When a person is experiencing heartburn, he or she feels a burning sensation in the throat and midchest. Think about thestructur

es of the digestive system. What most likely causes the burning sensation?The muscle at the end of the esophagus is not able to close, which allows stomach acid and digested food to go back upO into the esophagus.The villi in the small intestine are producing extra acid that is then concentrated at the pharynx.O The esophagus goes into muscle spasms while the salivary glands produce excess acidO Too much water absorption in the large intestine disrupts the pH of the digestive system, causing acid to reenter thestomach.

The correct option is this: THE MUSCLES AT THE END OF THE ESOPHAGUS IS NOT ABLE TO CLOSE, WHICH ALLOW STOMACH ACID AND DIGESTED FOOD TO GO BACK UP INTO THE ESOPHAGUS.

Heartburn is also called acid reflux and it occurs, when the sphincter muscle at the tail end of the esophagus relaxes when it ought not to, thus allowing stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus. Heartburn may be caused by some types of food, alcohol or drugs.

The difference in lipid and protein composition between the membranes of the endomembrane system is largely determined by the __
Maksim231197 [3]

The options to the given are:

A) The physical separation of most membranes from each other.

B) the transportation of membrane lipids among the endomembrane system by small  membrane vesicles.

C) The function of the Golgi apparatus in sorting and directing membrane components.

D) The modification of the membrane components once they reach their final  destination.

E) the synthesis of different lipids and proteins in each of the organelles of the  endomembrane system.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The difference in the lipids and proteins composition of the different membrane is different.

Different endomembrane system have different composition of the lipids and proteins in its membrane according to the function of he membrane.

The sorting and direction of the proteins is the function of golgi body. So, it is by the action of the golgi body that the distribution and the sorting of the protein molecules are done.

The protein once formed need to be modified and sorted before being functional into the organelles.

The genes for sex-linked traits are carried on either the X or Y chromosome. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a recessive, s
morpeh [17]
There is a 50% probability that the child will be a boy. If this is the case, he will inherit the X chromosome from his mother and the Y chromosome from his father. Since the woman has DMD, the boy will certainly inherit the disease, since he only has one X chromosome and it carries the disease. We know that both of the mother's X chromosomes carry the disease because since it is recessive, both of her chromosomes must have it in order for her to have it. 

There is also a 50% probability that the child is girl. If this is the case, she will inherit a normal X chromosome from her father and the disease-carrying X chromosome from her mother. Since the disease is recessive, she will not be affected by the disease, since she has one healthy X chromosome and one disease-carrying one. 

If the child is a girl, there is a 0% chance that she will have the disease (although she will be a carrier). 

If the child is a boy, there is a 100% chance that he will inherit the disease. 

The answer is D)

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Lynna [10]

By understanding DNA and gene expression, humans have been able to understand how genetic diseases are caused, therefore they have been able to devise gene therapy and other technologies to treat such disease. Second, the understanding has also allowed humans to devise plants that are resistant to pests and drought hence increasing crop yields.

A negative aspect of this understanding is the issue of bioterrorism. In the wrong hands, this technology can be used against society. The technology can be used to modify organisms to make them deliberately harmful to humans. Second is the issue of bioethics. This technology can be used to enhance humans and result to an ‘arms race’ between human races that can tear down the social fabric.
