Motor (efferent) neurons carry information _____ the brain whereas sensory (afferent) neurons carry information ______ the brain
Norma-Jean [14]
Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system. They are the links so that information could be processed as electrochemical signals. There are three fundamental kinds of neurons in our body:

1. Motor neurons - they carry signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to the body parts such as muscle movement
2. Sensory neurons -  they carry signals from other body parts to the CNS
3. Interneurons - interlinking neurons between the brain and the spinal cord

Thus, the correct and complete statement above should be

<span><em>Motor (efferent) neurons carry information </em><em>from </em><em>the brain whereas sensory (afferent) neurons carry information</em><em> to</em><em> the brain.</em></span>

3. Which of the following scenarios is least likely to be associated with a population exceeding
elena55 [62]

Answer:

3. B. no new mating partners are available

7. D. best adaptations

8. C. survive and reproduce

Explanation:

Carrying capacity refers to the maximum population size of a species/population in a particular habitat. The carrying capacity depends on abiotic (e.g., shelter, water) and biotic factors (e.g., food, presence of mates). According to the evolutionary theory, individuals better adapted to their environments are more likely to survive and reproduce (i.e., produce more offspring) than other members of the same species. These 'better adapted' individuals will have more chances to pass their 'beneficial alleles' to the next generation.

Why is vinegar used in food preservation?
weqwewe [10]
Vinegar is an extremely acidic liquid. Very few microorganisms (ie bacteria and fungus which cause foods to spoil) can survive in such an acidic environment. Among other effects, it can destroy their cell walls, and prevent their own enzymes working (enzymes are extremely pH sensitive). There are a small number of microorgamisms which are adapted to survive in extreme acidity. However, this adaptation prevents them from surviving in more 'normal' environments. Therefore, anything which can survive in the vinegar, will not likely survive on your kitchen surface, and the same is true the other way around. Therefore, as vitually nothing can colonise whatever is in the vinegar, the food will be very effectively preserved. . . . . . . . . . . you can say........................ . . the low pH a nd high acidity of vinegar destroy bacteria
