Answer: Positive feedback loop

Explanation:

Even before the food reaches the stomach (before ingesting it), the glands of the stomach mucosa begin to release its gastric secretion. The main characteristic of this secretion is acidity, as measured by pH (one of the physiological variables).

This acidity is a result of the presence of hydrochloric acid, which is part of the secretion composition. In addition to it, water, pepsinogen (which will give rise to the enzyme pepsin) and the intrinsic factor. The acid has a function of the protection of the entire system by eliminating microorganisms. It is also responsible for the activation of pepsin (which only occurs with acid pH), the enzyme that digests proteins containing the amino acids leucine or phenylalanine or tryptophan or tyrosine.

The concept of Positive feedback loop states that the body tries to increase the value of a variable (acidity, in the case of pepsinogen) when it is below its optimal value (called a point adjustment) and decreases this value when it is above optimal.

Explain how the melting of the sea ice may affect<br><br> people living on the coast of Florida.
Levart [38]

Since 2000, melting ice from the continent totaled enough to raise sea levels globally by about four tenths of an inch, according to the report which relied on the work of 90 scientists.  With what’s already baked into the atmosphere, faster melting land ice will likely add between 7.5 and 9.8 inches to earlier U.N. estimates by 2100, the report said.  And because of its position downstream, in an area of “preferential excitement,” South Florida could experience rise at the high end as water sloshes around the planet, Kirtman said.  “Think of it as pushing down the ocean [in Greenland]. The ocean is fluid, so it’s going to respond somewhere else and that somewhere else is down here,” he said.  In South Florida, planners already confronting flooding from sea rise have been more aggressive in assessing sea rise.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is BB genotype and BO genotype.

Explanation:

The human blood system or ABO system shows codominance due to the multiple alleles. That means three different alleles for human blood type are present are IA, IB, and i. For easy understanding can be stated as A (for IA), B (for IB), and O (for i).

If someone has blood type B could have a genotype of either BB or BO because of the dominance of B allele on O where is If A allele present with B allele it would show co-dominance.

Thus, the correct answer is the BB genotype and BO genotype.
