Global warming has been linked to a decrease in the

(a) rate of carbon dioxide production

(b) size of the polar ice caps

(d) rate of species extinction.

Answer:

The correct answer is option (b) size of polar ice caps.

Global warming refers to the gradual rise in the temperature of the earth. It is due to the increase in the green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and others which trap the sun's heat in the atmosphere and increase the temperature causing the green house effect.

Global warming has numerous effects. A few of them have been listen below-

(1) It causes the change in the climate showing extreme weather conditions due to increase in the average temperature.

(2) It results in a higher rate of extinction of animals and causing disturbance in the ecosystem.

(3) It causes the melting of the ice caps resulting in decrease in the size of the ice caps. Arctic sea ice decline is the result of it showing increase in the sea level.

Thus, global warming results in the decrease in the size of the polar ice caps.

What is the valve that controls the entrance to the stomach and prevents backflow to the esophagus?

xenn [34]

Answer:

Lower esophageal sphincter

Explanation:

The biological valves are the muscular structures composed of the smooth muscles which form thick tubular structure to allow the controlled movement of any material through it. The valves in the digestive system are known as the sphincters.

The sphincters control the unidirectional movement of the eaten food, chyme and the bolus in the digestive tract.

A sphincter is present at the lower portion of the oesophagus (food pipe) which contracts to prevent the backflow of the food from the stomach and since the sphincter is present at the lower side of the oesophagus, therefore, is known as the lower esophagal sphincter.

Thus, Lower esophageal sphincter is correct.
