Food being digested in the stomach is in a highly acidic environment. When the food is released from the stomach into the small

intestine, why is the environment no longer acidic?
A. Secretin increases the flow of bicarbonate ions from the pancreas into the small intestine to neutralize the stomach acid.
B. Trypsinogen is activated, thus neutralizing the stomach acid.
C. Bile salts from the gallbladder neutralize the stomach acid.
D. When pepsinogen activates pepsin, one result is the neutralization of stomach acid in the stomach.

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.

Isolation can be due to behavioral, geographical, or temporal barriers. <span>Speciation can take place in two general ways. A single species may change over time into a new form that is different enough to be considered a new species. This process is known as anagenesis. More commonly, a species may become split into two groups that no longer share the same gene pool. This process is known as cladogenesis. There are several ways in which anagenesis and cladogenesis may take place. In all cases, reproductive isolation occurs. Hope this helps! </span>

Describe how the different rates at which land and water are heated affect climate
VARVARA [1.3K]
For the answer to the question above,

Water absorbs vast amounts of energy. Likewise bodies of water release energy very slowly. Areas near water are usually milder. Organic materials (such as plants and animals) tend to absorb more energy. Unlike a desert that holds it. Thus air temp. in a forest is usually cooler than the temp. in a desert.

Since land and water heat at different temperatures, the effects of this process creates climates. For instance, warm weather and moisture from oceans can create hurricanes. I hope this helps
