Answer: located behing the trachea in the neck.

Explanation:

After chewing, the food bolus passes through the pharynx and is directed to the esophagus. There, peristaltic movements allow the cake to be directed to the stomach. The esophagus is a tube about 25cm long. Because of the friction of the bolus on its surface, it is lined with stratified epithelium. To lessen this friction, the epithelium is lubricated by mucus produced by the submucosa esophageal glands. Between the esophagus and the stomach is the gastroesophageal sphincter that prevents the reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus.

Compare the process of carbon fixation in C3 plants to that of C4 plants.
Gre4nikov [31]

Carbon fixation is the process in which plants remove the carbon from atmospheric carbon dioxide and turn it into organic molecules like carbohydrates.

Because different type of plants are located in regions with different conditions they are different types of carbon fixation.  Plants that live in arid regions need to conserve water, while plants that live in more moist conditions will not need to conserve water.

The carbon fixation in C3 plants is one-step process. An oxidation reaction occurs because of the enzyme RuBisCo.  During the oxidation some of the energy used in photosynthesis is lost in a process known as photorespiration.

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

a. heart development.

Explanation:

As the third week of fetal development starts, the process of formation of blood vessels begins. Also, the splanchnic mesoderm in the head end of the embryo forms heart on days 18 and 19. Since it develops heart, this part of the mesodermal cells is called the cardiogenic area. The underlying endoderm sends the induction signals to these mesodermal cells to form a pair of endocardial tubes that gradually develop into a single primitive heart tube.

This primitive heart begins to beat by the end of the third week of development. Therefore, any drug that affects fetal development during the first 20 days of the pregnancy might affect the development of the heart.
