Answer:

Point of attachment for leaves and other shoot parts

Explanation:

Potato tubers are special forms of stems which are usually swollen due to the food they store. Since the potato tubers is a stem, it possesses all parts of a stem including nodes and internodes.

The nodes are the eyes of the potato which are arranged spirally around the tuber. The space between each eyes is the internode. Eyes or nodes of a potato are axillary buds which contains small buds at each site. These buds can form normally shoots (leaves) which subsequently give rise to a branch.

That's why each eyes of a potato has a leaf scar.

The correct answer is: Heartburn often results when the gastroesophageal sphincter fails to close properly.

The gastroesophageal sphincter is a muscle located at the bottom of the esophagus that has to be relaxed in order to allow food to flow down into the stomach. After it contracts (tightens), the food and the stomach acid can’t flow back up into the esophagus.

When the gastroesophageal sphincter fails to close properly acid reflux occurs and causes the heartburn.
