Chapter 24, Problem 1RAC
Which layer of the digestive tract is in direct contact with the foodthat is consumed?
a. mucosa
b. muscularis
c. serosa
d. submucosa
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Three types of glands are associated with the digestive tract. These are unicellular mucous glands present in the mucosa, multicellular glands present in the mucosa and submucosa, multicellular glands present outside the digestive tract.
Answer to Problem 1RAC
The correct answer is option (a) mucosa.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (a) mucosa. The mucosa is the inner tunic of the digestive tract, and it surrounds the lumen of the digestive tract. Therefore, the mucosa is in direct contact with ingested substances. So, the correct answer is option (a).
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (b) muscularis. It is the middle tunic of the digestive tract and does not come in contact with the lumen. Hence, the given option is not correct.
Option (c) serosa. It is the external layer of the mucosa. It does not interact with food substances. Hence, the given option is not correct.
Option (d) submucosa. It is present next to the mucosa and does not connect with the lumen of the digestive tract. Hence, the given option is not correct.
Conclusion
The mucosa is the innermost tunic and in direct contact of ingested food. Hence, the correct answer is option (a) mucosa.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.)
After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)
Data Table 1Stage Totals PercentInterphase Mitosis: Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis Totals 100 100%
To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…

The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
