Know the terms refraction, reflection and absorption as they refer to the movement of light waves

Biology
1 answer:
IrinaK [193]3 years ago
8 0
Three cases happen when a light wave strikes an object. Light waves can either be: absorbed, reflected or refracted. The differences are as follows:

a. Absorption - light stops at the object causing it to appear dark or opaque.
b. Reflection - this could happen either in a smooth or rough surface. On a smooth surface, for example mirror or glass, light bounces off the surface at angle equal to the incoming light wave. On a rough surface e.g. earth, light bounces at many angles because the surface is uneven.
c. Refraction - light goes through the object and bends at an angle. Typical thing you see when diamond  or water is struck by light.

aev [14]

Answer: C

Explanation:

If immigration and emigration numbers remain equal, decreased birthrate could cause a slowed growth rate .

Decreased birthrate always affects the numbers in terms of population.The less births there are, the smaller the number of people. Even if the death rate remains constant a decreased birthrate will slow growth of population.

The anterior pituitary receives hypothalamic input through the portal blood supply. what is the advantage of this type of anatom
kotegsom [21]

The advantage of this type of anatomical relationship is that this enables the pituitary to receive signals before sending hormones to the rest of the body through the blood.

The anterior pituitary, a significant component of the endocrine system, is the glandular anterior lobe that, along with the posterior lobe (also known as the posterior pituitary or neurohypophysis), constitutes the pituitary gland (hypophysis).

Stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation are just a few of the physiological activities that the anterior pituitary controls.

Blood tests that assess hormone levels are frequently used to determine if the anterior pituitary and the organs it controls are functioning properly.

The hypothalamus-hypophyseal portal veins deliver hypothalamic releasing and inhibitory hormones directly to the anterior pituitary gland.

Certain hormones from the hypothalamus bind to receptors on particular anterior pituitary cells, controlling how much of the hormone they generate is released.
