Answer:

Cretaceous

Explanation:

From what has been examined so far, there are evidence that at the end of the Cretaceous period a very large asteroid or comet stuck the Earth. The impact was where modern day Yucatan is located, and it released such an enormous energy that it managed to change the face of the Earth. The explosion itself managed to kill off pretty much everything nearby, but there was also a very hot wave that circled the whole planet. Enormous amounts of dust and ashes were released into the atmosphere that blocked the Sun, and the volcanoes all over the globe were triggered. This caused major climate and environmental changes, leading to a mass extinction, with the most noticeable victims being the dinosaurs.

Nadya [2.5K]
Folic acid is part of vitamin B complex. Lipid-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, K will be stored in the fat cells. But vitamin B and C are water-soluble vitamins that could not be stored. Only a number of the vitamin is used and the excess will be secreted, so there is no reason to have higher consumption.

Why are the contents of gastric juice so hostile to the exposed duodenal wall?
zepelin [54]

Gastric juice  is a thin strongly acidic (pH 1 - 3 ) almost colorless liquid secreted by the glands in the stomach lining. It is made acidic by one of its constituents namely hydroelectric acid. It is because of its acidic nature that gastric juice can be  so corrosive to the lining of the duodenum.

The integrity of the inner lining of the (mucous) of the duodenum depends on a careful balance of the "aggressive" factors (such as acid) and "defensive" factors (such as mucus) which helps to protect the delicate surface lining.

Disruption of this balance caused by too much acid (or weakened defense ) can result in erosion or ulcers .
