II. PARTS OF THE DIGESTIVE TRACT A. ORAL CAVITY After ingestion, the physical breakdown of solid foods (mechanical digestion) begins in the oral cavity (mouth). Describe how food is mechanically digested in the oral cavity. Include a discussion of how the teeth, tongue, and saliva work together to convert solid food into a moist, semi-solid mass of food called a bolus. Example: think of how a hard, dry saltine cracker is converted into a moist ball (bolus) in the mouth. B. PHARYNX and ESOPHAGUS 1. After food has been mechanically digested, mixed with saliva, and a bolus has formed, it is swallowed. Swallowing moves the bolus from the mouth into the esophagus. Discuss the events that occur during swallowing. 2. Which portions of the pharynx does food pass through when swallowing

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This begins with the gradual breaking down of the food in the mouth, by grinding the food substances with the teeth this is mastication, and the secretion of saliva, which moisten the food, soften it so that the salivary amylase enzyme, carried out the mechanical digestion.

Swallowing is a wavelike muscular contraction which involve the contraction of the longitudinal and circular muscles of the oesophagus, which pushes the bolus down  to the stomach.

The food pass  Oropharynx. While the epiglottis prevents the bolus from entering the trachea.

This is followed by the rolling  up of the tongue, the pushing the broken down food now chyme towards the back of the mouth, pressing it against the soft palate. At this stage a bolus is formed.From here it is pushed into the throat,where it is pushed down the oesophagus by peristalsis.

While doing research on deep-sea vents, you discover a very simple new life form. After some initial analysis, you find that this life form contains small fragments of DNA, small complementary RNA fragments, and proteins. Fortuitously, you collected two strains, one that is purple and one that is yellow. You wish to discover which of those three molecules could be the genetic material. You heat-kill some of the purple life form and subject three different homogenized samples to different enzymes: DNase, RNase, or protease. Which treated sample(s) will transform yellow into purple IF RNA is the genetic material

Answers

Answer:

The one treated with DNase and protease

Explanation:

The samples that will transform yellow into purple if RNA is the genetic material are the ones treated with DNase and protease respectively.

The treatment of the heat-killed sample of the purple life with DNase will ensure that the DNA in the sample becomes degraded while treatment with protease will ensure that protein is degraded, leaving only the RNA. Thus, the RNA can be taken up by the yellow life form and become transformed into purple if indeed RNA is the genetic material.

The sample treated with RNase cannot transform the yellow life into purple because the RNase catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components.

Which correctly lists the three processes that are affected by freeze and thaw cycles?
O creep, landslide, and deposition
O deposition, creep, and weathering
O landslide, slump and deposition
O slump. weathering, and creep

Answers

Answer:

Slump creep and weathering

Explanation:

Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when water from rainfall or melt snow penetrate into cracks and the temperature is lowered than a liquid and freeze. The process where exposed rock is broken. It gives the landscape a new shape.

When the freeze occur it expands the rock and when the temperature increases above freezing the thaw ice further penetrate into the crack.

Weathering the breaking down of rock into smaller frequent affects freeze-thaw as it allows water to penetrate into cracks.

Slump is the downward movement of materials from rock surface, it allows material to move alone the rock surface liquid such as water can be allowed to move and penetrate cracks. crack rock fragment that results from freeze thawing are deposited at rock base and form smaller rocks

Creep is also the movements of weathered materials down the slope of rock surfaces. It could result from freeze thaw.

A study from the National Institutes of Health states that the human body contains trillions of microorganisms that make up 1% to 3% of the body's mass. Use this information to estimate the average mass of a microorganism.

Answers

Answer:

If the mass of the human body is 60 kg so the average mass of microorganism is 1.2 kg.

Explanation:

If we suppose the mass of human body is 60 kg and we know the percentage that is 1 to 3% so we will take the average microorganism mass of which is 2%. So by doing multiplication of 60 with 2 and then divided by 100, we get 1.2 kg. The reason for dividing by 100 is that the average mass present in percentage form so for converting the percentage into standard form we have to divide it by 100. So we conclude that in every human with a mass of 60 kg have 1.2 kg microbes present in their body.

