The esophagus is a muscular tube connecting the throat (pharynx) with the stomach. The esophagus is about 8 inches long, and is lined by moist pink tissue called mucosa. The esophagus runs behind the windpipe (trachea) and heart, and in front of the spine.

MAVERICK [17]

Addition of an enzyme, for example amylase will increase the rate at which the starch is broken down into glucose. Amylase functions by rupturing the disaccharide bonds between glucose molecules releasing these into solution. If iodine had been added as an indicator of the presense of starch, the color will fade from brown to very light in a short time.

Hydras and jellyfish both live in a freshwater lake that is slowly being acidified by the runoff from a chemical plant built ups

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Jellyfish

Explanation:

The mode of reproduction that is used by hydra to produce offsprings is asexual whereas the jellyfish is capable of reproducing sexually.
When an organism reproduces asexually then the rate at which the offspring are produced is faster, however, there is a lack of genetic diversity as the offsprings are produced from a single parent.
However, in case of sexual reproduction there is more variation and hence in case of a changing environment such as acidification of a lake by a runoff, there is a better chance of jellyfish to survive as it reproduced by sexual reproduction and thus has the ability to give rise to an offspring which will carry the trait to be more resistant.

Allison lives in San Bernardino, CA. Her sister Tonya lives in Frazier Park, CA, and her friend Sarah lives in Palm Springs, CA.

The answer is:

B. Palm Springs is closer to the focus than Frazier Park.

We know this because of the order in which everyone felt the earthquake

Alison felt it first, in San Bernardino

Sarah felt it second, in Palm Springs

Tonya felt it third, in Frazier Park

Since Sarah felt the earthquake before Tanya did, we can determine that Palm Springs is closer to the focus than Frazier Park.
