It is protected by the epithelial cell that basically act as a barrier to protect the stomach from the acidic secretion. Hope it helps

This might help,the presence of hydrochloric acid creates an acidic environment within the stomach that is needed to convert pepsinogen to pepsin. Mucus that is produced by the epithelial cells of the stomach help protect the lining of the stomach from the corrosive hydrochloric acid and pepsin.

Listeriosis is of particular concern for pregnant women because pregnant women are more likely than other population groups to g
Igoryamba

Answer:

The correct answer is ''All of the choices are correct.''

Explanation:

Pregnant women are a risk group for listeriosis, the disease caused by the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria found in contaminated food. This organism can cross the placenta and affect the fetus. Due to the decrease in cellular immunity, pregnant women are part of the population at risk and are 17-20 times more likely to develop listeriosis after the consumption of contaminated food and it usually occurs from the third trimester and appears as a disease mild with not very high fever, joint and muscle pain. Listeriosis can cause miscarriages during the first three months of pregnancy. As the third trimester is reached, the mother is at greater risk. It presents a 40-50% fetal or neonatal mortality. In the first or second trimester it produces septic abortions and intrauterine fetal death, in the third trimester she produces chorioamnionitis and premature labor. In 1/3 cases it can occur asymptomatically in the fetus / neonate. In newborns, listeriosis can cause blood infections and meningitis.

If a 2 kg ball is traveling at a speed of 4 m/s, what is its kinetic energy?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

  • Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is given that a 2 kg ball is traveling at a speed of 4 m/s, so we have to find its kinetic energy.

KE = 1/2 mv²

KE = 1/2 × 2×(4)²

KE = 1/2 × 2×16

KE = 16 J

<u>Some information about Kinetic Energy</u>.

Kinetic Energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. It is directly proportional to the velocity of the particle and its mass. Kinetic energy is given by,

  • KE = ½mv²
  • It occurs due to the motion of the particle.
  • If a particle at rest position, then the kinetic energy will be zero because that particle won't be accelerating.
