A reflex action is an instantaneous automatic reaction to a stimulus, typically a pain stimulus. The peripheral nervous system's elements carry out the action. In order for a person to be aware of what has happened, information is sent from the lower portions of the brain to the higher areas once the event is completed.

The reflex arc is the path that a nerve impulse takes when performing a reflex action. The reflex arc's elements are receptors, sensory neuron, inter neuron, motor neuron, effector organ.

Could there be winds without differential heating? Using evidence from Unit 5 explain what differential heating is and whether t
Nataliya [291]

Differential heating is responsible for the wind patterns across the globe.

Differential heating is defined as the difference in heating of air on the land versus water. Sea breezes occur when land heats up faster than water which rises and creates a low pressure system. The high pressure air from the sea influxes is responsible for the creation of a sea breeze.

Unequal heating of the Earth's surface is responsible for the formation of large global wind patterns. Warm air rises at the equator and moves toward the poles while on the other hand, the cooler air rises at the poles and moves back toward the equator so in this way the earth’s global wind patterns occurs so we can say that differential heating is responsible for the wind patterns across the globe.

Which of the following statements is true of selective toxicity?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

c. selective toxicity takes advantage of structural and/or metabolic differences between host and pathogen

Explanation:

Selective toxicity is the mechanism by which antibiotics work. They cause damage to the pathogen but do not harm the host. Hence, they are selectively toxic in their mechanism. They can target both the structural or the metabolic differences between host and pathogen. Many antibiotics target unique sites in the pathogen's structure or the sites which might be present in host cells too but are not essential for the survival of the host. An example of structural difference being targeted by antibiotics is the enzymes which synthesis the bacterial cell wall so that the cell wall is disrupted. A metabolic difference being targeted would be the mechanism by which bacteria replicates so that host cell replication process is not hindered.

How is thermal energy transferred during convection​
Anton [14]

Ans:

This is through the movement of fluid particles from one place to another

Explanation:

when particles are heated they tend to absorb energy increasing  there kinetic energy causing them to move hence there is transfer in energy from one place to another

It is also the reason for the up and down movement of fluids by heat transfer
