The inside of a stomach is coated with a lining that protects it.
This lining is made up of cells called epithelial cells. They coat the stomach with a mucus that neutralizes the acid.
The mucus contains bi-carbonate (a base), similar to baking soda.
Acid + Base = water and salt
So, that’s why taking tums or swallowing baking soda water helps an upset stomach.
When your stomach is upset, it means there’s too much acid. Taking a tums neutralizes that overproduction eating also helps to absorb the excess acid.
Answer:
(2) 988.5 mb.
Explanation:
The air pressure descends as we ascend. In other words, they are inversely proportional.
The air pressure descends as we ascend the mountain because the air molecules that are above us in high altitudes are fewer than the number of air molecules that are above us in the base of the mountain. So, the exerted pressure of the molecules on ourselves is lower in high altitudes.
Due to the reason mentioned above, we can deduce that the only correct option is option number two since the other ones show increasing or the same pressure, which is not possible as we ascend.
A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids. The completed polypeptide chains come together to form proteins, so be careful not to get them mixed up!
Hope this helps!
Answer:
a) allosteric site
Explanation:
An allosteric site is a site on an enzyme other than the active site where a molecule that is not a substrate binds. This changes the shape of the enzyme, making it harder for the substrate to bind and inhibits enzyme activity.
Hope that helps.
