5 0

Sensory information

The somatosensory cortex is a structure located in the middle of the brain on both the right and left hemispheres. The somatosensory cortex is responsible for processing information we receive from all our senses, including:

1. Visual information- what we see
2. Auditory information- what we hear
3. Kinaesthetic information- what we can touch or feel
4. Olfactory information- what we can smell
5. Information from our taste buds

Match these terms with their descriptions

Pani-rosa [81]

1. water temperature of lakes and rivers rise - nuclear power plant. Water is used as a coolant to maintain the temperature of nuclear reactors. and the resulting water is warmed up.

2.carbon monoxide pollutes air - internal combustion engine. Internal combustion engines release fumes of carbon monoxide.

3. fly ash of soot in air - coal-burning power plant. Coal burning plants release ash produced in small dark flecks.

4. soil contamination of water resources - DDT spraying in agriculture. DDT washes off agricultural land into water resources.

5. sewage contamination of water resources -population density. Urban areas produce a low of sewage, which is usually treated before being disposed of in rivers or the sea.

6. excess plant growth in the lakes or rivers - phosphate detergents. In many rivers, algal growth is limited by phosphate. Once excess phosphate is released to rivers, exponential algal growth can occur.

7.reduces farmland and plant life to cleanse air - urban sprawl. Urban sprawl uses up land for houses in an inefficient manner that could have been used for farming or natural areas.

8. studies air,water, and land - ecologist. Ecology is the study of relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.

Round pea allele R is dominant to wrinkled pea allele r, while yellow pea allele Y is dominant to green pea allele y. Homozygous

allsm [11]

Answer:

RrYy (F1 generation)

Explanation:

This is a typical dihybrid cross involving two genes in the pea plant; one coding for seed colour and the other for seed shape.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, an allele is capable of masking another allele in a gene, the allele that masks or is expressed is called the DOMINANT allele while the allele being masked is called RECESSIVE allele.

Homozygosity of a gene refers to it having the same type of alleles while heterozygosity refers to having different alleles.

In this example, allele for Round (R) and Yellow (Y) pea is dominant over the allele for Wrinkled (r) and green pea respectively.

Homozygous round green pea (RRyy) crossed with Homozygous wrinkled yellow (rrYY) will give rise to a heterozygous round yellow (RrYy) F1 offsprings.

Place the steps involved in burning coal to create electricity in the correct order.

butalik [34]

Answer and Explanation:

Coal is burned: Electrical Centrals burn coal with which they get enough heat. The coal might be pulverized to increase the effective combustion area.
Water boils, creating steam. The heat generated by the burning coal is used to create water vapor that rises and moves turbines. This occurs when water passing through some tubes is heated by the hot gases coming from the burning coal, turning it into high-pressure steam.
Moving steam turns turbines. The high-pressure steam is taken to turbines where it expands and moves the rotor which is the moving part of the turbines.
Turbines generate electrical energy. The turbines are connected to a generator that transforms the energy produced by the rotor into electricity.

What ensures that the correct amino acid is added during translation?

dsp73

Answer:

thanks to the genetic code, this allows cells to decode an mRNA in an amino acid chain

Transfer RNAs, or tRNAs, connect the mRNA codons with the amino acids for which they encode. One end of each tRNA has a three nucleotide sequence called anticodon, which can be attached to a specific codon of the messenger RNA. The other end of tRNA carries the amino acid that specifies the codon that is present in the messenger RNA
