Accommodation in the eye lens is the process of adjusting its shape to focus on objects at different distances. This adjustment is controlled by the ciliary muscles. When focusing on nearby objects, these muscles contract, thickening the lens. For distant objects, the muscles relax, flattening the lens, ensuring clear vision at varying distances.

Fermentation is a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes. In biochemistry, it is narrowly defined as the extraction of energy from carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen.

1. The average life of red blood cells in the human body is 120 days. This is the time it takes from the formation of red blood cells until they flow in the blood. Red blood cells are made in the bone marrow and then they are shed into the blood. While flowing in the blood, red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and carry carbon dioxide from the rest of the body to the lungs.
