The function of somatic nervous system is to connect the brain and the spinal cord to the rest of the body.  

Option A

<u>Explanation</u>:  

The "Somatic nervous system" is division of "peripheral nervous system". Somatic nervous system has two categories of neurons which differ in their mode of impulse transmission these are afferent neurons that carries the signal from sensory receptors of the body to the central nervous system (CNS) and efferent neurons that carries the nerve impulses from the CNS to the other parts of body which have voluntary muscles hence forming a reflex arc. Afferent neurons (sensory neurons) and efferent neurons (motor neurons) are only involved in controlling the voluntary muscles.

What interactions are occurring that allow the water to move against gravity in capillary action? Select three options.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Adhesion and surface tension

Explanation:

Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to rise or fall in a narrow tube. Two main terms are required to explain capillary action; adhesion and cohesion.

Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same kind while adhesion is the force of attraction between molecules of different kinds.

Forces of adhesion causes water to move up in a capillary tube. The water is held as it rises by surface tension forces acting on the circumference of the meniscus. The water keeps rising in the tube until the weight of the water drawn up in the tube balances the surface tension acting at the top column of the water.

How does our understanding of genetics today refute lamarck's principle of the inheritance of acquired characteristics?
likoan [24]
Genetical experiments suggest that traits acquired during a person's lifetime are not inherited as proposed by Lamarck's theory that traits acquired or changed over an individual's lifetime could be passed on to its offspring. Through experiments, scientists through many observations and real examples that changes that often occur in an animal's life are not passed down to it's offspring.
