The body breaks down food into nutrient molecules during . digestion absorption salivation peristalsis

The answer is Digestion.

Explanation:

During digestion, enzymes in our body are used to break down large food molecules into smaller molecules for a better absorption. For example, amylase break down carbohydrate, protease break down protein and lipase break down fat.

mendel's first law states that during the formation of reproductive cells , pairs of hereditary factors for a specific trait separate so that offspring receive one factor from each parent.

explanation:

answer-

the statement that f(x) = |x+a| + b has exactly one x-intercept is sometimes correct.

solution-

it solely depends on b, whether the function will have one or two or zero x intercept.

this plot of the given function, f(x) = |x+a| + b will be the basic absolute value graph i.e v shape, with vertex translated to (-a, b), instead of origin.

1-   if b is zero, the graph will have exactly one x-intercept, at x= -a

2- if b is positive, the whole graph will be above the x-axis, hence it will have no x-intercepts.

3- if b is negative, the graph will be below the x-axis, hence it will have two x-intercepts.

∴ the statement is sometimes true.
