<span>very acidic ph - stomach
mucociliary escalator - intestines
cerumen and sebum - ear
lysozyme - tears and saliva
keratin and tightly packed cells - skin
</span>
The correct answer is "mucociliary escalator intestines".
The mucociliary escalator is a mechanism that belongs to the bronchi, not the intestines. The mucociliary escalator is a mechanism of self-clearing where cilium, cilia and mucus work together to expel any material that's solid, or not too fluid or gaseous, including pathogens. From the main bronchi to the alveoli there is a moist lining produced by the specific present epithelium. This epithelium presents cilia. The cilia are embedded in mucus. The mucus is what helps in trapping any material that's solid, or not too fluid or gaseous, including pathogens. After these are trapped so that they don't progress to the alveoli, the cilia move in such a way that push the particles again to the exterior of the bronchi, like an escalator.

oee [108]

Milk is converted to yogurt under certain conditions when the microorganisms in the milk produce acid. Which of these processes would you expect to be key in the production of yogurt?

a. Photosynthesis

b. Lactic acid fermentation

c. Krebs cycle

d. Alcoholic fermentation

Answer:

b. Lactic acid fermentation

Explanation:

Lactic acid fermentation occurs when pyruvate formed by glycolysis is reduced into lactate under the anaerobic conditions. The NADH serves as an electron donor for the reduction of pyruvate into lactic acid. Lactic acid bacteria are the anaerobic bacteria that ferment the milk sugar lactose into lactic acid. This converts the milk into yogurt. <em>Lactobacillus, Streptococcus salivarius</em>, etc. are mostly responsible for the conversion of milk into yogurt.

In 3-4 sentences, explain how Waste Management is contributing to conservation efforts.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Recycling saves energy, helps keep materials out of landfills and incinerators, and provides raw materials for the production of new products. It converts organic materials, like food waste and yard trimmings, into a valuable soil amendment that contributes to soil health and keeps organic wastes out of landfills.

Explanation:

Recycling saves energy, helps keep materials out of landfills and incinerators, and provides raw materials for the production of new products. When waste cannot be prevented, recycling is the next best option. Recycling is more than extending the life of landfills. It is about making the best use of the resources we have available and conserving those resources for future generations. It is about conserving water, energy, land and raw materials.

Composting is recycling for organics. It converts organic materials, like food waste and yard trimmings, into a valuable soil amendment that contributes to soil health and keeps organic wastes out of landfills.
