The stomach and the cells that comprise it have a three-part protection system to protect from the acid contained in the stomach, comprised mostly of compact cell unions.

The stomach is one of the main digestive tract organs. Its job is to break down the food we ingest and pass it along to the rest of the digestive tract. To perform this action, the stomach secrets hydrochloric acid. However, the stomach itself is not damaged by this acid due to a three-part protective system comprised of:

Tight epithelial cell lining
Mucose Barrier
Bicarbonate secretion

The cells present in the epithelial lining of the stomach join one another via compact cell unions to form a closed barrier which is then covered by a thick Mucose barrier. This along with the secretion of bicarbonate which works to break up the acids present in the stomach and ingested, form a sealed barrier that protects the stomach from harm.

Some butterflies can ingest toxic chemicals from the milkweed plants they feed on and then canstore those chemicals in their bod

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

A) Any butterfly allele that allowed milkweed toxin storage would be likely to persist because butterflies that had it were more likely to survive.

Explanation:

Butterflies are natural preys to birds. Over time, some butterflies evolved adaptive strategy such as developing an allele which enables storage of toxin from milkweed as a form of defense mechanism. This stored toxins repel birds from eating the butterflies having this allele giving rise to the survival of these butterflies overtime. Butterflies that had it are likely to be highly favored for survival against predatory birds, while those butterflies without this allele are likely to be heavily preyed upon by birds.

Why have improvements in microscopes over time resulted in revisions in the cell theory?

lord [1]

We have been able to see more of the cell in detail. We dont have to guess about things because we can see how it works. The more we see the more theories change because we know more.
