Answer;
-Glucose
An energy-rich organic compound needed by organisms is glucose
Explanation;
-Glucose is a simple sugar or carbohydrate that is used by the cell during cellular respiration to generate energy in the form ATP, which is the usable form of energy by the cells.
-Carbohydrates or sugars are energy-rich organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Plant cells store excess energy in molecules of starch, while animals store excess energy in molecules of glycogen.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is related to the positive feedback/reward system of mammal brains. Higher amounts of dopamine released in response to any stimulation will result in a stronger desire to recreate that stimulus. One could say that the extra dopamine released during drug use causes the brain to desire using the drug again to receive that same pleasurable reward sensation. <span />
Answer:
The correct option is B <em>Pressure-sensitive baroreceptors uses tonic receptors which adapt slowly to the stimulus</em>
Explanation:
a. The thalamus receives stimulus from all of the five senses (sight, smell, taste, hear, touch). FALSE. Olfactory information is not sent to the thalamus for its process. The rest is.
b. Pressure-sensitive baroreceptors uses tonic receptors which adapt slowly to the stimulus. TRUE. Among the different types of tonic receptors, we may find baroreceptors, irritation receptors, tactile receptors, and proprioceptors. Tonic receptors characterize by their slow adaptation to the stimulus. The first discharge is maximal when the stimulus is received and then it progressively decreases. They send a continuous signal to the CNS.
c. The three layers that the retina is made of: photoreceptors, bipolar cells, rod cells. FALSE. There are in fact three layers in the retina: photoreceptors, bipolar cells, and ganglion cell layers. NOT rod cells.
d. The sense of smell uses phasic receptors which continuously fire as long as the stimulus is present. FALSE. Olfactive sense uses phasic receptors, but not continuously. These receptors shoot when they receive the stimulus, and then cease if the stimulus keeps constant.
Answer:
the correct answers are as follows
12:
b. Testcross- an organism with dominant phenotype but unknown genotype is crossed with homozygous recessive organism for the same trait. Based on the results obtained, if all offsprings have the same phenotype, then the parent is homozygous, but when a 1:1 ratio is observed in the offsprings, then the parent is heterozygous.
13.
e. Watson and Crick- they both used the crystallographic images from Franklin, analyzed them to first elucidate the 3D structure of the DNA and propose it to the world.
14.
c. Intracellular and commonly found in the cytoplasm- the receptors of steroid hormones are generally present within the target cell either in the cytoplasm or nucleus, since they alter gene expression.

e. Certain prokaryotes/bacteria- this is a process that will enable disease-causing pathogens to communicate and cooperate with their group, by the release of autoinducers that increase their cell density.
