Question

3. What would happen if both food and water passed through single tract?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Undigested remains of food are passed through a one-way muscular valve into the first part of the large intestine known as the caecum – a small pouch that acts as a temporary storage site. By the time food remains have reached this point, about 5–12 hours have elapsed.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules, from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, through a partially permeable membrane. A dilute solution contains a high concentration of water molecules, while a concentrated solution contains a low concentration of water molecules.

Partially permeable membranes are also called selectively permeable membranes or semi-permeable membranes. They let some substances pass through them, but not others.
