What does the rough ER look like?
The rough ER is a long coiled tube that looks like a intestine. If it is rough it has ribosomes traveling on it.
What substance cannot be absorbed directly into the blood?
Long chain fatty acids
What is the coiled duct which provides for storage transit and maturation of spermatozoa on top of the testes that carries the mature sperm called?
The coiled duct which provides for storage, transit and maturation of spermatozoa on top of the testes that carries the mayure sperm is called the epididymis. The epididymis measures about 6 to 7 meters long in males.
How do other protists feed?
They get their food from the surrounding environment, during feeding the process the amoeba produces long extensions of its body known as Pseudo pods around the food until it is completely surrounded. This creates a food is then digested by special molecules called Enzymes that break down the food into much smaller particles that the amoeba can use as energy for movement.
What are thin long strands of DNA that are coiled folded and twisted into short condensed strands?
Both vary considerably among organisms and types. The DNA in humans, uncoiled from chromosomes, differs from that of a different organism. Proteins can range from dipeptides (two amino acids) to thousands of amino acids long.
Where does digested food take place?
It mainly takes place in our small intestine.The 20 feet long coiled tube...
What is the purpose of having a long digestive tract?
It makes sure that your food is completely digested and you have absorbed all the nutrients.
Food is digested in the?
i dont know the answer but its not the small intestine. The small intestine is a long folded tube inside the body attached to the stomach where nutrients in the food are absorbed.
What places does peristalsis not occur?
Long intestine. The food has already been digested and the nutrients are already absorbed in the long intestine, which means the process of digestion has been completed by this stage.
Why does food stays in the organs so long?
because the food needs to be digested and it takes a long rime to process this
Why is the small intestine long and coiled up?
In order that enough nutrients are absorbed through the walls of the small intestine as food passes through, the tube has to be long. In an adult, the small intestine can be anything up to 6 metres or over in length. thank you... Shunterria S. Parham May 2009
How does a butterfly obtain food?
They suck nectar through their proboscis, a long tongue coiled under their mouth.
How long does it take for energy from food to get into the bloodstream?
That would depend on the type of food. If the food is complex then it has to be digested and broken down into molecules that can be absorbed across the intestinal lining. This will take time and the process would be gradual (lasting hours). However, if the food was pure glucose no digestion would be needed and the molecule would be available in the blood in a few minutes.
What is the long tube in which chemical digestion is finished and food is absorbed?
Intestines.
If you swallow gum can you die?
So long as you don't choke on it, it will be absorbed/digested by your digestive system. It will not hurt you but it's hardly nutritious.
What is the long tube inside the body attached to the stomach where nutrients in the food are absorbed?
Small intestine is where 90% of nutrients are absorbed.
How do you classify a digestion reaction?
Digestion is a chemical reaction that takes place in the body, starting from the mouth and ending in the small intestine. It is a long process taking place in a 9m long alimentary canal. Ingestion in the mouth is when the food is taken in, digestion when the food is broken down into simpler molecules, absorption when the digested food is absorbed by the blood, assimilation when the digested food is utilised by the the body and finally, egestion where the unwanted food is excreted out from the body, through the anus. With these processes, there are many other organs in the body which help digestion to take place, some being the liver, pancreas, stomach, small intestine.
