The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?
pancreas |
|
small intestine |
|
all of these are correct |
|
liver |
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude only |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
Elements in the Periodic Table of the Elements are ordered by which of the following?

|
atomic number |
