Answer:

<h3>Oesophagus</h3>

Explanation:

  • The oesophagus is the region of the alimentary canal where the food passes without the absorption of nutrients. In oesophagus, we find peristaltic movement which is basically rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the oesophagus in order to facilitate the easy passage for the food to pass from mouth to stomach.
  • The oesophagus is a muscular tube which measures about 8 inches long.
  • Mucosal lining lines the oesophagus.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Facilitated diffusion

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation, involving the Electron transport chain and Chemiosmosis is the third stage of cellular respiration. The main purpose of the ETC is to build an electrochemical (electrical and concentration) gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. It does this by using energy to pump protons (H+ ions) from the matrix to the inter-membrane space of the mitochondria.

Facilitated diffusion, also known as passive transport through channels, is a form of facilitated transport involving a passive movement of molecules along their concentration gradient, through channels called membrane proteins.

During Chemiosmosis of Oxidative phosphorylation, protons (H+) flow back down their concentration gradient (from inter-membrane space to matrix) due to the chemiosmotic gradient that has been formed in ETC. However, hydrogen ions (H+) cannot pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane except through an enzyme (protein) found in the inner mitochondrial membrane called ATP synthase. This protein acts as a machine powered by the force of the H+ diffusing through it, down an electrochemical gradient. This movement of H+ via ATP synthase further catalyzes the conversion of ADP to ATP.

It is an example of facilitated diffusion because H+ ions are diffusing across the inner mitochondrial membrane (from inter-membrane space to matrix) via a protein channel or membrane protein called ATP synthase.

In an ecosystem, a deer consumes grass. What percentage of energy will the deer acquire from the grass? 0. 1% 1% 10% 100%.
katen-ka-za [31]

In an ecosystem, the energy is transferred between the organisms participating in the food webs from producers and consumers.

The percentage of energy transferred to the deer after feeding on the grass is 10%.

The 10% law of the energy states that:

1. The food chain at each trophic level passes or transmits only 10% of the energy and 90% of the energy is lost as heat.

2. The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases, such that the producers if consuming the 100 J of energy, the deers or primary consumers at the first trophic level will have only 10% of the energy.

Thus, the deer will possess only 10% of the energy at each trophic level, following the 10% law.

The correct answer is Option C.

To know more about 10% law, refer to the following link:
