Answer:
c. Damage to the primary (somatic) motor cortex results in the loss of both voluntary muscle control and all reflexive contractions.
Explanation:
The primary motor cortex is an area in the brain that is responsible for the control and regulation of activities that involves movement of the body as well as the postures they body takes which we also refer to as motor skills.
The primary motor cortex sends signals in the form of nerve impulses to the brain and this in turn helps in the maintenance of the motor skills that is carried out by the body.
Not only does the damage to the primary (somatic) motor cortex results in the loss of both voluntary muscle control and all reflexive contractions, it also causes other losses such as constant contraction of the muscles also know as spasticity, involuntary muscle contraction also referred to as clonus.
Answer: the rate of pollination of flower, in a field next to a pond with no fish, will DECREASE.
Explanation:
POLLINATION is defined as the process by which flowering plants, through the aid of external agents such as insects,wind, water and other animals, are able to transfer pollen grains from an anther to a receptive stigma. Insects are the most common pollinators. They visit flowers to obtain nectar and pollen as source of food. Flowers use various features, such as colour and scent, to attract and guide insects to the food source within them. In the process of reaching their source of food, insects bring about pollination.
From the study conducted by scientist in Florida, eight(8) ponds where subjected to the the study. The first four (4) ponds had species of fishes that fed on dragonflies and dragonfly larvae, hence the reason for a decrease in the population of the dragon flies in the area around it. While the remaining four (4) ponds had NO fish and the area around it is populated with dragonflies and dragonfly larvae. This is so because of the absence of fish.
It was then noted that the dragon lies fed of the insect pollinators such as the bees and butterflies. Since these dragonflies and its larvae are abundant in the field which is close to the pond with no fish, they will grossly depend on the insect pollinators as their source of food thereby decreasing the rate of pollination in the field next to the pond with no fish.
