Biology

arlik [135]4 years ago

The inside of a stomach is coated with a lining that protects it.
This lining is made up of cells called epithelial cells. They coat the stomach with a mucus that neutralizes the acid.

The mucus contains bi-carbonate (a base), similar to baking soda.
Acid + Base = water and salt
So, that’s why taking tums or swallowing baking soda water helps an upset stomach.

When your stomach is upset, it means there’s too much acid. Taking a tums neutralizes that overproduction eating also helps to absorb the excess acid.

Stells [14]
The correct option is B.
The area described in the question given above is desert. Most plants in the desert either have small leaves or no leave at all, in order to regulate the amount of water that is lost to the atmosphere via evaporation of water from the leaves. Most deserts are found within the latitude 30 degree north and latitude  30 degree south. Some deserts can also be found around mountain. The temperate range in desert is quite wide. During the day, the temperature may be as high as 50 degree Celsius and the temperature may drop below zero degree Celsius in the night.

How does research into natural selection and traits help you understand why some butterflies have coloration that looks like the
QveST [7]

Answer/Explanation:

Natural selection - over time - selects for traits that improve fitness. A butterfly with wing coloration that looks like a hungry owl would certainly be a deterrent to their natural predators, such as smaller birds. This is because the owl is the predator of the smaller birds, and their instinct is to avoid the owl.

If a mutation arose that resulting in coloration that looked like an owl, (or at least slightly menacing) this would be beneficial to the butterfly, as it would be more camouflaged from predators. This means it would be more likely to reach reproductive age and pass the mutation onto its offspring, who would also have a competitive advantage.

Over time, this would lead to a population of butterflies with coloration that looks more and more owl-like .
