This isnt supposed to be an easy way to get your answers, this is supposed to help you find them
To find the length of the long continuous tube that is the digestive tract, we can use our knowledge of human anatomy. The digestive tract, also known as the gastrointestinal tract, starts at the mouth and ends at the anus.
To approximate the length, we can break it down into different segments.
1. The mouth to the stomach: This length can vary, as it depends on factors such as body size and height. On average, it is about 30 cm.
2. The small intestine: This is the longest part of the digestive tract and is where most of the digestion and absorption of nutrients take place. On average, the length of the small intestine is approximately 6 meters (6,000 cm).
3. The large intestine: This is the last part of the digestive tract before reaching the anus. It is responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes, and eliminating waste products. The length of the large intestine is about 1.5 meters (1,500 cm) on average.
Now, let's add up the lengths:
30 cm (mouth to stomach) + 6,000 cm (small intestine) + 1,500 cm (large intestine) = 7,530 cm
Therefore, the length of the long continuous tube that is the digestive tract is approximately 7,530 centimeters.
Now, converting this to meters, we divide by 100:
7,530 cm ÷ 100 = 75.3 meters
So, the correct answer is A. 3 meters.
