4. What is the process of taking in food called ?
5. What is the importance of hydrochloric acid produced in the inner wall of the stomach ?
Answers
Explanation:
1. Amoeba envelops its food through the process of endocytosis or phagocytosis, where pseudopodia is created by flexibility of the plasma membrane. The pseudopodia is the temporary arm-like projection in amoeba that helps collect the nutrition, alter its size and shape and acts as an organ of locomotion.
2. Ruminant stomachs have four compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum and the abomasum.
3. There are four steps in the digestion process: ingestion, the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food, nutrient absorption, and elimination of indigestible food. The mechanical breakdown of food occurs via muscular contractions called peristalsis and segmentation.
4. Ingestion is the process of taking in food through the mouth.
5. The hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice breaks down the food and the digestive enzymes split up the proteins. The acidic gastric juice also kills bacteria. The mucus covers the stomach wall with a protective coating
please add me as brain list please.
Answer:
- PSEUDOPODIA
- RUMEN,RETICULUM,OMASUM,ABOMASUM
- INGESTION,MECHANICAL AND CHEMICAL BREAKDOWN OF FOOD,NUTRIENT ABSORPTION, ELEMINATION OF INDIGESTIBLE FOOD
- INGESTION
- THE HYDROCHLORIC ACID IN THE GASTRIC JUICE BREAKS DOWN THE FOODAND THE DIGESTIVE ENZYMES SPLIT UP THE PROTEINS.THE ACIDIC GASTRIC JUICE ALSO KILLS BACTERIA
