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.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The light bulb will have the same mass on the moon as it will on earth. The mass of an object will not change if the gravitational pull on the object changes, but the weight of the object will. For instance, if you measure your mass on Earth and then measure your mass on the moon, your mass will remain the same. The same theory applies to any object with mass.
