The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract. In fact,digestion starts here as soon as you take the first bite of a meal. Chewing breaks the food into pieces that are more easily digested, while saliva mixes with food to begin the process of breaking it down into a form your body can absorb and use.

The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract, chewing breaks down the food into pieces so it is easier to digest. The throat is the next destination for food, from here food travels to the esophagus. The esophagus is a muscular tube extending from the pharynx to the stomach. The stomach is a sac like organ with strong muscular walls. The stomach secretes acid and powerful enzymes that continues the process of breaking down food. When it leaves the stomach it is a liquid or paste. From there it moves to the small intestine. The small intestine is made up of three segments. The duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, the small intestine is a long tube loosely coiled in the abdomen.

What is an example of codomiance

satela [25.4K]

Codominance means that neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele. An example in humans would be the ABO blood group, where alleles A and alleles B are both expressed. So if an individual inherits allele A from their mother and allele B from their father, they have blood type AB.

Which describes an oxidation reaction that occurs during cellular respiration?

Yuri [45]

Answer: Option 4; Oxygen gains electrons and hydrogen to form water.

Respiration is a process where glucose is used and energy is released stored in this molecule. Oxygen is used during respiration as well and it gains the electrons and hydrogen to form water. And, gain of electrons is an oxidation reaction. So answer is option 4.

Since, oxygen is consumed during respiration, option 1 is incorrect.

Loss of electrons is reduction, so option 2 is also incorrect.

Glucose is used in respiration, thus option 3 is incorrect.

The brilliant research scientist, Professor "Iron-Mike" Scrawll is studying a new pore-forming toxin from the pathogenic bacteri

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The correct option is C - Professor Scrawll applied 100 nM BurD to the cells for 24 hours, while Dr. Bogey applied 1 nM BurD to the cells for 12 hours.

Explanation:

The correct option is C - Professor Scrawll applied 100 nM BurD to the cells for 24 hours, while Dr. Bogey applied 1 nM BurD to the cells for 12 hours.

As the exotoxin, BurD is very stable and lyse the ankle cells very quickly, more concentration and more time of action should only lyse the cells. Perhaps Dr.Bogey's ankle cells were not lysed because the concentration she used was only 1nM compared to the 100nM concentration used by Dr. Scrawll, and the time period of incubation was only 12 hours compared to the 24 hours used by Dr. Scrawll.

Considering the other explanations given in the remaining options, the concentration and time of incubation used by Dr. Bogey are more than that used by Dr. Scrawll which should only have possibly lysed the cells. Moreover, contamination with bleach also should have only lysed the cells.
