Textbook Question
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.

Is Southern hybridization's purpose detecting specific nucleotide sequences? How so?
Use the following information to answer the question(s) below.
Martin Wikelski and L. Michael Romero (Body size, performance and fitness in Galápagos marine iguanas, Integrative and
Comparative Biology 43 [2003]:376-86) measured the snout-to-vent (anus) length of Galápagos marine iguanas and observed
the percent survival of different-sized animals, all of the same age. The graph shows the log snout-vent length (SVL, a
measure of overall body size) plotted against the percent survival of these different size classes for males and females.

24) Use the following information to answer the question below.
Researchers studying a small milkweed population note that some plants produce a toxin and other plants do not.
They identify the gene responsible for toxin production. The dominant allele (T) codes for an enzyme that makes
the toxin, and the recessive allele (t) codes for a nonfunctional enzyme that cannot produce the toxin.
Heterozygotes produce an intermediate amount of toxin. The genotypes of all individuals in the population are
determined (see table) and used to determine the actual allele frequencies in the population.

Refer to the table above. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
A) Yes.
C) No; there are more homozygotes than expected.
B) No; there are more heterozygotes than expected.
D) It is impossible to tell.

Some changes may make it difficult to consume a healthful diet, so it is important to identify strategies to help overcome these obstacles. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about changes in older adults. Select all that apply. Poor vision can make it difficult for older adults to get to a supermarket, and to prepare meals. With age, taste and visual perception decline. As people age, salivary production increases. In older adults with dysphagia, foods like creamy soups, applesauce, and yogurt are usually well tolerated. Lean body mass increases in older adults.arrow_forwardWhen physical activity increases, energy requirements increase also. Depending on the type, intensity, and duration of physical activity, the body’s requirements for certain macronutrients may change as well. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about the effects of increased physical activity or athletic training. Select all that apply. An athlete who weighs 70 kg (154 lb) should consume 420 to 700 g of carbohydrate per day. How much additional energy an athlete needs depends on the specific activity the athlete engages in and the frequency of the activity. Those participating in vigorous exercise should restrict their fat intake to less than 15%% of total energy intake. Athletes who are following energy-restricted diets are at risk for consuming insufficient protein. The recommendation to limit saturated fat intake to less than 10%% of total energy intake does not apply to athletes or those who regularly engage in vigorous physical activity.arrow_forward
