"A neuron in the aorta detects oxygen content in the blood and relays this information to the brain. This neuron is an afferent fiber in the peripheral nervous system."

A branch of the vagus nerve is the aortic nerve. It provides peripheral baroreceptors and chemoreceptors located in the aortic arch with autonomic afferent nerve fibers. "The tenth cranial nerve is the vagus nerve." Except for the first and the second cranial nerve which is the part of the central nervous system the rest of the cranial nerves are a part of the peripheral nervous system.

Since this nerve fiber detects the oxygen content in the blood and relays this information to the brain it serves a sensory function. These nerves are known as the afferent nerves that transmit the impulse towards the information processing center.

Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The correct answer is C and Engelmann conducted this experiment to prove relationship between algae and the rate of photosynthesis.

Explanation: First we must talk about 3 facts:

1) Prism scatters the white light into different wavelengths.

2) Photosynthesis, 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water molecules are consumed and 6 oxygen and 1 sugar molecule is synthesized using light energy.

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

3) Aerobic bacteria breaks down sugar while using oxygen and produces water and carbon dioxide in simplified terms.

So with this experimental setup a researcher can understand the rate of the photosynthesis by increased accumulation of aerobic bacteria near algae  in certain wavelengths since they uses oxygen and tend to move close to the oxygen source (<u>see figure</u>). In this experiment there are no ways to measure heat (B), there is no known relation between wavelength of light and aerobic respiration since it can happen even in the dark (A) and finally there are no ways to measure carbon dioxide (D).

In what ways do cells use energy
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Image result for In what ways do cells use energy

Cells do not use the energy from oxidation reactions as soon as it is released. Instead, they convert it into small, energy-rich molecules such as ATP and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), which can be used throughout the cell to power metabolism and construct new cellular components.
