Acid reflux is a condition in which the gastric juices of the stomach flow backward into the esophagus. Which of the following causes acid reflux?
The cardiac sphincter does not close tightly.
Peristalsis occurs slowly in the esophagus.
Excess gastric juices are produced by the stomach.
The pH value for gastric juices is increased.Correct answer - The cardiac sphincter does not close tightly.
Acid reflux occurs when gastric juices, which otherwise stay inside the stomach, flow backward into the esophagus because the cardiac sphincter does not close tightly.
When calculating population growth, which of the following equations is appropriate?
(Emigrants - immigrants) + (births - deaths)
(Immigrants - emigrants) + (births - deaths)
(Births + deaths) - (emigrants + immigrants) (Births - deaths) - (immigrants + emigrants)Correct answer - (Immigrants - emigrants) + (births - deaths)
This calculation correctly adds the difference between people entering (immigration and births) and leaving the population (emigrants and deaths).
Which of the following is true of enzyme-catalyzed reactions?

The enzyme raises the activation energy of the reaction.Correct answer - The enzyme is not consumed in the reaction.
The enzyme lowers the energy required to initiate the reaction without being consumed in the process.
