2

The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?

65% Answer Correctly

all of these are correct

pancreas

small intestine

liver


Solution

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.


3

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

69% Answer Correctly

combinational quantities

vector quantities

composite quantities

scalar quantities


Solution

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:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?

88% Answer Correctly
