Biology

8 0

Explanation:

Living organisms in the biosphere release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during cellular respiration. This carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves into the hydrosphere mainly oceans and lakes at the interphase between the atmosphere and hydrosphere. The dissolved carbon dioxide can be utilized again by photosynthetic planktons through photosynthesis. The plankton from the base of a large food web in the marine environment creating large biomasses. When these organisms die, they sink to the bottom of the oceans or lakes taking carbon to the bottom of the oceans. The biomass accumulates with sediments and over many years becomes part of the geosphere as sedimentary rocks.

The rocks may become exposed to the earth’s surface over millions years by tectonic plants. The exposed rocks will become vulnerable to agents of erosion that will unlock the carbon-based minerals in the rocks so they become available to plants and other organisms in the biosphere..and the cycle continues.

Which statement about neural reflex arcs is incorrect? Which statement about neural reflex arcs is incorrect? Their function is
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The incorrect statement is that the neural reflex arc becomes slow by the hormones involved.

Explanation:

A neural pathway that controls a reflex is known as a reflex arc. In a reflex arc, the sensory neuron transmits a signal to the interneuron and stimulates it. The interneuron then transmits or passes the signal to the next neuron, that is, a motor neuron. The motor neuron associates with the interneurons in the spinal cord, which transmits messages from the CNS to the body. Thus, a reflex arc comprises the elements, that is, the receptor, integrating center, and the effector. Their main activity is to protect the body from external events.
