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.

Why was miasma theory replaced?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Miasma theory was replaced because John Snow collected data that showed that germs cause disease.

Explanation:

The theory of miasma was proposed in the past when some scientists —like doctors Thomas Sydenham and Giovanni Maria Lancisi— thought that disease was the product of emanations originated by the decomposition of organic matter. This theory was based on the fact that diseases predominated in places with poor hygienic conditions.

John Snow, an english physician, was one of the main contributors to the <u>microbial theory of disease</u>. In 1854, while a cholera epidemic was occurring, he collected data and organized it statistically and then concluded that the disease was caused by germs present in drinking water. This <u>data was contrary to the miasma theory, which would eventually be displaced by the microbial theory of the disease</u>.

How is the simulation different from the real world? Explain in 3 or more sentences.
Aleks [24]
Simulations generally involve a simple design. In contrast, the world is a very complex system. Many events, such as how we farm, can disrupt the world's delicate balance. Simulations do not take into account the varied interactions that affect events in the real world.

Interesting facts about rainforest biome

2. There are two different types of rainforests, and they include both temperate and tropical. The tropical rainforests are the ones that are most commonly found around the world.

3. A fifth of our fresh water is found in tropical rainforests, the Amazon Basin to be exact.

4.  Within four square miles of tropical rainforest, you will find 1500 flowering plant species, 750 types of trees, and many of these plants can be helpful in combating cancer.

5. Rainforests are threatened each and every day, especially by practices such as agriculture, ranching, logging and mining.

Hope this helps!
