Why does a flap in your throat close when you swallow

Biology
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]3 years ago
7 0

AnswerDuring breathing, air travels from your mouth and pharynx into the larynx (toward your lungs). When you swallow, a flap called the epiglottis moves to block the entrance of food particles into your larynx and lungs. The muscles of the larynx pull upward to assist with this movement.:

What heats up the fastest (in order) wet sand, rock, water, dry sand
dedylja [7]
The specific heat capacity represents the amount of energy, in joules, that it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of a given substance by one degree Celsius. Put more simply, the amount of energy it takes to raise a quantity of water by one degree Celsius would raise an equivalent quantity of sand by a little over 14 degrees. Likewise, sand does not need to lose nearly as much energy as water to produce equivalent cooling. Since it "holds" a lot less energy, it cools down much faster than sand.
Indeed, liquid water has an unusually high specific heat capacity. Because it is much less prone to temperature swings than other common substances, large bodies of water often work to moderate temperatures in a region. This helps to explain, for example, why average temperatures fluctuate very little over the year in San Francisco, a city whose climate is heavily influenced by the water that nearly surrounds it.

A population of fruit faces food shortage when the fruit trees they depend on for food begin to die from disease. What type of g
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is - logistic growth.

Explanation:

The growth of bats is only limited by the fruit trees they feed on. It is an example of the concept of carrying capacity of an environment, so this is best modelled by logistic growth.

The Types 1-3 of survival growth are related to age, while exponential growth does not have any limits related to environmental capacity.

The correct answer is - logistic growth.

Determine whether the samples are independent or dependent. the effectiveness of a new headache medicine is tested by measuring
prisoha [69]

Answer:

An independent variable is one which can be changed or manipulated in an experiment. The effect of the independent variable is observed on the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the one which does not change or manipulated in an experiment by the investigator. The changes that occur in the dependent variable with respect to the independent variable is the outcome of the experimentation process.

In the given situation, the medicine and the placebo drug are the independent samples whereas the effect of the medicine and placebo drug can be observed on the time they require to cure the headache is the dependent variable.
