yes, Muscularis  mucosa - The stomach and small intestine's mucosa are pulled into undulating folds by a thin layer of smooth muscle that is constantly tensed. The surface area that is available for digestion and absorption is significantly increased by these folds.

The submucosa is located directly beneath the mucosa, as its name suggests. It joins the underlying muscularis to the overlaying mucosa by way of a large layer of dense connective tissue. It has blood and lymphatic vessels (which carry nutrients that have been absorbed), as well as a few submucosal glands that secrete digestive juices. Additionally, it functions as a passageway for the submucosal plexus, a densely branched network of nerves.

These layers compress to encourage mechanical digestion, expose more of the food to the chemicals that aid in digestion, and transport the food along the canal.

Which events can cause an ecological disturbance? Select the three correct answers.
kvasek [131]

A, B and C are the events that will cause an ecological disturbance.

Rationale:

A. Introduction of a new species: When a new specie is introduced, it increases the competition in ecosystem with the native species for food, water, space and shelter. This affects the reproductive success of the native species and thus the dynamics of ecosystem.

B. Climate change: Climate change is different from a simple change of weather. The best example would be of Antarctica where the ice is melting fast due to the global warming. The native species find it harder to adapt to the warm temperatures.

C. Late spring snowstorm: Spring is the season where the plants grow and animals shed their fur. When snowstorms occur in this season they harm these plants and animals that live there.
