The esophagus, a tube that carries food to the stomach, is constantly being scraped as food travels through it. Why does the eso

phagus not deteriorate through a person’s lifetime? Cells can anabolize the food prior to entering the esophagus. Cells are constantly dividing and replacing old or damaged cells. Cells promote a fluid to build up along the esophagus to reduce friction. Cells build a type of protein called enzymes that act as an armor.

The esophagus does not deteriorate throughout a persons life due to cellular reproduction. When the cells are scraped off by the food, mitosis, or cellular division occurs resulting in two daughter cells from one which will eventually replace the missing cells.

How do spores help the survival of spore-bearing plant?
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

it's D

Explanation:

When weather conditions are ideal, some ferns, algae, moss and even fungi, release spores into the air, often carried by the wind, by insects or birds until they land. Spores contain both male and female reproductive organs, which allows these plants to replicate themselves in a form of cloning.

5. Compare the energy emitted by waves with long <br> wavelengths to waves with short wavelengths
irinina [24]

Explanation:

The energy emitted by long wavelength waves are smaller to those emitted by short wave lengths.

The energy of a wave is a function of its wavelength and frequency.

  • The wavelength of a wave is the distance between its crest.
  • Frequency is the amount of waves that passes through a point in a period of time.
  • Energy of a wave is directly proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength.
  • The higher the frequency of a wave, the more the energy.
  • Waves with a high wavelength carries very little energy.
  • Long wavelength radiations have a long wavelength as the name implies. They carry very little energy and have low frequency. Examples are infra-red.
  • Short wavelength radiations have short wavelength. They carry very high amount of energy and have very high frequency. Examples are x-rays and gamma rays.

What's the most reliable indicator you should use when determining if you should modify activity for heat?
sp2606 [1]

Heath index chart is the best indicator you should use when determining if you should modify activity for heat. The "heat index" is a single value that looks for both temperature and humidity. The higher the heat index, the weather will feel the hotter since sweat does not immediately evaporate and cool the skin. The heat index used is much better than air temperature alone for estimating the risk to workers from environmental heat sources.
