Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The gastric juices helps in the digestion of the food but the pH of the these juices can affect the inner lining of the stomach if there would have no mucus secretion from the epithelial cells.

The low pH would have been destroyed the lining of stomach and this can result in the causing ulcer. To prevent this the walls of the stomach has epithelial cells that secretes sticky secretion known as mucus.

Animals lose heat through the surface areas of their skin. A small animal, such as a mouse, uses a much larger proportion of its
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Because of the difference in surface area to volume ratio

Explanation:

Surface are to volume ratio is the area of an object that is exposed to the external environment (surface area), compared to the amount within an object (volume).

Therefore an elephant has a lower surface area to volume ratio than a mouse.

The smaller an object is the greater its surface area to volume ratio.

Small animals have much more surface area per mass than large animals. With so much surface area, they lose heat very quickly. So, a mouse, with a lot of surface area per mass, must spend a lot more energy to stay warm than a large animal.

Can the respiratory system function alone without the help of the circulatory system
7nadin3 [17]

Link the digestive and the breathing system to respiration and how the products of aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration
UNO [17]
When food is digested, the food is broken down into Glucose, which can get into the bloodstream through the small intestines. It travels around the body in the bloods plasma and is then diffused into the body's cells through the capillaries. Once the Glucose is in the body cells, it can be used for respiration.
The breathing system is used in respiration because we need it to respire aerobically, so that our body gets all the vital oxygen it needs. When we breathe, oxygen is stored in the alveoli in the lungs. From there, it can be diffused into the bloodstream, to be used for respiration.

The products of aerobic respiration is Carbon Dioxide and Water. The Water leaves the body as sweat or waste such as urine. The Carbon Dioxide is carried through the blood to our lungs where we can breathe it out. Where as in anaerobic respiration, the product is Lactic Acid. This ends up being broken by oxygen after exercise (oxygen debt) and is also turned into Carbon Dioxide and Water.

describe the five cellular targets of antibiotics, and explain antibiotics are effective against bacteria but not viruses.
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Five cellular targets of antibiotics were exploited withinside the improvement of antimicrobial drugs: cell wall synthesis, protein , ribonucleic acid , (DNA) , and middleman metabolism.

<h3>How do antibiotics acts as resitance?</h3>

The principal mechanisms of resistance are: proscribing uptake of a drug, amendment of a drug target, inactivation of a drug, and lively efflux of a drug. These mechanisms can be local to the microorganisms, or received from different microorganisms.

In principal, there are 3 principal antibiotic objectives in bacteria: The cell wall or membranes that surrounds the bacterial mobileular. The machineries that make the nucleic acids DNA and RNA. The equipment that produce proteins (the ribosome and related proteins).
