The right option is; it interprets signals from the external environment
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is made up of all parts of the nervous system, except the brain and spinal cord (parts of the central nervous system). The peripheral nervous system functions as a channel through which neural signals are transferred from and to the central nervous system. Two types of neurons (sensory and motor neurons) functions in the PNS. The motor neurons transfer neural signals from the central nervous system directly to various muscles, glands, and organs (effectors) throughout the body.
Answer:
A decrease in biodiversity causes a decrease in ecosystem stability, because a change to one organism will have a greater impact on the entire ecosystem. With greater biodiversity, the loss of one type of organism could be moderated by the adaptation of other organisms to fill its role.
