Secretin increases the flow of bicarbonate ions from the pancreas into the small intestine to neutralize stomach acid.

Gastric acid regulation, pancreatic bicarbonate modulation, and osmoregulation are the three primary roles of secretin. Pancreatic fluid stimulation and bicarbonate secretion are two of secretin's main physiological effects.

Peptide hormones released by endocrine cells in the digestive system include secretin and CCK. While CCK enhances the synthesis and secretion of bile juice and pancreatic enzymes, Secretin stimulates the release of water and bicarbonate ions from the pancreas.

A pancreatic fluid that is high in bicarbonate is secreted when secretin is present. By interacting with pancreatic ductal cells, secretin enters the bloodstream or intestinal lumen and increases the production of bicarbonate, which lowers the pH of the gastric chyme as it enters the small intestine.

To learn more about the small intestine refer to:

Why would a diverse community be more resistant to disease, predation, and invasion
xenn [34]
A diverse community would be more resistant because firstly, the different animals can build immunity to the other animals diseases and sometimes only certain species will be effected by a certain disease. Instead of everything being wiped out, only a small part of the community will.

Hope this helped!

1. What are three things that water variability affects for us?
IRINA_888 [86]
1. Drought period - in time periods where there is more precipitation there is more water availability, and when there's not there isn't.
Floods - when there are floods there is much more water available.
Population density - in places with more population there is a greater need for water supply, while in places where there is lesser people, the water supply can be smaller.
2. The land, air, and water are heated each day by the sunlight. The heat produced by the sun that hits the earth as the earth rotates is then part kept by the atmosphere that doesn't permeate all of that heating energy.
3. By evaporation. As the sun heats the ocean, there is evaporation. As the ocean moves around with its tides there is also loss of water to the air. Also by the waves and winds there is water that's lost to the air.
4. Part of that vapour will be reabsorbed by the ocean because it cools and precipitates into the ocean. Other part of it is taken with the wind to land or to upper spheres of the atmosphere.
 5. Part is reabsorbed but other part isn't. The other part is taken by the wind. As a gradient, there is less water in the air then in the ocean, keeping it above the ocean.
6. There is more water in the oceans then on the land. Water remains in the air on average about 9-10 days.
7. --------
8. An average American family uses about 300 gallons of water.
9. About 22%.
10. About 27%.

4. In cats, a gene for coat color is sex-linked. Cats homozygous for allele A have yellow
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

You can get 1/4 tortoise female; 1/4 black female; 1/4 yellow male; 1/4 black male.

IT IS NOT possible to obtain a tortoise-shell male primarily because to have tortoise shell one has to be heterozygous. In case of males, they are hemizyogous so they only get one chromosome with the gene because they have XY and we know this disease is linked on X chromosome because different combinations give us different colors.

I say they are hemizygous because For example, most of the genes of the X chromosome and Y chromosome in human males are hemizygous since males have only one X chromosome (and one Y chromosome) (unlike females that has two X chromosomes).
