One of the effects of the hormone secretin is to stimulate the release of bicarbonate ions into the duodenum, which neutralizes

Answer:

It will enable gut enzymes to act on the bolus during digestion.

Explanation:

The acidic presence of HCl (hydrochloric acid) in the gastric juice serves as a stimulus for the intestinal wall to produce secretin.

This hormone will act on the pancreas by stimulating the production of pancreatic juice that will contain <u>enzymes</u> (trypsinogen, amylase, lipases) and <u>HCO3⁻</u> (bicarbonate) salts, which have base composition.

With this composition that will be sent to the duodenum, there will be neutralization of acidic solution coming from the stomach and pH leveling around 8.0 (slightly basic) which is great for the enzymes that work there.

I need to know what physical weathering and chemical weathering is for a science project!
Oksana_A [137]
Ok ok no fret im here to help as best as i can :)
Weathering is a process that breaks down or changes rocks into smaller pieces. Various atmospheric aspects are responsible for weathering processes. Weathering is different from erosion. Erosion is the movement of rock pieces and sediment from one area to another. Weathering is the breaking down of rocks and erosion is a wearing away of rocks. There are two main types of weathering: physical (or mechanical) weathering and chemical weathering. Quite often, both forms of weathering will occur together

Physical weathering is also known as mechanical weathering. This type of weathering occurs when rocks and other landforms are broken down by physical factors in the environment. These physical factors include wind, water, sun, ice and temperature changes

Vesicles that come from the trans-golgi can fuse with which organelles?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Transport vesicles, containing partially processed proteins, fuse with the folds of the <u>Golgi apparatus (cisternae)</u> on the cis face and bud from the cisternae on the more distal side (trans face).

Explanation:

Some of the matrix proteins form long, filamentous tethers that are thought to help retain Golgi transport vesicles close to the organelle. When the cell prepares to divide, mitotic protein kinases phosphorylate the Golgi matrix proteins, causing the Golgi apparatus to fragment and disperse throughout the cytosol.

What would happen if there were no germ-line mutations or genetic recombination possible in a population? (2 points) Genetic var
barxatty [35]
Germ-line mutations are mutations that would be passed down to future generations, and recombinations are where the information each parent passes down to the offspring is shuffled. 

The genetic variation would have to come from random events: False
Only alternate generations would express any genetic variable: False
Body cell mutations would be the only source of heritable genetic variation: False
There would be no new heritable genetic variation possible in the population: True

Sac-like structures under the plasma membrane are a characteristic of which major group of protists?
uranmaximum [27]
The answer is alveolates. The sac-like structures under their plasma membrane are called alveoli. The alveoli provide support to the plasma membrane. Examples of groups of alveolates are ciliates, such as Paramecium, dinoflagellates, apicomplexa, and foraminifera. They lie under the phylum, Ciliophora.

What is the source of energy that powers a hydroelectric power plant?
Verdich [7]

Answer:  Given your four choices, the best/most correct one would be (c) the sunlight that evaporated water that eventually falls as rain and fills the reservoir. It is the potential energy stored in the reservoir water which is "released" as it is converted to kinetic energy (the movement of water which spins the hydroelectric generator turbine, etc.), but the absolute source of that original potential energy comes from the Sun's action to evaporate lake or ocean water which is returned to Earth as rain ... and it is this rainwater which ultimately fills the reservoir behind the hydroelectric power plant.
