Answer:

In anatomical directional terminology, the esophagus is <u>posterior</u> to the mouth (option d).

Explanation:

The esophagus is a tubular organ that is part of the digestive system and its function is to carry food from the mouth to the stomach. The anatomical relationship of the proximal end of the esophagus, with respect to the mouth, is posterior and inferior, its distal end also being located above the stomach.

This anatomical relationship allows the direction of food movement to be mouth → esophagus → stomach.

Answer:

a. It's a carrier protein doing facillitated diffusion

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion may be defined as the transportation of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration that is down the concentration gradient without input of the energy. Whereas the active transport is transportation of the molecules from the low concentration to the high concentration which is against concentration gradient by the membrane protein.

The glucose transportation process requires membrane protein for the transport and does not require any energy. Therefore, it is carrier protein which is doing the facilitated diffusion.
