The correct answer is: D.  damage to nerves that control the stomach.

The vagus nerve is a cranial nerve that controls stomach contractions and thus, the movement of the food. When the vagus nerve is damaged, the muscles of the stomach do not function properly, so gastroparesis occur. Consequently,  food then moves slowly or even totally stops moving through the digestive tract.

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

ATP synthase is a transmembrane protein enzyme. It harnesses the potential energy –proton motive force-  created by the development of a proton gradient across a membrane (could be across the intermembrane space in chloroplast and mitochondria). As the H+ ions 'drain' back and pass through their channels in the protein enzyme, the synthase is able to phosphorylate ADP and Pi to form ATP.

These ATPs (from photophosporylation) in light-dependent phase, are used in the catabolism of glucose, in the light-indepedent phase.

A joint held together by fibrocartilage would be classified as a __________ joint. a joint held together by fibrocartilage would
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<u>Cartilagenous joint</u>

Explanation:

A cartilaginous joint where the bones are joined by fibrocartilage is called a symphysis. Fibrocartilage is very strong because it contains numerous bundles of thick collagen fibers, thus giving it a much greater ability to resist pulling and bending forces when compared with hyaline cartilage. This gives symphyses the ability to strongly unite the adjacent bones, but can still allow for limited movement to occur.

What type of monomers are combined to form carbohydrates?.
Illusion [34]
Saccharides are the monomers which are combined to form carbohydrates.

Depending on the type of carbohydrate, the monomer components can be monosaccharides, disaccharide, polysaccharide, etc.

E.g: Sucrose is a carbohydrate (specifically a dissacharide) that is made of glucose and fructose monosaccharides.

Another example is cellulose, which is a carbohydrate (specifically a polysaccharide) that is made of beta glucose monosaccharide components combined together.
