Answer:
Excretion is the removal of material from one living thing, for example. Humans excrete tears, sweat, carbon dioxide etc.
Secretion is the movement of material from one point to another, for example. Humans secrete enzymes, hormones, saliva etc.
Basically in summary excretion is the removal of physical material and secretion is the movement of biological materials from one point to another.
I hope this was clear enough lol
Exponential growth, because of the shape of the curve.
The answer would be True
Alcohol can be easily absorbed by the stomach without digestion, which makes the onset it needs to start making the effect is really fast. Around 25% of alcohol will be absorbed by stomach while the rest absorbed in the small intestine. The initial effect of alcohol will impair the ability to make a decision, decrease visual function and altering mood.
Answer:
d. Fluoride becomes incorporated into the crystalline structure of teeth, making them less susceptible to decay
Explanation:
Dental caries results when cariogenic (caries-causing) bacteria metabolize carbohydrates or sugars present in the mouth for their energy needs, producing organic acids as byproducts, thus lowering the pH of the plaque biofilm.
The hydroxyapatite of tooth enamel is composed mainly of phosphate ions (PO₄³⁻) and calcium ions (Ca⁺). Under normal conditions, there is a stable equilibrium between the calcium and phosphate ions in saliva and the crystalline hydroxyapatite. At low pH (acidic conditions), there is a shift in equilibrium resulting in the dissolution of hydroxyapatite from tooth enamel, a process known as demineralization. A reverse process called remineralization (the process of incorporation of minerals in tooth enamel) occurs when the saliva, acting as a buffer elevates pH. When equilibrium is shifted to favor continued demineralization, dental caries results.
However, when fluoride is present in saliva, fluorapatite, rather than hydroxyapatite, forms during the remineralization process as fluoride ions replace hydroxyl groups in the formation of the apatite crystal lattice.
Fluorapatite is less soluble than hydroxyapatite making it more resistant to demineralization, even under conditions of low pH. Thus, fluoride acts as an effective anticaries agent.