Diffusion is a passive process that accounts for the movement of respiratory gases across the capillary membranes of alveoli.
True
False​

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Diffusion is a passive process (no energy required) in which the substance such as liquid and gases moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

During respiration, carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli and oxygen diffuses from alveoli to blood across the respiratory membrane. The partial pressure of oxygen is low in the blood of the pulmonary capillaries and high in the alveoli. so diffusion allow movement of oxygen across the respiratory membrane from the alveoli into the blood.

Hence, the given statement is true.

Information about spiral galaxy is correct in all three columns that spiral galaxy has pinwheel shape and made up of several stars, dust and gas particles hold together by gravitational force.

Elliptical galaxy has round or oval shape and made up of mostly old stars and do not have much gas and dust particles which are hold together by gravitation force and not by electrical force.

Irregular galaxy has no defined shape as of spiral and elliptical and are made up of large amount of gas and dust and forms new stars which allow them to look brighter.

You are running an experiment to study seed germination and accidentally left a dish of seeds covered with a little water in a totally dark room. When you return a few days later, you notice that the seeds have sprouted long roots and long shoots. What was the source of most of the matter that makes up these roots and shoots?A. oxygen in the airB. carbon dioxide in the airC. water in the dishD. glucose in the seed

Answers

Answer:

D. glucose in the seed

Explanation:

Plants generally make their food through the process of photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight by utilizing carbon-dioxide and water and produces oxygen and carbohydrate.

But due to the absence of sunlight, plant will be unable to use carbon dioxide and water for photosynthesis and oxygen is a by-product.

So the reason of seed germination is the presence of glucose in the seed. Seeds generally germinate through the process of inhibition, that require uptake of water. Glucose works as energy source in humans and plants as well. sugar or glucose allow the seed to utilize the water and help foster its growth.

Hence, the correct option is D. glucose in the seed.

Shortly after a stream dried up, you noticed a change in the field mouse population coat color variation. When the stream was flowing, there were two populations, one with darker coats and one with lighter coats. After the stream dried up, mice with darker coats were being born into the lighter coat population and vice versa.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

When the stream dried up darker coat mice were seen into the lighter coat population and vice versa because of the natural selection process.

Mice change their coat color by adapting the changes in the stream flow and evolve their coat either dark or light that provides camouflage so predators won’t see them and they are able to survive in the environment. Mice have the advantage of surviving long and they are able to pass their genes to the offspring.

Hence, the given statement is true.    

Based on the objective you should feel comfortable calculating expected genotype frequencies when given observed allele frequencies. You should also be able to compare expected genotype frequencies from HWE to observed frequencies and determine if evolution is occurring. Here's a sample problem. You can do this without a calculator! Let's take the noob gene, a gene with two known alleles that determines feather color in the eastern lark. The two alleles, let's call them delta and gamma, can be sequenced. In fact, looking at a population in southern GA, you discover that 60% of the alleles in the population are the delta allele. So question 1, what is the percentage of the gamma allele in the population

Answers

Answer:

40% is the percentage of the gamma allele in the population.

Explanation:

Available data:

Two alleles, delta and gamma60% of the alleles in the southern GA population are the delta allele

What is the percentage of the gamma allele in the population?

According to Hardy-Weinberg, the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q, referring to the allelic dominant or recessive forms. The genotypic frequencies after one generation are p² (Homozygous dominant), 2pq (Heterozygous), (Homozygous recessive). Populations in H-W equilibrium will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation. The sum of these allelic frequencies equals 1, this is p + q = 1.

In the same way, the sum of genotypic frequencies equals 1, this is

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

Being

p the dominant allelic frequency, q the recessive allelic frequency, p² the homozygous dominant genotypic frequency q² the homozygous recessive genotypic frequency 2pq the heterozygous genotypic frequency

If the percentage of delta allele in a population is 60%, this means that its frequency is 0.6. By clearing the equation p + q = 1, we can calculate the gamma allele frequency. This is:

p + q = 1

0.6 + q = 1

q = 1 - 0.6

q = 0.4

Then the percentage of gamma allele in the population is 40%.

We can also think about it like this:

If the sum of the allelic frequencies equals 1, then 1 is 100% of the allelic frequencies. And if the percentage of delta allele in a population is 60%, then 40% is the percentage of gamma allele.
