Answer:

None of the listed answers is correct

Explanation:

During normal digestion,  the esophagus  which is a muscle ring called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) opens to allow food to pass into the stomach and then quickly closes to prevent backflow into the esophagus. When the LES has a malfunction, contents from the stomach, including food and digestive juices, such as hydrochloric acid, can push up into the esophagus creating gastric acid.

¿Qué importancia tiene el saber sobre las propiedades de la energía?
user100 [1]
En qué medida todos los objetos con los que interactuamos (comida, bebida, mesas, sillas, coches, ordenadores ...) están hechos de materia: es importante conocer las propiedades que encontramos en nuestra vida diaria para poder interactuar con ellos . es decir. por lo que no tratamos de beber sólidos, necesitamos conocer la propiedad del material "fase" como sólido líquido o gas y cómo diferenciarlos. Eso es solo un ejemplo muy simple. La gente siempre se quema, por ejemplo, cuando era evitable, porque no entendió alguna propiedad de la materia que se enseña en la escuela. Saber cómo surgen las diversas propiedades de la materia es importante porque no podemos predecir qué propiedades serán importantes en el futuro y así es como se puede anticipar de manera más confiable cómo se comportarán los objetos. De esa manera, estará mejor equipado para lidiar con asuntos que no haya encontrado anteriormente. Es por eso que se enseñan propiedades que es poco probable que encuentre en su vida diaria, al menos no directamente. Además, el hecho de que nunca se encuentre con una propiedad en particular no significa que no sea importante conocerla. Otras personas ... con las que interactúas, es decir. es posible que tenga que votar sobre algo que se base en una explicación basada. Además, yo diría que nuestras vidas son más ricas si sabemos lo que realmente está sucediendo. 21K vistas Ver votos positivos. -Simon bridge
