Answer:

of the low pH of the vagina.

Explanation:

The pH of the vagina is maintained at highly acidic levels to prevent the germ buildup. The range of vaginal pH is around 3.8 to 4.5. The very low pH of the vagina creates a hostile environment for sperms and most of the sperms are killed as they enter the vagina due to the acidic pH.

Apart from supplementing the sperms with energy, cervical mucus serves to protect the sperms from the hostile conditions of the vagina. The cervical mucus has an alkaline pH at or near the ovulation to protect sperms from acidic pH of the vagina and to facilitate fertilization.

Elena L [17]

Answer: B) are excited by light that falls in the center of their receptive field.

Explanation:

There are two types of bipolar cells present in the retina which are differentiated on the way the centres of their receptive fields respond to light. The names of bipolar cells are ON-centre and OFF-centre.

If a light fall at the centre of the receptive field of a bipolar cell, it will experience an exciting effect on that cell, resulting in it being depolarized, it is an ON-center cell.

Hence, the correct option is B.
