Answer:

brain, cephalization

Explanation:

Cephalization is an evolutionary mechanism which led to the concentration of nerve ganglia, sense organs and mouth at animal's front end giving rise to a head region. Clustering of nerve ganglia in head produced the brain region.

It is a trend adopted in more advanced organisms due to movement and bilateral symmetry. Three groups of animals show cephalization: arthropods (insects), cephalopod molluscs (octopus, squid) and vertebrates (mammals, birds, fishes). Cephalization has been studied extensively in vertebrates. As the groups advance in vertebrates, the brain becomes more elaborate and complex.

Cathy hypothesized that corn would not grow in mud. To test this hypothesis, she took corn kernels and placed 5 in mud, 3 in soi
Softa [21]
The seeds she planted in the mud grew quicker because the mud is holding nutrition for the corn. The soil is a good guess to make, but the mud is more dense and moist. The water wouldn't have had more nutrients than the mud, just because the mud holds breakdown matter and other things from other plants.

Is the temperature profile in the thermosphere more like that of the troposphere or the stratosphere?
podryga [215]

The correct answer is: stratosphere.

This is because their temperatures are rising instead of decreasing.

There are 4 primary layers of the atmosphere on Earth:  

Troposphere (6-20km), the layer that we live in, where the weather occurs. Only nitrogen and oxygen present.

Stratosphere  (20-50 km), where the airplanes fly, contains the ozone layer, which absorbs harmful radiation from the sun.

Mesosphere (50-85 km), the coldest region of Earth’s atmosphere (-100 C), protective layer

Thermosphere (80-690), the hottest (1500 C) and the thickest layer which consists of the ionosphere and the exosphere.
