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.

Use the following scenario to answer the next following question(s):
lesantik [10]

Answer:

eutrophication

Explanation:

Eutrophication refers to a situation in which the aquatic environment becomes excessively enriched with nutrients. This leads to algal blooms in aquatic habitats such as lakes. These nutrients come from Fertilisers used in farming, which find their way into water bodies through run-off thereby increasing nutrient levels.

Excess nutrients causes phytoplankton to grow and reproduce at an alarming rate resulting in algal blooms. This bloom disrupts the balance in the ecosystem leading to many problems.

The algae may end up using all the oxygen in the water, causing oxygen shortage for aquatic life. Some of the algae may die, their decay may lead to further oxygen depletion. As oxygen is depleted, aquatic organisms may also begin to die.

MrRa [10]
True.

<span>The trachea is about 10 cm long and it has an approximate diameter of 2 cm. It is located anterior to </span>(in front of) the esophagus and posterior to (behind) the isthmus of the thyroid. The right and left main bronchi are branches of the trachea. This division occurs at the level, or just below the level, of the sternal angle, also known as the manubriosternal joint.
