Answer:
Foods are ingested by the mouth where they are chewed by the teeth and savored by the taste buds present in the tongue. In the mouth, saliva breaks down food into substances that are easier to digest. Subsequently, the pharynx allows food to be swallowed and it pushes the food into the esophagus, the contractions of the esophageal muscle allow the movement of the food through the esophagus and to the stomach where the food is mixed with the juices and are mostly digested. In the stomach nutrients are absorbed. There are particles that are not absorb and they pass to the intestine where other nutrients are transported to the blood, then pass to the large interstinum where there is water absorption and stool formation that are expelled through the rectum.
Answer:
1. Cells are composed of chemicals and both the structure and function of cells are regulated by the basic principles of chemistry. true
2. Scientists have successfully sequenced the entire genome of humans but have not yet sequenced the entire genome of any other species. false
3. Living systems are the most complex chemical systems on earth. true
4. Living systems are governed by the same principles of chemistry and physics that govern non-living systems. true
5. Living organisms contain unique chemical elements which are not found in non-living systems. false
6. An input of energy is required to maintain the complexity of living systems. true
7. The energy conversions that take place in living systems are governed by the same laws of thermodynamics that govern non-living systems. true
Explanation:
Cells are the basic unit of life which differentiate a living thing from a non- living thing. Although a living system, is made of the same chemical elements from which a non-living t=might be made, yet they are different from the non-living things as living things carry out the seven basic principles of live.
All living things carry genetic material from which their genome is made. Scientists have currently been able to sequence the genome of humans as well as many other organisms.
