1

During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?

66% Answer Correctly

stomach

pancreas

large intestine

small intestine


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.

As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

66% Answer Correctly

mixes with

cancels out

pushes under

pushes above


Solution

A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
