AI Thread Summary
To determine if a fluid secreted by an animal is a digestive juice, one would analyze its composition for the presence of acids, enzymes, and bacteria typically involved in digestion. If identified as a digestive juice, further tests could be conducted to assess its activity on various food substrates, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, to identify which compounds it digests. Techniques like chromatography or mass spectrometry could be employed to analyze the specific enzymes and their corresponding substrates. Understanding the fluid's pH and enzymatic activity would also provide insights into its digestive function. This investigation is crucial for comprehending the animal's digestive processes and overall physiology.

Suppose that you were studying the body functioning of particular animal, and found that the animal secreted a fluid into its alimentary tract.Given some of this fluid 1)How would you decide whether or nnot it was a digestive juice? 2) if you decide it was, how would you work out what compounds it was digesting??







:confused::confused::confused:I have totally no ideas,sorry.I just want to get some hints and coulld anyone tell me what the digestive juice is?

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
