Answer:

stomach

Explanation:

Answer:

1. Mouth

4. Stomach

Explanation:

  • The mouth and the stomach are both sites of mechanical and chemical digestion of food.

Digestion in the Mouth:

  • In the mouth, the teeth grind and mash the food into smaller pieces that aid in proper digestion.
  • Saliva produced in the mouth contains the carbohydrate digesting enzyme, salivary amylase.

Digestion in the Stomach:

  • In the stomach, protein is mainly digested by the combined action of low pH, protease enzymes like pepsin and the contraction of the muscles of the stomach.
  • Pepsin breaks down protein in the presence of stomach acids.
  • The muscles of the stomach contract and relax and aid in mixing the enzymes and acid together, consequently, aiding in digestion.

En los alérgicos, a partir del segundo contacto con el alérgeno cuando se produce la reacción alérgica. ¿Cómo podrías explicarlo
dem82 [27]

Answer:

La segunda exposición desencadena la fase de 'respuesta' asociada a la reacción alérgica  

Explanation:

La alergia se puede considerar como una respuesta desmedida del sistema inmune cuando un individuo entra en contacto con ciertas sustancias que son inocuas para la mayoría de la población, pero que en personas alérgicas desencadenan fuertes reacciones de hipersensibilidad. La alergia tiene dos fases conocidas como fase de sensibilización y fase de respuesta. La primera fase de sensibilización es donde el individuo entra en contacto con los 'antígenos' del alérgeno, lo cual provoca que el individuo genere anticuerpos IgE los cuales combaten al alérgeno (el sistema inmune considera que esta sustancia es potencialmente dañina), mediante la generación de anticuerpos de IgE que se unen a receptores de células del sistema inmune (eosinófilos, basófilos y mastocitos). La segunda fase de respuesta se produce cuando el individuo entra de nuevo en contacto con el alérgeno. Durante el segundo contacto, los antígenos del alérgeno interactúan con anticuerpos específicos de IgE que se encuentran sobre la superficie de células del sistema inmune, desencadenando la degranulación de estas células (mastocitos) y la consecuente liberación de mediadores químicos de la alergia tales como, por ejemplo, histamina, los cuales son responsable de los síntomas típicos de la alergia (tos, estornudos, picor, enrojecimiento de ojos, urticaria, inflamación, etc.).

Imagine that a researcher is examining the positioning of synaptic clefts in a region of the nervous system of adult mice. In on
Setler [38]
This is likely a mutant mouse (as synaptic clefts are typically 10 to 20 nm wide). Given that neurotransmitters act over short distances, this mouse may demonstrate delayed responses to stimuli, or no responses at all.

what is the significance of diffusion and osmosis in living organism ?give one example in support of your answer​
olasank [31]

Answer:

Diffusion is the process in which molecules and ions move from a region of high concentration to low concentration. Its also how cells transport waste out of the cell and nutrients into it hence being very crucial. Diffusion also occurs without the expenditure of extra energy using a procedure known as passive transport. (Osmosis is a form of diffusion but deals with water exclusively).

Examples of where diffusion is important;

In the intestines - Digested food molecules such as amino acids and glucose move down the concentration gradient from the intestine into the bloodstream. Wastes such as carbon dioxide or urea travel via diffusion from the body's cells to the bloodstream.

Osmosis plays a major role in living organisms. It aids in the transportation of nutrients from cells to cells and also helps to remove the waste's metabolic products from the cell. The purification of blood in the kidneys is also dependent on the process of osmosis.
