Which nutrient is a key component in cell membranes neurons and certain hormones?
FAT
Fossils are the key to matching rocks across large regions?
Yes, they are one key.
What kind of a cell lines the small intestine and assembles fat?
The small intestine is lined with epithelial cells. These specialized cells have microvilli on their surface, which increase their surface area for absorption. These cells play a key role in the absorption of nutrients and fats from the digestive tract into the bloodstream.
Can a burst appendix stop a woman from having children?
I doubt it, im no RN or anything, but the appendix is attached to your large intestine and doesnt affect reproductive organs. I think if it caused any damage, it could be easily repaired by surgery. If the appendix burst and caused internal infection, it could damage or destroy the ovaries and other key parts of the reproductive system. This would be an exception and would be a case where it wasn't treated for a long time.
What is the importance of the nutrient cycle?
Food nutrient cycle is a process by which nutrients are passed from living things to non-living things in a continuous cycle.Nutrients are the chemicals needed by all living things and are continually cycled through ecosystems.Examples: Water, Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorous.Water - to drinkCarbon - plants absorb to created oxygenNitrogen - Plants gather it from the atmosphere (we can't use it in this form), the Nitrogen is converted into Nitrates which plants use and then released back into the atmosphere as nitrogen.Phosphorous - absorbed by plants.All of the life on earth revolves around a few key nutrients and in combination with energy form the sun it is theses nutrients which are required by all of earth's producers. These nutrients are essentially contained within a closed system on earth, which means no nutrients enter or leave the biosphere in large quantities. For this reason there is a limited amount of the essential nutrients available to the producers, so the available nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus must be recycled and reused by organisms. The recycling of these nutrients involves interactions between both the living organisms and the physical environment, so they are called biogeochemical cycles. These cycles are often considered to be "leaky" since nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus may be carried away in rain water to the deep ocean where it is removed from the cycle, other sources of nutrient loss include harvesting and burning of organic material. The following nutrient cycles are of utmost importance to all life and earth and are reported on thoroughly.Nutrient Cycles:· Water Cycle· Carbon Cycle· Nitrogen Cycle· Phosphorus Cycle
What is the excretory systems key structure in order?
mouth, oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus
How does the function of the large intestine relate to another key resource?
Mainly to reduce the water percentage of the bowel content. It does this by absorbing the extra liquids and using them to function - such as fibre and water. Any excess water will be absorbed, or comes out as urine.
What body part does the medical root word jejuno refer to?
Jejuno refers to the jejunum, the middle part of the small intestine that plays a key role in nutrient absorption.
The GI tract starts with the and ends with the?
Gastrointestinal tract, key word = intestinal. The small intestine begins at the stomach withe the Duodnum and moves into the large intestine aka colon which ends at the anus.
What is absorbed in the colon?
The colon absorbs nutrients, and sometimes contaminants of nutrients.
Which nutrient is a key component in cell membranes neurons and certain hormones?
FAT
How does the small intestine work with other systems to keep the body healthy?
The small intestine is a key part of the digestive cycle. It begins in your mouth with the chemical and mechanical (chewing) breakdown of food. Chewing breaks down the food and mixes it with saliva and mucus and CACA (helps bond food together). When food is swallowed it enters the esophagus and travels to the stomach using a muscular contraction called peristalsis. The contents are then emptied into the stomach and are broken down even more by gastric juices that contain digestive enzymes along with the contraction of the stomach which moves the contents to the beginning of the small intestine (duodenum). The bile and pancreatic duct empty their excretions in the duodenum. The bile breaks down fats while the pancreatic enzymes help break down other food particles. The majority of absorption takes place in the second part of the small intestine (jejunum). Nutrient and fat particles are absorbed by the walls of the jejunum while the excess waste is sent further down through the large intestines which prepare it for excretion by reabsorbing all liquid. The intestinal wall is covered in finger like villi which contain a network of blood vessels (capillaries). These absorb the available nutrients and transport it to the liver. The fat particles are also absorbed, but taken into the circulatory system. - km
What key identifies the large number of living things spider key or numbered key?

Fossils are the key to matching rocks across large regions?
Yes, they are one key.
Which key do you hold if you want to select a large range of contiguous cells in excel?
shift key
What are the key elements of literature?
A very large sandwich and a rootbeer
Is a human appendix a homologous structure?
The human appendix (a small sac near the junction of the small and large intestine) is homologous to a structure called the "caecum", a large, blind chamber in which leaves and grasses are digested in many other mammals.http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=3246
