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.

How is nitrogen from the atmosphere the abiotic part of the ecosystem converted in to the biotic part of the ecosystem in organi
AveGali [126]

Solution:

Nitrogen is important because, it helps us grow crops, and it produces grass for animal. It comes from lightning and is named nitrogen fixation

By which free nitrogen (N2) is extracted from the atmosphere and converted (fixed) into nitrogen compounds which are plant nutrients (fertilizer). In nature, this process is carried out by certain bacteria (present in the root nodules of legumes such as beans and peas), blue-green algae, and the lightning flash.

Thus the Nitrogen form the atmosphere the biotic part to the ecosystem converted into the biotic part.

Which of the processes are coupled (i.e. LINKED) in prokaryotic organisms but uncoupled (i.e. UNLINKED) in eukaryotic organisms?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Transcription & translation (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Prokaryotic organisms do not have membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, thus the process of transcription & translation occurs in the cytoplasm. Also because of the need for rapid life cycle, the mRNA molecules start to be made, & their ribosomes are ready to start making proteins more rapidly than Eukaryote, thus the process of the couple is quicker.

In eukaryotic organisms, transcription process start (happens) inside the nucleus of the cell and translation process can't start until the mRNA is transported out from the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
