Answer:
The correct answer is: It allows large masses of food to pass through the esophagus when swallowing.
Explanation:
The trachea, or windpipe, is a hollow organ that <u>connects the larynx to the bronchi and allows the passage of air</u> so it can reach the lungs and make the gas exchange possible.
The trachea has cartilages around it to reinforce the tube for protection and to maintain the airway open. The places where there's cartilage are the anterior and the lateral sides of the trachea. This cartilage has the shape of an incomplete ring, or the shape of a C to allow the passage of food. The side that has no cartilage is the posterior side of the trachea, which is the side that is <u>in relation to the esophagus</u> - the part of the gastrointestinal tract that transports the food from the buccal cavity to the stomach.
Answer:
separation of populations has led to the evolution of new species
Explanation:
- When the populations evolve to become distinct species, then this process is termed as speciation.
- Speciation can occur due to various reasons and one of these reasons is geographic isolation that leads to separation fo the populations which then faces different evolutionary pressure and thus evolve into new species.
- In the Hawaiin islands, there are different species of honeycreepers because of the unique geology of Hawaii due to which new volcanic islands are constantly being formed and eroded which leads to the separation of population and their evolution into new species.
When water from the oceans/seas evaporate up into the atmosphere.
<span>The pH of the matrix increases and the pH of the inter membrane cell decreases
</span>
The reason behind this is the presence of the electron transport chain within the mitochondria which requires the transport of hydrogen ions. The movement of hydrogen ions results in varying pH. If the mitochondria dies, the hydrogen ions will not move into the matrix, causing its pH to increase, and they will build up in the inter membrane causing a decrease in pH.
