Does anyone know what the answer to that question about the alimentary canal absorbing water??

there is one i didnt write (antibodies are present so it is safer)

cancer and diseases can be transmitted
Cancer can't be transmitted during breastfeeding, it's not even contagious.
But I don't think they'd deduct marks for that, since knowledge about cancer isn't in our syllabus.

Hmm, for the small intestine one where glucose was gone..
It could be both respiration and digestion right?
All cells respire, and glucose is required for that...
What about the amnion and amniotic fluid..
I wrote that they protect the baby from bumps and knocks, protect it from pathogens and keep it at a constant temperature thus homeostasis.
And on the plant diagram..
B was stomata..
C was the palisade layer, and thus photosynthesised.
And D was an air space?

And for the proteins and DNA..
I wrote proteins for growth and development, although I know another function which I didn't write.
And for DNA I wrote what is was and that it contains the coding for making different proteins..

Overall, I only lacked information on the proteins, which would lose me 1 or 2 marks.
I also think I may have explained D wrong..

As for the table where it gave you about water..
I put that the colon absorbs the most water.
And the duodenum, small intestine (From table) gives out the most :)
Proteins are used for making enzymes. Even antibodies are proteins.

Mostly it can cause the infected gene may be transmited to the baby and reproduces inside.

N o, Absorbs more water is small intestines

Secrete more water is gastric juice aka inner walls of the stomach...

Also,

The question was proteins in plants people. I said for chlorphyll production because chlorophyll is made from proteins and for amino acids for growth by phloem transportation.

DNA codes for a protein and stores genetic information from gen. to gen.

The table showed that the small intestine gave out the most, and the colon absorbs most, via knowledge.. You had to note the different headings..

Yes but it asks for the organ or w.e that secretes it and that's gastric juice with the most water content and gastric juice is excted by stomach.. IT ASKED FOR PART/ORGAN.

By knowledge notes, Small intestine absorbs 20-30dm^3 of water but colon 0.3-0.5 dm^3

So it's small intestines and stomach wall.

I don't want to stop arguing because i have no motive to fight or argue in a rude manner to you, Were arguing in a mature way, I'm telling you colon is wrong.

For absorbing more I put Large Intestine and for secretes more I put stomach.
