what is the role of large intestine

Answer»

the main role of large intestine absorb water from the remaining indigestible food matter and transmit the useless waste material from the body.

lt absorbes water from the food

The small intestine is followed by large intestine which is shorter but wider than small intestine. The greater part of small intestine is colon. the colon is followed by rectal . the rectal wall mainly absorbs water from the undigested food The faecal matter is egested out through anal opening by the activity of anal spinhcter and the process is called egestion.

the main role of large intestine is to suck th ewater which is presented in the digested food because it has still nutrients and minerals

Where are lysosomes synthesized? Why are lysosomes called as"Scavengers of the cells"?

Answer»

Lysosomesare manufactured and budded into the cytoplasm by the Golgi apparatus with enzymes inside. The enzymes that are within thelysosomeare made in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which are then delivered to the Golgi apparatus via transport vesicles.Lysosomesarecalledso because they remove the cellular debris. ...Lysosomesdestroy any foreign organisms…(let it be bacteria or viruses or whatever it maybe) that enter the cell. And so they arecalleddigestive bags. Thus they act asscavengersby killing all the foreign organisms that enter the cell.

Observe the figure carefully and identify the process taking place.(A) Asexual reproduction (B) Involves single parent(C) BuddingRead the classification of microorganisms.(D) All of the above

Answer»

Option D is correct.

Explanation:

Given figure shows the process of budding in a yeast cell. Budding is a method of asexual reproduction in which the parent nucleus split into daughter nuclei and one part moves into the bud. Later, after significant development period, the bud gets detached from parent's body and live as an independent yeast cell. This mode of reproduction requires only one parent.

why do herbivores have longer intestine than carnivores

Answer»

Cellulose forms the largest part of the herbivore’s food. Digestion of cellulose takes a longer time, because the enzymes are produced by the ruminant bacteria that live in the gut of the herbivore. Longer intestine ensures that the food stays for a longer duration and proper digestion is possible. In the case of carnivores, cellulose is not present in the diet, thus the length of intestine is less.

(e) How are the teeth of herbivores different from those of carnivores?

Answer»

The teeth of carnivorous animals are adapted to tearing flesh and are usually long and sharpThe teeth of herbivorous animals are adapted to cutting and tearing leaves from plants and then crushing them

Carnivoreshave a set ofteeththat are verydifferentfromherbivores'. This makes sense, because they also have adifferentdiet. Acarnivorewill use itsteethto kill a prey item before eating it. The sharp incisors and pointed canineteethare perfectly designed for both incapacitating and eating a meal.

Herbivores incisors are sharp for tearing plants, but they may not be present on both upper jaw and lower jaw..... carnivores have a set of teeth that are very different from herbivores. this makes sense, because they also have a different diet. A carnivores will use its teeth to kill prey item before eating it.

This is how the teeth of herbivores different from those of carnivores

ine glands and specify oneName the hormones secreted by the following endocrfunction of each:(a) Thyroid (b) Pituitary (c) Pancreas

Answer»

The 2 main thyroid hormones are T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). T3 and T4 regulate your body's temperature, metabolism and heart rate.

The action of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secreted by pituatary gland is plain to see from its name because it stimulates theadrenalcortex to secrete hormones.

Primary hormones secreted by the pancreas include:

Gastrin: This hormone aidsdigestionby stimulating certain cells in thestomachto produce acid.Glucagon: Glucagon helps insulin maintain normal blood glucose by working in the opposite way of insulin.

4363.

8. (a) W(b)hy is small intestine in herbivores longer than in carnivores?What will happen if mucus is not secreted by gastric glands?(c) What process in plants is known as transpiration?

Answer»

8)a)Cellulose forms the largest part of the herbivore’s food. Digestion of cellulose takes a longer time, because the enzymes are produced by the ruminant bacteria that live in the gut of the herbivore. Longer small intestine ensures that the food stays for a longer duration and proper digestion is possible. In the case of carnivores, cellulose is not present in the diet, thus the length of small intestine is less.

b)

c)Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves. Transpiration also includes a process called guttation, which is the loss of water in liquid form from the uninjured leaf or stem of the plant, principally through water stomata.

discuss role of thyroxine and parathyroid hormone.

Answer»

The thyroid gland produces two vital metabolic hormones — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). T3 and T4 are produced using iodine, with T3 containing three iodine atoms and T4 containing four. Both T3 and T4 are used to regulate the body’s metabolism by turning on practically every cell in the body and inducing them to produce proteins. The result of the increase in cellular metabolism leads to many physiological effects, including increased heart rate, tissue growth and development, body heat production, and energy consumption.

Calcitonin is also produced by the thyroid gland and works as an antagonist to the only hormone produced by the parathyroid glands, parathyroid hormone (PTH). These two hormones work together to maintain the vital homeostatic balance of calcium ions in the blood, which is essential to the proper function of muscle and nervous tissue as well as bone health. Calcium deficiency may cause twitching, spasms, convulsions and even death, while too much calcium can lead to a weakening of muscle tone andkidney stones. Calcitonin reduces the level of free calcium ions in the blood by reducing the absorption of calcium from food in the intestines; increasing the excretion of calcium ions in the kidneys; and decreasing the activity of osteoclast cells that break down bone matrix to release calcium ions. PTH raises calcium ion levels by increasing calcium absorption in the intestine; decreasing calcium excretion in the kidneys; and increasing the activity of osteoclasts in bones.

4392.

12. How is oxygen and carbon dioxide transported in human beings?

Answer»

Exchange of gases takes place between the alveoli of the lungs and the surrounding blood capillaries. The two main gases exchanged are oxygen and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is absorbed by the blood capillaries from the lungs alveoli by diffusion while carbon-dioxide is absorbed by the lungs alveoli from blood capillaries by diffusion. Transport of oxygen and carbon-dioxide occurs with the help of respiratory pigment called haemoglobin.Haemoglobin, the iron-containing respiratory pigment is a red coloured pigment of blood, which has a very high affinity for oxygen. Haemoglobin though is purple coloured but oxy-haemoglobin is of bright red colour. Oxygen is transported from the lungs to the body cells in the form of oxy-haemoglobin.Carbon-dioxide is transported from the body cell to the lungs in the forms of carboxy-haemoglobin, carbonic acid, bicarbonates of sodium and potassium.

LOCCLLLLCLIC2. Define germination. What are the conditions required for germination of seeds!TIT

Answer»

Germination of seed includes all changes that take place from the time when dry, viable seed starts to grow when placed under suitable conditions of germination to the time when seedling becomes established on the substratum.

Necessary conditions for germination of seeds are-1). Moisture/water because without water seeds cant be alive. But excessive of water can damage the seed.2). Air to breath3). Warmth/sunlight because seeds cant be alive in too cold but also not in too warmth.
