Answer:
In anatomical directional terminology, the esophagus is <u>posterior</u> to the mouth (option d).
Explanation:
The esophagus is a tubular organ that is part of the digestive system and its function is to carry food from the mouth to the stomach. The anatomical relationship of the proximal end of the esophagus, with respect to the mouth, is posterior and inferior, its distal end also being located above the stomach.
This anatomical relationship allows the direction of food movement to be mouth → esophagus → stomach.
A is yours answer I think
The correct answer is option a. true.
The fossil fuels, including coal and oil are present very deep inside the earth. In the carbon cycle, only fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide in the organic material takes place. This cycle does not involve the recycling of the fossil fuels.
The burning of the fossil fuels directly release carbon dioxide and other carbon compound in the atmosphere, which was not involved in the cycle when it was present deep beneath the earth and ocean. Hence, the burning of fossil fuels increases the amount of carbon in the carbon cycle.
Why temperature affects heart rate in ectothermic organisms? If the temperature is within the optimal range for enzyme activity more ATP will be produced and the heart will beat faster due to increased metabolic activity and energy availability.
