The answer to the given question will be that the muscles that guard the entrances and exits of the internal passage are known as sphincter (circular muscles).

  • Due to their structure and controllability, skeletal circular muscles differ from their smooth muscle counterparts.
  • The muscularis mucosa, which is mostly found in the stomach, is composed of smooth muscle.
  • The longitudinal layer shortens the tract while the circular muscle layer in the muscularis externa prevents food from moving backward.The human body contains at least 50 or 60 different types of sphincters.
  • Some are quite small, like the many precapillary sphincters that line the circulatory system's blood vessels.
  • Lower esophageal sphincter (LES), pyloric sphincter (PS), ileocecal sphincter (ICS), and internal sphincter are the four different smooth muscle sphincters found in the GI system (IAS).

Hence, the answer is that the muscles that guard the entrances and exits of the internal passage are known as sphincter (circular muscles).

What is the primary product of light-independent reactions?
Alina [70]

The correct answers are;

A.) High energy sugars

A) ATP

The light-independent (dark) reactions are chemical reactions of photosynthesis which occurs within the stoma in plant chloroplast. These reactions use the products of light-dependent reactions which are ATP and NADPH with some enzymes (such as RuBisCO) to carry out its processes. Carbon dioxide and other compounds are converted to produce high energy sugars (glucose) which is used by the plant.

Glycolysis is the cellular degradation of the simple sugar (glucose) to produce pyruvic acid (also known as pyruvate), and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is used as an energy source.

Lesechka [4]

No their babies won't look alike.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Both the couples mentioned here i.e. Sally - Harry and Emily - Ken are both identical twins. So they have similar pairs of genetic setup. This was possible because they developed from same zygote.

But during gametogenesis, crossing over and independent assortment occurs which brings about variation in genetic setup among the offspring. And it's very less probable that same crossing over will occur between the gametes of these couples. So, their offsprings won't look same.
