Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system. They are the links so that information could be processed as electrochemical signals. There are three fundamental kinds of neurons in our body:
1. Motor neurons - they carry signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to the body parts such as muscle movement
2. Sensory neurons - they carry signals from other body parts to the CNS
3. Interneurons - interlinking neurons between the brain and the spinal cord
Thus, the correct and complete statement above should be
<span><em>Motor (efferent) neurons carry information </em><em>from </em><em>the brain whereas sensory (afferent) neurons carry information</em><em> to</em><em> the brain.</em></span>
Answer: Gender identity
Explanation:
Gender identity is how a person sees themselves their own internal sense and personal experience of gender. Only the individual can determine their own gender identity. Gender indentity refers to the degree to which we see ourselves as feminine, masculine, transsexual or perhaps even nongender and having no gender at all. Gender identity occurs as a result of a combination of inherent and extrinsic or environmental factors; gender role, on the other hand, is manifested within society by observable factors such as behavior and impression
The correct answer is: A) pontine respiratory centers
The respiratory centre in the pons is responsible for generating and maintaining the rhythm of respiration. Besides this elementary function, it also has the ability to adjust respiration rhythm in c response to physiological changes. Respiratory centre consists of three major respiratory groups of neurons:
• The dorsal respiratory group (DRG)- initiates inspiration (inhalation)
• the ventral respiratory group (VRG)-responsible for exhalation
• Pontine respiratory group- includes the pneumotaxic (controls both the rate and the pattern of breathing) and apneustic centers (promotes inhalation by sending signals to dorsal group).
Answer: Equation for photosynthesis is carbon dioxide + water + sunlight→ Glucose + oxygen
In light dependent reactions, energy in form of solar energy is absorbed and converted to chemical energy.
Explanation: During photosynthesis, sunlight is absorbed by the light absorbing pigment called chlorophyll. The absorbed solar energy is converted into chemical energy using carbon dioxide and water as the starting materials with the release of oxygen. The equation is 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + solar energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Photosynthetic reactions are made up of two parts: the light dependent reactions and the carbon fixation reactions. In the light dependent reactions, chlorophyll and other photosynthetic pigments absorb light energy from the sun and conserve it as ATP and NADPH with a simultaneous release of oxygen. The carbon fixation reactions are driven by the products of the light dependent reactions.
