Answer:
The thumb bone is part of the appendicular skeleton, while the sternum is part of the axial skeleton. Therefore, the correct answer to the above question is option b.
Explanation:
The human body is considered to have 206 types of bones. The skeleton system is considered to be the basic structure of the body. The whole skeleton system is comprised of bones. The whole skeleton system is divided into two reason which are appendicular skeleton and axial skeleton.
Axial skeleton consists of bones which are axial in nature and helps the human body to stand firm and straight on the ground. The “appendicular skeleton” consists of bones which are other than axial bones like hands, fingers, feet etc.
Answer:
6 thymine, 4 guanine. 4 cytosine
Explanation:
Adenine pairs with thymine, so you need 6 of each
Cytosine matches with guanine, but the total of nucleotides is 20, so
6(adenine)+6(thymine)=12
20-12=8
8= 4(guanine)+4(cytosine)
Food starts to move through your GI tract when you eat. When you swallow, your tongue pushes the food into your throat. A small flap of tissue, called the epiglottis, folds over your windpipe to prevent choking and the food passes into your esophagus.
Esophagus. Once you begin swallowing, the process becomes automatic. Your brain signals the muscles of the esophagus and peristalsis begins.
Lower esophageal sphincter. When food reaches the end of your esophagus, a ringlike muscle—called the lower esophageal sphincter —relaxes and lets food pass into your stomach. This sphincter usually stays closed to keep what’s in your stomach from flowing back into your esophagus.
Stomach. After food enters your stomach, the stomach muscles mix the food and liquid with digestive juices. The stomach slowly empties its contents, called chyme, into your small intestine.
Small intestine. The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream. As peristalsis continues, the waste products of the digestive process move into the large intestine.
Large intestine. Waste products from the digestive process include undigested parts of food, fluid, and older cells from the lining of your GI tract. The large intestine absorbs water and changes the waste from liquid into stool. Peristalsis helps move the stool into your rectum.
Rectum. The lower end of your large intestine, the rectum, stores stool until it pushes stool out of your anus during a bowel movement.
Answer:
When plant cells are surrounded with salt water, the water inside the plant moves from where there is more water (less salt) through the cell wall and membrane to the outside where there is less water (more salt).
