D. To process information and form a response

Answer:

The correct answer would be D. to process information and form a response.

Central nervous system (CNS) is a part of nervous system that includes brain and spinal cord.

The brain is main controlling and processing unit of the body. The brain has four lobes (temporal, occipital, Parietal, and frontal lobe) in which different stimuli are processed and responses are generated.

The spinal cord acts as a connecting link between the brain and the rest of the body with the help of peripheral nervous system.

Together, brain and spinal cord process information and control all the voluntary and involuntary movements of the body.

Please Answer!
Zepler [3.9K]

in question number 6, the correct answer is false. this is because arrow  C is representing a combustion reaction whereby hydrocarbon or organic carbon from the fossil fuel is burnt in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. this process is not conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy. in this process energy will still be stored in form of chemical energy in the bonds of carbon dioxide and water produce


in the question number 7 the correct answer is true.  this is because the green plant is using energy from the such for the process of photosynthesis. photosynthesis is a process by which green plants make their own food using energy from the light. light energy is used to split the molecules of water to oxygen and hydrogen ions. oxygen is released into the atmosphere whereas hydrogen ions are used in the dark stage of photosynthesis a process referred to as carbon fixation. the end result of carbon fixation is production of organic compounds such as glucose, protein and lipids among others. these foods store energy in form of chemical energy. so arrow A represents transfer of solar energy to chemical energy


in the question number 8, the arrows that represent the release of carbon dioxide include arrow C and arrow F. in arrow C the process occurring is referred to as combustion and it occurs when hydrocarbon in fossil fuels reaction with oxygen in the presence of heat to produce carbon dioxide and water. the arrow F represents respiration, a process by which living cells manufacture energy in form of ATP from organic food such as glucose. respiration end products include water carbon dioxide and ATP. it is essentially the reverse of photosynthesis


in question number 9, arrow E represents cycling of carbon from living organisms to non-living organisms. this is because it is showing conversion of a carbon from the dead tree to fossil fuel. when plants and animals die and buried deep in the ground, they are slowly converted to fossil fuels which contain organic hydrocarbon compounds including petrol, kerosene and other compounds.


in question number 10, arrow B & C show the conservation of energy and mass. when living organisms die they are converted to fossil fuels which are used in industries to produce energy required for various activities. during this process carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere and it is used by plants in the process of photosynthesis as shown by B. this is conservation of energy and mass the number of carbon in the fossils fuel initially came from living plants and when fossil fuel is combusted it produces carbon dioxide that will be used in the process of photosynthesis and cycle continues.

Why is it impossible for male calico cats to exist
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

genetics

Explanation:

calico cats must also inherit a gene unrelated to the X and Y chromosomes that codes for white fur. Because male cats have one X chromosome with code for black or orange and one Y chromosome with no color genes, they cannot technically be calico. About one in every 3,000 calico cats is born a male, and, unfortunately, don't live as long as female calicos due to their genetic abnormalities. XXY Syndrome renders male calicos sterile and can be the root cause of many other health problems

How are ice caps formed?
Eva8 [605]
Ice caps form because high-latitude regions receive less energy in the form of solar radiation from the Sun than equatorial regions, resulting in lower surface temperatures.
