Answer:

The esophagus or oesophagus, informally known as the food pipe or gullet, is an organ in vertebrates through which food passes, aided by peristaltic contractions, from the pharynx to the stomach. The esophagus is a fibromuscular tube, about 25 cm long in adults, which travels behind the trachea and heart, passes through the diaphragm and empties into the uppermost region of the stomach. During swallowing, the epiglottis tilts backwards to prevent food from going down the larynx and lungs. The word oesophagus is from Ancient Greek οἰσοφάγος, from οἴσω, future form of φέρω + ἔφαγον.

Anatomy. Every feature of esophageal anatomy reflects its purpose as part of the system that delivers nutrition and liquid through the body.

Function. As the upper portion of the digestive system, the esophagus’s primary role is to carry food and liquid down to the stomach.

snow_tiger [21]

During Asexual reproduction, in the interior side  of Sporangium spores are made by mold and spreading of more mold occurs and  Sporangium will be breaking during the time, when the spores are ready for leaving out.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The formation of spores is the asexual reproduction method that occurs in fungi which is a non flowering plant and bacteria. Many number of smaller and tiny spores that are tough, round shaped and microscopic, are produced by parent plants that has the ability to grow into many newer plants in asexual reproduction method only under certain conditions.   Multiple number of spores in the sacs of Rhizopus that is called as sporangia. Te structure of these sporangia is like a knob and these are  are present at the top of  hyphae which is like a thread.

When these sporangia bursts, the spores are scattered by rain, wind or insects and under suitable conditions develop into a new Rhizopus plant, when they fall on a suitable substance like bread. When a break occurs in these sporangia, scattering of these spores occurs and these develop into a new plant under some suitable conditions, when these falls on a substance say for an instance bread.

Which labels best complete the flow chart?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The labels that best complete the flow chart are:

X: Free nitrogen is in the atmosphere and Y: Producers captivate components of nitrogen via their roots.

Explanation:

Soil comprises nitrogen, it is taken up by the plants accompanied by other minerals in the process of taking water from the soil. The presence of nitrogen in the soil takes place by the process of decomposition of decaying and dead substances. The process of decomposition dissociates nitrogen and discharges it within the soil. This nitrogen is eventually taken up by the plants.  

Label X shows that in the air presence of nitrogen takes place in its free state, as it is one of the gases found in abundance in the atmosphere of the Earth.
