A student is presented with a model of a digestive system and is asked to remove one structure (small or large organ) that will have the largest impact on decreasing chemical digestion. Which structure should the student remove

Small intestine

Explanation:

Digestion is the process of breaking down food molecules into simpler and usable forms by the body cells. The process of digestion involved the mechanical aspect and chemical aspect. The mechanical one deals with using physical means like chewing to break down the food particles.

However, the chemical one deals with the usage of chemically-secreted enzymes to work on the food molecules. Lots of digestive organs are involved in this chemical digestion, but, the most of chemical digestion takes place in the SMALL INTESTINE. The small intestine is where most of the chemical digestion occurs including absorption.

Hence, according to this question, the student should remove the SMALL INTESTINE because it will have the largest impact on decreasing chemical digestion.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.

i would say it is
