Answer:

Eustachian tube

Explanation:

Eustachian tube is the auditory tube, that connects middle ear with nasopharynx. The main role of the Eustachian tube is to regulate and maintain the pressure in the ear (it equalizes the pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere). The tube is usually closed, but it opens when we swallow and chew. It also opens with positive pressure.

Blockage of the Eustachian tube can lead to discomfort or even hearing problems.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is "both Cdc6 and Cdt1"

Explanation:

The replisome is a complex molecular system that allows for the replication of DNA in yeast. There are multiple genes that participate in the replisome function, however if a researcher finds out that a yeast strain fails to properly form replisomes it is very likely that the genes that might be mutated are both Cdc6 and Cdt1. Cdc6 and ORC are the genes that send the signal to the yeast to start the replisome formation, and Cdt1 is a DNA replication factor that if it is mutated it could cause that yeast is not able to form the replisome.

Name 3 critical areas of the body that are accurately maintained by homeostasis.
tester [92]

Answer: Respiratory system, Excretory system, and Endocrine system.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the process through which several organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment in the body. There are three organs of the body which ar eaccurately maintained by homeostasis:

Respiratory system: High carbon dioxide content in the blood triggers faster breathing. Most frequently, the lungs exhale, which quicker extracts carbon dioxide from the body.  

Endocrine system: High blood sugar content causes insulin release by an endocrine gland called pancreas. Insulin is a hormone which helps the cells absorb blood sugar.

Excretory system: A low blood level of water causes kidney accumulation of water. The kidneys contain more concentrated urine, so less water from the body is lost.  

Hence, three critical areas are respiratory system, excretory system, and endocrine system that are accurately maintained by homeostasis.
