Epiglottis
The epiglotis is what allows you to swallow food without inhaling it. It acts as a gateway between the digestive and respiratory systems
Is this a question? I’m pretty sure this is not one
Answer:
Trophic level
Consumer
Producer
Explanation:
All living organisms require energy for their life processes, which they obtain by taken in food. In an ecosystem, this food is derived when organisms feed on each other. This process that eventually leads to a flow of energy within organisms is called FOOD CHAIN.
A food chain or food web always begins with a unique set of organisms called PRODUCERS. Producers are autotrophs capable of harvesting light energy from the sun and use it to produce their food (chemical) in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Other organisms called HETEROTROPHS feed on these producers to derive energy. In ecology, they are called CONSUMERS. Other consumers feed on the previous ones also to get energy.
Hence, each step of the food chain is occupied by organisms that obtain and store energy by feeding on another organism. This step is called TROPHIC LEVEL.
In a nutshell, a PRODUCER (usually plants) starts the food chain/web due to its photosynthetic ability. This producer gets eaten by an organism called CONSUMER and in the process, the energy and nutrient stored in the producers flows to the consumer. Another consumers feeds on the previous one and the energy keeps flowing. Each step of the food chain occupied by an organism that stores and transfers this energy is called TROPHIC LEVEL.

Answer:
DNP produces the loss of the proton gradient (i.e., the energy of the proton gradient is dissipated in the form of heat instead to produce ATP)
Explanation:
2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) acts to shuttle H+ ions across cellular membranes, bypassing the ATP synthase used by mitochondria to generate ATP during cellular respiration. Since DNP is able to bypass ATP synthase, this compound uncouples the phosphorylation of ADP by the ATP synthase from the process of oxidation (i.e., transport of electrons). For example, in muscle cells, DNP may be used to shuttle calcium ions (Ca +) from mitochondrial stores, and free intracellular Ca+ ions are evidenced to produce muscle contraction.
