Nondigestible materials, such as fiber, are broken down primarily in the large intestine by gut bacteria through fermentation. This process produces short-chain fatty acids and gases like methane and hydrogen, which can be absorbed or excreted by the body.

What is a nondigestible plant polysaccharide called?
A nondigestible plant polysaccharide is called a dietary fiber. These are carbohydrates that cannot be broken down by human digestive enzymes, and they play important roles in supporting digestive health and overall well-being.
What reabsorbs water from nondigestible material?
The large intestine, specifically the colon, reabsorbs water from nondigestible material that passes through the digestive system. This helps to form solid feces by removing excess water and maintaining the body's hydration balance.
Could 235U decay into an isotope of 236Pb?

What is the nondigestible part of certain foods that aids in moving food through the digestive track?
The nondigestible part of certain foods that aids in moving food through the digestive tract is fiber. Fiber helps to add bulk to stool and facilitate smooth movement through the intestines, promoting regular bowel movements and overall digestive health.
Why do fungi and bacteria decay materials?
Fungi and bacteria eat things. Decay is caused by the growth and reproduction of these decay organisms, which are eating the material which is decaying. You don't see individual bacteria at work because they are microscopic, and you don't clearly see fungi at work, because most of what they are doing is hidden, but you see the result, in the form of decay.
What are radioactive decay hotspots?
It is an area that is contaminated with radioactive materials.
Where can one buy Urban Decay eyeliner?
Urban Decay eyeliner can be purchased directly from their site or you can buy it from Amazon as well. Urban Decay eyeliner comes in a multitude of colors and from as low as $14.00 up to $25.00. Urban Decay eyeliner is praised for its ease of use when being applied.
What on Earth can be reduced but never goes away completely?
Radioactive materials decay over half lifes but they never actually dissapear.
What is the mathematical meaning of decay?
To pass gradually from a sound, prosperous, or perfect state, to one of imperfection, adversity, or dissolution; to waste away; to decline; to fail; to become weak, corrupt, or disintegrated; to rot; to perish; as, a tree decays; fortunes decay; hopes decay., To cause to decay; to impair., To destroy., Gradual failure of health, strength, soundness, prosperity, or of any species of excellence or perfection; tendency toward dissolution or extinction; corruption; rottenness; decline; deterioration; as, the decay of the body; the decay of virtue; the decay of the Roman empire; a castle in decay., Destruction; death., Cause of decay.
Do all atoms have beta decay?
No. Many atoms do not decay at all. Many that do undergo alpha decay. A few atoms emit neutron radiation.
What element was first produced as a decay product of ununpentium?
Decay products of ununpentium are ununtrium isotopes.
What is mean by prefabrication?
*Prefabrication* is the practice of assembling components of a structure in a factory or othermanufacturing site, and transporting complete assemblies or sub-assemblies to the construction site where the structure is to be located. The term is used to distinguish this process from the more conventional construction practice of transporting the basic materials to the construction site where all assembly is carried out.
Does the process of radioactive decay fall under the study of chemistry or physics or is it a combination of both?
Radioactive decay falls under chemistry, because the chemical properties of the substance are changed during radioactive decay.
Is hemoglobin biotic?
Hemoglobin is an iron containing protein. It's function is to carry oxygen to the tissues. It also brings back carbon dioxide to the lungs to be expelled from the body. In the broad sense that biotic means pertaining to life, then hemoglobin is just that. biotic materials are any material that originates from living organisms. Most such materials contain carbon and are capable of decay.
Which manufacturers make belts and wallets out of materials other than leather?
The best place to find alternative material anything, including belts and wallets would be at the Etsy site. They have everything! Other than that, there are Vegan belt makers that use alternative materials.
Is it true that the half-life of a radioactive isotope decreases as the isotopes decay?
no, halflife is a constant for each isotope's decay process.
What types of materials are frequently used on construction sites?
Concrete, building insulation, plaster, gypsum board, ceramic tiles, wood planks, carpet, paint, bricks and mortar are all materials you can find on a construction site depending on how far along the project is to completion.
