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

Arte-miy333 [17]
The answer is x-linked recessive. It is apparent that the color blindness affects the males hence it's caused by a sex-linked recessive gene. Males have XY homologous chromosomes. The X sister chromosome has more genes than the Y sister chromosome, hence most males are hemizygous for sex linked genes. This means that even recessive genes on the X chromosome are likely to be expressed in males.

What is biogeography and what does it provide?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Biogeography- it is the geographic location and distribution of living organisms.
It provide evolution in many ways because organisms are not distributed evenly throughout the world, but related organisms are found in the same isolated parts of the world and this is not explained by climate.

At what ph is enzyme A working at its maximum rate
crimeas [40]
Enzymes are also known as  Biological catalysts. An enzyme working at its maximum possible rate, where the substrate concentration is in excess is <span>V max.

</span><span>The reaction is slow because the molecules are moving slowly and they will not often collide with the active site of an enzyme, so the binding of an enzyme and substrate is rare.</span>

The intermediate filaments of a neuron are also called __________
grigory [225]

answer: Neuro filaments

explanation:

Neurofilaments (NF) are intermediate filaments found in the cytoplasm of neurons. Together with microtubules and microfilaments, they form the neuronalcytoskeleton. They are believed to function primarily to provide structural support for axons and to regulate axon diameter, which influences nerve conduction velocity.

---------------- is the finest material can be blasted more than 20 kilometers into the atmosphere and carried much farther down
Ghella [55]

Pyroclastic materials are classified according to their size, measured in milli meters: dust (less than 0.6 mm [0.02 inch]), ash (fragments between 0.6 and 2 mm [0.02 to 0.08 inch]), cinders (fragments between 2 and 64 mm [0.08 and 2.5 inches], also known as lapilli), blocks (angular fragments greater than 64 mm), and bombs (rounded fragments greater than 64 mm).

The fluid nature of a pyroclastic flow is maintained by the turbulence of its internal gases. Both the incandescent pyroclastic particles and the rolling clouds of dust that rise above them actively liberate more gas. The expansion of these gases accounts for the nearly frictionless character of the flow as well as its great mobility and destructive power.

Pyroclastic flow, in a volcanic eruption, a fluidized mixture of hot rock fragments, hot gases, and entrapped air that moves at high speed in thick, gray-to-black, turbulent clouds that hug the ground. The temperature of the volcanic gases can reach about 600 to 700 °C (1,100 to 1,300 °F). The velocity of a flow often exceeds 100 km (60 miles) per hour and may attain speeds as great as 160 km (100 miles) per hour.
