Nervous system involves transmission of impulses from the receptors to the effector cells. it involves the detection of the stimuli by the receptor cells (includes the skin,eyes,mouth), then the stimuli is carried by the sensory neurone (joins the receptor cells and the spinal cord) to the central nervous system (the spinal cord), then the impulse is picked by the relay neurone and taken to the brain for processing, where the brain interprates the stimuli and sends a response. then the relay neurone from the brain joins to the motor neurone which connects the brain and the effector cells. The motor neurone carries the message to the effector cells (muscles and the glands), and finally a response is experienced in the specific place of the body by either movement of body muscles or secretions by the glands.

if the ratio of the ages of kisii and esinam is 3:5 and that of Esinam and Larry is 3:5 and the sum of the ages of all three is

larisa [96]

Answer:

The age difference between the oldest and the youngest is 48.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

The ratio of the ages of Kisii (K) and Esinam (E) is 3:5.

The ratio of the ages of Esinam (E) and Larry (L) is 3:5.

The sum of the ages of all three is 147.

Since the age of Esinam is common in both ratios, we find the lowest common multiple (LCM);

LCM of 3,5 = 15.

Hence, the ratio of the three ages is now;

K:E:L = 9:15:25

Let their ages be denoted by x;

$K:E:L = 9x:15x:25x$

The sum of all three ages is;

9x + 15x + 25x = 147

49x = 147

x = 147/49

x = 3.

To find the age difference between the oldest and the youngest;

The oldest is Esinam = 25x

The youngest is Kisii = 9x

Therefore, 25x - 9x = 16x

Substituting the value of x, we have;

x = 3; 16x = 16(3) = 48.

The age difference between the oldest and the youngest is 48.

3 ways humans have cut and frayed the woven tapestry of earths biodiversity

WITCHER [35]

Three ways that humans have cut and frayed the woven tapestry of earths biodiversity:

1. Landscaping. By landscaping, living things such as trees are eliminated to make way for the construction of buildings. And thus, disrupting the ecosystem.

2. Adding cement to the ocean to increase the land surface area by excavating soil from the maintains.

3. Cutting of trees.
