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.

Imagine you are a botanist. Below are characteristics of a never-before described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory’ (ATBI).
Field Notes: Specimen collected from shaded area along stream in South Cumberland State Park (Grundy County, TN).
Laboratory Analysis:
Body: Large leaves emerging from underground rhizome.
Size: 63 cm
Chromosomal Analysis: Plant body is diploid—chromosome number of 44.
Lignin test: Positive
Cuticle: Present
Leaves: Present—large with branched veins. Underside has sori (containing haploid spores).
Roots: Present—branch from the inside.
Stem: Present—vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) present.
Life History: Diploid sporophyte dominant generation. Haploid spores germinate into heart-shaped, haploid, gametophyte. Water required for fertilization; no seed is produced. Diploid zygote develops into sporophyte.
