In a digestive tract, stomach is present at the distal end of the esophagus.

Stomach is a major part of digestive system and account for the digestion of protein. Stomach is a muscular organ, rich with secretary glands in it wall.  

When food enters the stomach, it starts producing hydrochloric acid and two enzymes known as trypsin and chymotrypsin. These enzymes along with acid digest the protein component of the food.

using what have you learnt about the effect of concentration gradient and surface area to volume ratio, explain the adaptations
tatiyna

Answer:

thanks

Explanation:

Leaves are adapted for photosynthesis and gaseous exchange.

They are adapted for photosynthesis by having a large surface area, and contain openings, called stomata to allow carbon dioxide into the leaf and oxygen out. Although these design features are good for photosynthesis, they can result in the leaf losing a lot of water. The cells inside the leaf have water on their surface. Some of this water evaporates, and the water vapour can then escape from inside the leaf.

When water evaporates from the leaves, resulting in more water being drawn up from the roots, it is called transpiration.

To reduce water loss the leaf is coated in a waxy cuticle to stop the water vapour escaping through the epidermis. Leaves usually have fewer stomata on their top surface to reduce this water loss.

Leaves enable photosynthesis to occur. Photosynthesis is the process by which leaves absorb light and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (food) for plants to grow. Leaves are adapted to perform their function, eg they have a large surface area to absorb sunlight.

Plants have two different types of 'transport' tissue, xylem and phloem. These specialised tissues move substances in and around the plant.

What could happen if bacterial DNA is damaged by UV light and the damaged DNA is not repaired by the bacteria?
enot [183]

Answer:

b. neither DNA replication nor transcription can occur, and the bacteria will probably die

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light (UV) is a powerful mutagenic agent that produces thymine dimers among contiguous base pairs. These dimers are highly stable, and thus DNA repair mechanisms are inefficient. UV light is particularly harmful to bacteria and viruses. It is for that reason that UV is used to sanitize by damaging such pathogens, avoiding them from multiplying and consequently also inhibiting transcription.
