Both the esophagus and the small intestine are involved in the digestion of food. The esophagus squeezes food into the stomach by 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.

Answers

Answer 1

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.

if you start with 55 grams of sodium flouride naf how many grams of magnesium fluride mgf2 will be produced

Answers

Answer:

Mass of MgF₂ formed = 40.5 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NaF = 55 g

Mass of MgF₂ formed =  ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2NaF  +  Mg      →     MgF₂ + 2Na

Number of moles of NaF:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 55 g / 41.98 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.3 mol

now we will compare the moles of sodium fluoride with magnesium fluoride.

                     NaF       :          MgF₂

                       2          :             1

                     1.3          :        1/2×1.3 =  0.65 mol

Mass of magnesium fluoride:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.65 mol × 62.3 g/mol

Mass = 40.5 g

How much mass of sodium chloride ( ) should be dissolved in water to make 1.5 L of 0.75 M aqueous solution? The molar mass of is 58.5 g.

Answers

Answer:

Mass = 65.8 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium chloride = ?

Volume of solution = 1.5 L

Molarity of solution = 0.75 M

Solution:

Number of moles of sodium chloride:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

By putting values,

0.75 M = number of moles = 1.5 L

Number of moles = 0.75 M × 1.5 L

Number of moles = 1.125 mol

Mass of sodium chloride:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.125 mol × 58.5 g/mol

Mass = 65.8 g

A 500 mL sample of drinking water contains 0.001 mg of mercury. How many ppb is this?

Answers

Answer:

The value is   [tex]k = 2 \ ppb[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The volume of the drinking water is  [tex]V = 500 \ mL = 500 *10^{-3} \ L = 500 *10^{-6} \ m^3[/tex]

   The mass of  mercury it contains  [tex]m_c = 0.001 \ mg = 0.001 *10^{-3} \ g = 0.001 *10^{-6}\ kg[/tex]

 

Generally the mass of water is mathematically represented as

       [tex]m = V * \rho[/tex]

Here [tex]\rho[/tex] is the  density of water with value  [tex]\rho = 1000 \ kg/m^3[/tex]

So

       [tex]m = 500 *10^{-6 }* 1000[/tex]

=>    [tex]m = 0.5 \ kg[/tex]

Generally  ppb mean part per billon ,  and  1 billon is  100,000,000

So the part per billon which this represents is mathematically represented as

        [tex]k = \frac{0.001 *10^{-6}}{ 0.5} * 100 000 000[/tex]

=>     [tex]k = 2 \ ppb[/tex]

Answer:

2 ppb

Answers

Answer:

Weather is the condition of Earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place, whereas climate is the characteristic weather in an area over a long period of time.

Explanation:

Weather and climate are two very important conditions that describes the atmospheric overview of a place.

Weather is reported over a short period of time, it is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular time and place.

Climate is reported over a long period of term. The average weather condition of a place over a long period of time is the climate.

The most important control over the climate of a place is the temperature and amount of precipitation it receives over a period of time. Weather conditions is reported using more diverse factors such a temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, etc.

what is the relationship between the thickness of the book and the ability of the magnet to hold on to and attract the paper clips?

Answers

Answer:

The thicker the metal, the harder it is for the magnet to attract more paper clips.

Explanation:

There exists a relationship between the paper and the paper clip. The more is the thickness of the paper the stronger the paper clip will be. As size has the ability to attract and affect.

In another sense the stronger is the metal of the paper clip the tighter will be the element of the magnet Thus more will be the ability of the magnet to keep hold of the paper. Hence the closer is the magnet the more is the grip.

Ralph wanted to breed a pea plant that produced only purple flowers. He continued to breed purple-flower producing pea plants together over six generations. The results of Ralph's selective breeding are shown above. What did the selective breeding do to the population of pea plants?

A. increased its genetic diversity

B. decreased its genetic diversity

C. caused a new species of pea plant to form

D. caused a pea plant to exhibit a new characteristic

The correct answer would be that selective breeding decreased the genetic diversity of the population of the pea plants.

The genetic diversity of a population can be viewed as the number of genes in the gene pool of the population.

With each successive generation, more purple-flowered and less white-flowered pea plants were being produced until the 6th generation when only purple-flowered pea plants were produced. The ratio of the purple color gene to that of white color kept increasing until there was no longer a white color gene in the population. Hence, the genetic diversity of the population was decreased by the selective breeding.

The correct option is B
