If someone spills very hot coffee on their skin, they will likely perceive much pain. The type of receptor that is causing this sensation is the Nociceptor.

The skin, joints, respiratory system, and gastrointestinal tract are just a few of the peripheral tissues that are heavily innervated by nociceptors, a specific group of sensory neurons that mediates pain.

There are numerous subsets of nociceptors, and they can react to noxious mechanical, chemical, or thermal stimuli.

By inducing pain and promoting avoidance, nociceptors are sensory neurons that shield organisms from danger.

Many forms of inflammation and damage are also accompanied by pain.

Nociceptor neurons and the immune system actively interact to control inflammation, host defense, and pain. Immune cells in the spinal cord and at the ends of peripheral nerves release mediators that control mechanical and temperature sensitivity.

The complete question is:

If someone spills very hot coffee (200 0f on their skin, they will likely perceive much pain. which of the following receptor types is causing this sensation?

(A). mechanoreceptors

(B). thermoreceptors

(C). chemoreceptors

(D). nociceptors

REY [17]

Answer:

D) The fungicide will reduce the stability of the ecosystem because nutrients in the soil will be less likely to be recycled, directly impacting plant nutrition and growth.

Explanation:

Fungicide are primarily applied to an area to kill off fungi species in that place.

Fungi are very important groups of organisms. They are natural "recyclers".

In a food chain or web they can be classified as decomposers.

Decomposers are organisms that takes feeds on dead and decaying organic matter.

The produce useful materials and releases nutrients from life back into nature.

Killing them off by applying fungicides is a damaging act to their sustenance.

Without decomposers such as fungi, the ecosystem becomes less stable  and soil nutrients will not be properly recycled.
