The pH of stomach secretion is low. This means it is acidic. Too much production can corrode the stomach wall. Therefore in such a situation drinking a basic solution with a higher pH neutralizes some of the stomach acidic secretions hence relieving the effect;

Acid + Base - Salt + Water

77julia77 [94]
Hi there!

The example of the meadowlarks is an example of behavioral isolation. This is because the mating call is a behavior the birds exhibit. This helps the birds to find their correct mate because though the birds look similar, they are not able to produce offspring.
