The small intestine is the pathway for chyme. what else does it do? mixes food with gastric juices using layers of muscle absorbs water, salt, and minerals using villi produces vitamins and feces produces digestible-sized food for the stomach

The correct answer is- absorbs water, salt, and minerals using villi.

The small intestine is an important organ present in the gastrointestinal tract and responsible for the final digestion of food and also the absorption of essential nutrients ( such as minerals, vitamins, fats, sugars, and water) takes place. It is present between stomach and large intestine in the form of a twisted tube.

The absorption of water, salts, and minerals takes place using finger like filaments/ projections ( called villi), which come out from the inner lining of the small intestine in the jejunum and the ileum region.

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."
