It's not alive, nor is it even an organic compound.
- It cannot respond to stimuli (Responsiveness)
- It cannot secrete hormones (Secretion)
- It cannot send messages along a nervous system or anything similar (Conductivity)
- It cannot break down compounds to usable energy forms (Digestion)
- It cannot absorb broken down compounds as an energy source (Absorption)
- It cannot reproduce (Reproduction)
- It cannot grow--it has no cells (Growth)
- It cannot exchange gases between cells (Respiration)
- It cannot rid itself of waste material (Excretion)
Answer:
<u> C) Each type of sensory receptor responds only to the stimulus that defines the receptor</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
Neurons, specialized cells within the nervous system. These help with coordinated movement ad communication within the body through the transmission of electrical signals.
Sensory receptors are highly specialized neurons. These are able to detect various chemical and physical stimuli, and are classified by their ability to detect certain stimuli such as:
- photoreceptors
- mechanoreceptors
- chemoreceptors
- thermoreceptors
Sensory receptors respond to certain intensities of stimuli, instead of one specific stimulus. e.g. Mechanoreceptors within the skin can respond to pressure changes due to touch, but may also detect sound due to specific vibrations.
Proper nutrition promotes growth, leads to health and longevity, and promotes intellectual growth by affecting the brain and psyche.
Nature in general refers to the phenomenon of the physical world as well as life; It also extends from subatomic particles to the universe itself.
