Most digestion takes place where?
small intestine |
|
stomach |
|
large intestine |
|
mouth |
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.

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
vector quantities |
|
scalar quantities |
|
composite quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
