B. Net movement in osmosis is from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. Net movement in diffusion occurs from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.
This is to prevent water loss by the trees. Under drought or dry conditions, plants may close their stomata to limit the amount of water that evaporates from their leaves a process called transpiration. In this process water diffuses through the stomata into the atmosphere, in a bid to preserve water plants may close their stomata, especially during very dry climates.
Answer:
The correct option is b. lower esophageal sphincter
Explanation:
The esophagus is the initial part of the digestive tract and its function is the transport of the alimentary bolus from the pharynx to the stomach, through the thorax and avoid the reflux thereof. It begins and ends in two sphincter structures, the upper esophageal sphincter and the lower esophageal sphincter, which separate it from the pharynx and stomach. The lower esophageal sphincter has two functions: relax during swallowing and prevent reflux of the gastric contents into the esophagus in the postdeglutory period. After swallowing, there is a relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, pressure dropping to levels similar to those of the gastric fundus, which allows the bolus to enter the stomach. This relaxation lasts a few seconds and is followed by a strong contraction that prevents backflow of food.
