I believe that during swallowing the epiglottis closes the glottis. Epiglottis is a leaf-shaped cartilage located behind the tongue, at the top of the larynx, whose main function is to seal off the windpipe during eating, so as to prevent accidental inhalation of food. It is only during the process of swallowing that the epiglottis moves and performs this vital function.

What we need to do for speed up photosynthesis
Margarita [4]

Answers:

The ways to speed up photosynthesis is to <u>increase the amount of light </u>because with minimal light it slows photosynthesis down. Photosynthesis is also <u>dependent on temperature</u> and when the enzymes reach the perfect temperature which is around <u>50-68 degrees fahrenheit. An increase in carbon dioxide </u>will also speed up photosynthesis (this is more possible in a greenhouse). Carbon dioxide is used to make the sugar in order to create the reaction for photosynthesis to happen.
