Describe how the action of the action of the mouth,aesphogus and stomach contribute to the digestion of food

Biology
1 answer:
AURORKA [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Mouth: The process of food breakdown first begins in the mouth. The tooth, tongue and jaw apply this process with a mechanical activity. While teeth provide mechanical digestion of food, saliva chemically digests food.

YUtta and esophagus): The tongue pushes the food towards the esophagus. Meanwhile, the trachea is covered with a laryngeal lid. When swallowed food reaches the esophagus, the esophagus contracts peristaltic movements, allowing the food to move towards the stomach.

Stomach: The stomach is an organ that stores food, breaks it down mechanically and secretes enzymes to digest proteins. The secretion of gastric juice is provided by the gastrin hormone. The stomach is an acidic environment. This acid kills bacteria in food and converts proteins into amino acids in enzymes in the stomach. Ultimately, a mixture of partially digested nutrients called chyme is obtained. This mixture is sprayed into the small intestine. Vitamin B12 is a vitamin that is released from the stomach.

If an enzyme inhibitor binds at a site other than the active site of the enzyme, the nature of the inhibitor is described as
icang [17]

Answer:

B. non-competitive

Explanation:

As opposed as competitive inhibition, the non-competitive one does not bind with the active region of the enzyme. However, it does reduce the efficiency of the reaction because it changes the protein structure, making it unavailable for substrate.

Reversibility is related to the possibility of the reaction to be undone. If the bond is covalent, the enzyme will not return to its active state, so that would be a non-reversible bind.

The risk of recurrence of a trait based on known incidence in a population refers to?
lisov135 [29]

The risk of recurrence of a trait based on known incidence in a population refers to the empiric risk.

<h3>What is empiric risk?</h3>

Disorder present in a family member will reoccur in other family member after some period of time.

Cancers are very difficult to treat so it has high rate of recurrence such as leukemia it has 9% to 29% recurrence rate depending upon risk.

The recurrence chance for Down syndrome is nearly 1%.

The chance of recurrence risk in future offspring is 3% - 5% if a parent or sibling is affected with a disorder.

Therefore,the risk of recurrence of a trait based on known incidence in a population refers to empiric risk.
