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:

d. Competitive inhibition will decrease because the proportion of the active sites occupied by substrate will increase.

Explanation:

Enzymes are bio catalysts in living cells responsible for aiding biochemical reactions.

Their active sites are primary protein  3D structure  for binding with substrates during   reactions.

Enzymes reactions are usually affected by inhibitors(e.g methyl alcohol) which compete with the active site with the actual substrate(ethyl alcohol) ,

This is an example of competitive inhibition. The more ethyl alcohol available, the more active sites  occupied, therefore denying the inhibitor methylalchol  chances to the active site, thus preventing the formation of toxic formaldehyde, and more of non toxic substances from formation of more ADH-METHYL ALCOHOL COMPLEXES at the active sites

Answer:

plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil.

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Answer:

Animal cells have ribosomes for protein synthesis, unlike plants which use chloroplasts.

Explanation:

Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast. Plants are the basis of all life on Earth.
