Mention two structural features of small intestine which add to the absorptive capacity?
Four features of the small intestine make it efficient at absorption of digested food: 1. The small intestine is LONG- this ensures food remains in the small intestine long enough for the products of digestion to be fully absorbed into the bloodstrem. 2. The Small intestine is HIGHLY FOLDED into villi (s. villus)- This gives a greater surface area for more efficient diffusion of products into the bloodstream. 3. The small intestine has a RICH BLOOD SUPPLY - Each villus has a network of capillaries so that the products of digestion are carried away from the small intestine efficiently. 4. The epithelium of the small intestine in the villi is only ONE CELL THICK - for easier diffusion of the products of digestion into the bloodstream. The walls of the capillaries are only one cell thick as well!!
What is the four-stage hypothesis for the origin of life?
The four-stage hypothesis proposes that life began with the abiotic synthesis of small organic molecules, followed by the formation of polymers like RNA, then the packaging of these molecules into protocells, and finally the development of self-replicating molecules within these protocells, leading to the first living organisms.
What are the functions of every organ in the digestive system?
Large Intestine: The purpose of the large intestine is to absorb water and salts from the material that has not been digested as food, and get rid of any waste products left over. By the time food mixed with digestive juices reaches your large intestine, most digestion and absorption has already taken place. 2.**Stomach:**The stomach has 3 main functions: temporary storage for food, which passes from the esophagus to the stomach where it is held for 2 hours or longer. mixing and breakdown of food by contraction and relaxation of the muscle layers in the stomach. digestion of food. 3.Liver: The stomach has 3 main functions: temporary storage for food, which passes from the esophagus to the stomach where it is held for 2 hours or longer. mixing and breakdown of food by contraction and relaxation of the muscle layers in the stomach. digestion of food. 4.Small intestine:The small intestine carries out most of the digestive process, absorbing almost all of the nutrients you get from foods into your bloodstream. The walls of the small intestine make digestive juices, or enzymes, that work together with enzymes from the liver and pancreas to do this. 5.Large Intestine:The purpose of the large intestine is to absorb water and salts from the material that has not been digested as food, and get rid of any waste products left over. By the time food mixed with digestive juices reaches your large intestine, most digestion and absorption has already taken place.
What three polymers are in the cell membrane?
The three main polymers in the cell membrane are phospholipids, cholesterol, and glycolipids. Phospholipids form the lipid bilayer structure, cholesterol helps regulate membrane fluidity, and glycolipids are involved in cell recognition processes.
What organ produce digestive enzymes?
Enzymes are secreted by several organs of the digestive system: the salivary glands, the stomach, the pancreas, and the small intestine. The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract-a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus-and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food (see figure). Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine-also called the colon-rectum, and anus. Inside these hollow organs is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. The digestive tract also contains a layer of smooth muscle that helps break down food and move it along the tract. Two "solid" digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver's digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine. Parts of the nervous and circulatory systems also play major roles in the digestive system. .

Diff bet large and small intestine?
The large intestine is wider in diameter and shorter in length compared to the small intestine. The large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes from the remaining indigestible food matter, while the small intestine is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption from food. The small intestine has three sections (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) compared to the large intestine's four sections (cecum, colon, rectum, anal canal).
