Biology
1 answer:
Advocard [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:  Ecological succession is the gradual process by which ecosystems change and develop over time. Nothing remains the same and habitats are constantly changing.

There are two main types of succession, primary and secondary.

Primary succession is the series of community changes which occur on an entirely new habitat which has never been colonized before. For example, a newly quarried rock face or sand dunes.

Secondary succession is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat. For example, after felling trees in a woodland, land clearance or a fire.

Which organelle can be compared to a security guard who decides whom may enter a building and whom may not
kotegsom [21]
The correct answer here is "cell membrane". Generally it makes sure that nothing enters or leaves the cell, except by its highly guarded "gates", such as ion channels, that let some particles through - but they're very picky about whom to let in!

Why are alternative scientific theories to evolution not taught in public school?
adoni [48]

Answer:

<u>Option-(D):</u>Alternative scientific theories are suppressed by the science establishment.

Explanation:

<u>Theory of Evolution:</u>

"The theory of evolution states that, there is a process of change which occurs inside the living organism's heritable, physical and behavioral traits  over the years or mostly it occurs in a series of generation".

  • As, there were many other theories that were presented and research was carried out on them in order to increase the level of education regarding the term "evolution".

Starting from the mouth, describe the pathway that takes through the digestive system
bonufazy [111]
Food starts to move through your GI tract when you eat. When you swallow, your tongue pushes the food into your throat. A small flap of tissue, called the epiglottis, folds over your windpipe to prevent choking and the food passes into your esophagus.

Esophagus. Once you begin swallowing, the process becomes automatic. Your brain signals the muscles of the esophagus and peristalsis begins.

Lower esophageal sphincter. When food reaches the end of your esophagus, a ringlike muscle—called the lower esophageal sphincter —relaxes and lets food pass into your stomach. This sphincter usually stays closed to keep what’s in your stomach from flowing back into your esophagus.

Stomach. After food enters your stomach, the stomach muscles mix the food and liquid with digestive juices. The stomach slowly empties its contents, called chyme, into your small intestine.

Small intestine. The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream. As peristalsis continues, the waste products of the digestive process move into the large intestine.

Large intestine. Waste products from the digestive process include undigested parts of food, fluid, and older cells from the lining of your GI tract. The large intestine absorbs water and changes the waste from liquid into stool. Peristalsis helps move the stool into your rectum.

Rectum. The lower end of your large intestine, the rectum, stores stool until it pushes stool out of your anus during a bowel movement.
