once covered by a moving stream of water which could have led to the rocks that were formed.

Which statement below provides evidence to support the endosymbiotic theory?
A. Membranplasma membrane.
B. Both eukaryotes of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus are similar to the test and prokaryotes contain DNA.
C. Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain DNA similar to prokaryotic DNA
D. Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes contain ribosomes.
Answer:
c. mitochondria and chloroplasts contain dna similar to prokaryotic dna
Explanation:
if i remember correctly the endosymbiotic theory explains how eukaryotic cells had originated from prokaryotic cells or something. it is theorized that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free living prokaryotes, and this is evidenced by mitochondria and chloroplasts having their own dna and double membranes
how many cells do we shed everyday
Answer:
30,000 to 40,000
Explanation:
Answer: Though you can't see it happening, every minute of the day we lose about 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells off the surface of our skin. So just in the time it took you to read this far, you've probably lost about 40,000 cells. That's almost 9 pounds (4 kilograms) of cells every year!

What would be the effect on the seasons and the northern and southern hemispheres if Earth were not tilted? Explain your answer.
(its science, not bio I'm in middle school 8th grade I don't know why it says highschool)
Answer:
If the Earth weren't tilted on its axis, there would be no seasons. And humanity would suffer. When a Mars-size object collided with Earth 4.5 billion years ago, it knocked off a chunk that would become the moon. It also tilted Earth sideways a bit, so that our planet now orbits the sun on a slant.

How do you think the plant uses the sugars that it has created in photosynthesis?
The sugar produced by photosynthesis can be converted into the sugar glucose. Thousands of glucose molecules can be linked together to form the complex carbohydrate cellulose. Cellulose is a very tough molecule that is used to build the cell wall of plant cells.
pls mark brainliest if you feel like it...
The plant then releases oxygen into the air. Glucose, which is actually a sugar, feeds the plant. There are many uses of glucose in plants. Glucose helps plants grow, form flowers and develop fruit. It also helps plants develop seeds.
