What protects food from entering the larynx?

Biology
1 answer:
Paul [167]3 years ago
7 0
The epiglottis is a flap in the back of your tongue that prevents food from entering the larynx. When your mouth is closed, the epiglottis is in place and blocks the larynx opening. If your mouth is open, the flap lifts and the larynx is no longer blocked so you can breathe. This is why it's important to not chew with your mouth open... if you do, then food can go down the larynx by mistake.

Use the double-stranded DNA molecule below to answer the following questions. The first pair of nucleotides (bolded) contains th
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is 2. 5'-AUGUCAGGUACGCCACAU-3'

Explanation:

The template strand for transcription is 3'-TACAGTCCATGCGGTGTA-5 and RNA polymerase will add complementary mRNA sequence against this strand in the opposite direction i.e., 5' to 3' direction.

In RNA, A(adenine) makes complementary base pairing with U(uracil), not with T(thymine) and the rest of the base-pairing is same as in DNA. Therefore the correct mRNA produced from the transcription of this DNA molecule by the help of RNA polymerase is 5'-AUGUCAGGUACGCCACAU-3'.

Then this mRNA sequence will be used by ribosomes to synthesize proteins during the translation process.
