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.

relative dating involves things like higher layers are most recent than rocks lower in the sequence. this can be extended to the known sequence of fossils. rocks containing rabbit fossils are later than those containing dinosaur fossils.  

absolute dating methods mainly use radioactive elements that have known rates of decay and produce recognizable products. for example potassium 40 decays to produce argon. once a rock has solidified the argon is trapped. by measuring the argon and potassium0 you can get an accurate number for the age.  

some other methods are good for archaeological ages. dendrochronology involves recognizing the sequence of tree rings. the orientation of magnetized particles in baked clay can be used to date a fire.

hope this .. .

if the hares very faster than they are now, and thus the lynx's hunting success rate drops because it will be harder to catch them, the rate that will change will be the pray-rate. the pray-rate will change because more hares will be able to survive, thus more individuals for reproduction, so the end result will be increasing population of hares.

the predator-rate will remain pretty much the same because there will be more than enough pray, but the hunting success rate is stagnant.
