Shallow groove on the surface of the cortex is called sulcus.

Cortex means the outer layer of an inner organ. The outer layer of the cerebrum is called cerebral cortex, where cerebrum occupies the biggest part of the brain. A human being has four lobes of the cerebral cortex which include temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and frontal lobe.

Cortex has six layers of different types of neurons which are responsible for higher information processing and thinking. Cerebral cortex controls general movement, behavioural reactions, perception and visceral functions. We term the grooved layer as the brain itself.Cerebral cortex consists of large amounts of sulci and gyri(sulcus and gyri in singular). The number of gyri correlates to the processing ability of the animal.A man has big gyri compared to a rat.

Organic molecules derived from vitamins that act as helpers are called

AysviL [449]

Coenzymes

Coenzymes are small organic molecules that, themselves, do not function as catalysts (i.e. enzymes) but aid the latter in carrying out their functions. Enzymes are biological catalysts, which means that they allow reactions to occur at lower activation energies. In a way, enzymes help to "speed up" chemical reactions.

Coenzymes are mostly derived from vitamins. Examples include TPP from Vitamin B1 (thiamine), FAD from Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), and NAD+ from Niacin.

Potential results from changes in global phytoplankton populations are?

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Declining populations of phytoplankton, the basis of the marine food chain, will alter the seawater hues, potentially decimating fisheries. The world's oceans are warming and growing more acidic as a result of climate change, and a provocative new study suggests they'll be changing color too.

Describe the difference between a cladogram and a phylogenetic

Genrish500 [490]

Cladograms are concerned with the way organisms are related to common ancestors through shared characteristics. Phylogenetic trees compare organisms over evolutionary time and the amount of change that has occurred over time to figure out the relationships.
