Answer:

Yes. It's alive.

Explanation:

According to the characteristics of life, for something to be considered a living being, it needs to be able to reproduce, evolve, present metabolism, respond to stimuli, possess cells and have genetic material.

A bush in my yard has all these characteristics, since this bush is a vegetable, which indicates that it has cells and genetic material, which can be passed on to its descendants through the production of gametes for reproduction. In addition, this plant goes through the process of photosynthesis (metabolism), responds to stimuli (grows towards sunlight) and evolves through time.

What happens when the parasympathetic nervous system is activated
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Body functions stimulated by the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) include sexual arousal, salivation, lacrimation, urination, digestion, and defecation. The PSNS primarily uses acetylcholine as its neurotransmitter. Peptides (such as cholecystokinin) may also act on the PSNS as neurotransmitters. The parasympathetic nervous system is composed mainly of the cranial and sacral spinal nerves.

How do the nervous system and endocrine system differ in regards to managing homeostasis?
Citrus2011 [14]
Hello friend!!
The biggest difference between the two is that the nervous system uses electrical impulses to send signals through neurons, whereas the hormonal system uses chemical messengers transported into blood plasma to target cells. 
Transmission by the nervous system is short-lived but quick, whereas transmission by the hormonal system is long-lasting but takes much longer. Hene, communication is faster when using the nervous system. 
In the nervous system, responses are localised - whereas in the hormonal system, they are widespread. Responses are often permanent in the hormonal system, but temporary and reversible in the nervous system.

Why is volcanic soil (andisol) very fertile? a. It is rich in minerals from volcanic deposits. b. It is a young soil with low wa
Archy [21]

The right option is; a. It is rich in minerals from volcanic deposits.

Volcanic soil (andisol) is a light and fluffy soil that is formed from volcanic ash and cinder deposits. Volcanic soil is very fertile because it is highly composed of non-crystalline minerals, such as allophane and imogolite from volcanic deposits. These minerals create strong bonds with organic matter which leads to the accumulation of organic matter in the soil. Volcanic soil has high water retention capability and it supports the growth of crops such as rice, maize and fruits.
