The synaptic pruning during childhood results in a reduction in density of nerve cells, thus increasing the brain's efficiency.
<span>Synaptic pruning, which can include both axon and dendrite pruning, is the process of synapse elimination that occurs usually in early childhood. It is thought that this is the brain’s way of removing connections in the brain that are no longer needed and a way of maintaining more efficient brain function.</span>

List several processes in cell metabolism where diffusion is important
fiasKO [112]
<span>One process wherein diffusion is important is the concentration of salt within a cell. When the salt levels are too high within the cell, salt molecules are moving via diffusion to a region of lower concentration. Another process is the movement of carbon dioxide in plant cells, where CO2 moves from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration.</span>

What do high and low air pressure systems mean in terms of density?
Arada [10]

<span>There are two physical differences between Low pressure systems and </span>High pressure systems.

First, is the circulation surrounding them.

Secondly, is the atmospheric motion that they cause.

Low pressure systems circulate counter-clockwise. High pressure systems circulate clockwise. These "motions" are the building blocks in our atmosphere. They give us our weather.

A Low’s counter-clockwise circulation forces air upward (ultimately resulting in condensation, cloud formation and ultimately precipitation). A High’s clockwise circulation causes a sinking motion in the atmosphere, resulting in fair/clearer and often sunnier skies.

Describe five good reasons why we should not use GMOs?Support each reason with an example of GMOs used.
Vesna [10]
Here’s one! Huge farming companies genetically modified foods to withstand round up. You might know round up as a weed killer. It’s marketed safe with no harming chemicals to humans. That is completely wrong and have been proven to cause many chronic illnesses including cancer. These foods are modified to not react with round up and only to kill the weeds all around the plants. Even though the food looks ok it’s really not. The round up is all over the food. Then we eat it and well bad chemicals get absorbed into are body.

I hope this is some of what you were looking for. If not I hope you enjoyed my fun fact ;) good luck.
