Explain in detail the process of digestion and absorption that occurs in the small intestine. Provide a detailed description of how different types of nutrients are taken up by intestinal epithelial cells that line the gut. How does the brush border behave for different types of nutrients and how are they transported to the liver and the bloodstream following absorption?

Select all the correct answers. which statements fail to meet the requirements of a scientific claim? 1 even though evidence indicates that the solar system's planets follow elliptical paths, copernicus's model involving circular orbits is true. 2 the evidence supporting newton's laws of motion was accurate in newton's time, but the universe operates differently today. 3 flowers that reflect the most ultraviolet light are more likely to attract bees and other pollinators than flowers that reflect less ultraviolet light. 4 in the final 100 meters of a 10,000-meter race, an athlete's speed is more strongly related to anaerobic efficiency than to aerobic efficiency.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
