Answer:

3. Hot spots , 4. S shaped mid oceanic ridge, pacific ocean.

Explanation:

The Hawaiian islands are located on the hotspots that are formed by the collision of two strong plates and the presence of volcanoes and high magnitude earthquakes as the pacific plate is continuously moving on the western side as its subducting under the North American plate and hence shrinking in size.

The s-shaped Atlantic ocean has mid atlantic ridge and as this ocean spreads the lava is up welding across the ocean floor and hence the opening of the atlantic plate is seen.

The correct answer is: Heartburn often results when the gastroesophageal sphincter fails to close properly.

The gastroesophageal sphincter is a muscle located at the bottom of the esophagus that has to be relaxed in order to allow food to flow down into the stomach. After it contracts (tightens), the food and the stomach acid can’t flow back up into the esophagus.

When the gastroesophageal sphincter fails to close properly acid reflux occurs and causes the heartburn.

nalin [4]

Answer:

Drug, medicine, or poison: Muscarine; Looks similar to this endogenous molecule: Acetylcholine; Binds to this endogenous protein/receptor: muscarinic receptors

Drug, medicine, or poison: Tamoxifen; Looks similar to this endogenous molecule: estrogen; Binds to this endogenous protein/receptor: estrogen receptor

Drug, medicine, or poison: Prozac; Looks similar to this endogenous molecule: Serotonin; Binds to this endogenous protein/receptor: serotonin transporter protein

Drug, medicine, or poison: Ketamine; Looks similar to this endogenous molecule: NMDA; Binds to this endogenous protein/receptor: NMDA receptor

Explanation:

Muscarine is a poisonous natural product found in certain mushrooms. It is similar to acetylcholine and competes with acetylcholine at its receptor binding sites.Signs of muscarine poisoning include salivation, lacrimation, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bradycardia, etc.

Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator. It is similar to estrogen and acts by inhibiting the effects of estrogen in the breast tissue. It is used to prevent and treat breast cancer in men and women.

Prozac is an antidepressant which belongs to th class known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It looks similar to serotonin and inhibits its action by competing with serotonin for its binding site. It is used for the treatment of depression disorders.

Ketamine is an NMDA (N-Methyl-D-aspartate) receptor antagonist. NMDA receptor antagonists are a class of drugs that work by inhibiting the action of the NMDA receptor. They are commonly used as anesthetics for animals and humans to induce a state of anesthesia known as dissociative anesthesia.
