Answer:
The correct answer to the question: Which of the folowing structures would be considered an accessory organ to the digestive system and NOT part of the alimentary canal?, would be: A: Pancreas.
Explanation:
The accesory organs to the digestive systems are defined as organs that in some part play a role in the entire process of digestion of food, but are not directly a part of the digestive tract itself. As such, the pancreas, though resposible for secreting components that are essential to the process of absorption of nutrients, and management of them, is not part of the digestive system and fufills tasks outside of the purpose of the digestive system, which is, to manage the digestion, absorption and excretion of nutrients and foodstuffs.
Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment.
Answer:
b. cause an increase in blood pH.
Explanation:
Carbonic anhydrases are zinc-containing enzymes that catalyze the reversible reaction of conversion between CO2 and bicarbonates (carbon dioxide hydration and bicarbonate dehydration). The conversion of bicarbonate to CO2 facilitates its entry into the cell. On the other hand, the conversion of CO2 to bicarbonate helps keep the CO2 inside the cell.
This enzyme is important in all living organisms for maintenance of acid-base balance (regulates pH ). For example, carbonic anhydrases lowers pH in the stomach by producing an acid.
If the organism has no natural predators then that organism can start to overpopulate the habitat and use up valuable resources that other organisms, who DO have natural predators, need to survive and repopulate.
