<span>Both photoautotrophs and chemoautotrophs synthesize organic compounds from (inorganic) carbon dioxide, a process known as carbon fixation. Photoautotrophs get the energy to perform these reactions from light. Chemoautotrophs get it from electron donors such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. Cyanobacteria, by contrast, convert nitrogen from the atmosphere into ammonia, a process known as nitrogen fixation.</span>
I'm pretty sure it's polyploidy
Energy changes forms from heat, to kenetic, to potential energy. However, the total energy is the atmosphere is conserved, meaning energy can only change forms, but cannot be produced.
Answer:
The correct option is b. lower esophageal sphincter
Explanation:
The esophagus is the initial part of the digestive tract and its function is the transport of the alimentary bolus from the pharynx to the stomach, through the thorax and avoid the reflux thereof. It begins and ends in two sphincter structures, the upper esophageal sphincter and the lower esophageal sphincter, which separate it from the pharynx and stomach. The lower esophageal sphincter has two functions: relax during swallowing and prevent reflux of the gastric contents into the esophagus in the postdeglutory period. After swallowing, there is a relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, pressure dropping to levels similar to those of the gastric fundus, which allows the bolus to enter the stomach. This relaxation lasts a few seconds and is followed by a strong contraction that prevents backflow of food.
