Answer:

The correct answer is option B-thalamus.

Explanation:

Thalamus is a small olive shaped structure located in the brain beneath the cerebrum.

Thalamus serves as a relay station of the brain which has an important role in directing the sensory input signals to the appropriate location in the cerebral cortex of the impulses travelling from the body, ears, eyes and other senses (except for smell).

This happens as the thalamus is subdivided into a number of nuclei which deals with analyzing particular information and then sending the information from that nucleus to cerebral cortex.

Thus, option B-thalamus is the correct answer.

Answer:

The Sun *emits* white light, which is actually a composite of all of the visible frequencies of light. (A prism shows you the visible frequencies of white light.) The distribution of solar frequencies is uneven, the most intense frequency is in the yellow-green part of the spectrum.

Alenkinab [10]
The one advantage of using DNS assay to detect maltose production is the formation of a soluble and colored product compound. 
The reaction that occurs between maltose and DNS in the assay is a redox reaction (reduction and oxidation) such that maltose gets oxidized and becomes Maltonic Acid while the DNS gets reduced into reduced DNS. The  intensity of orange/brown /red color of reduced DNS is proportionately related to the amount of Maltose in the solution.

What are the primary atoms that make up the scents that we smell? 2. is scent subjective? why or why not? 3. what are the two di
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: seen below

Explanation:

1) The olfactory receptor can recognize and respond to different ordor, For humans, most odorant molecules are made up of combinations of 5 kinds of atoms: these are, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.

2) yes, scent is subjective. This is because there is likely variation in people's sensitivity to odor or personal appreciation of different odors. Not everyone smells the same thing.

3) The two proposed theories for the mechanics of scent recognition are; vibration theory and shape theory which is also called the lock and key model. The main problem with one of Turin theories is that we can't currently predict odor character from vibration any better than we can from shape. That is we are still terrible at predicting ordor character from molecular structure.

4) Science has contributed to the creation of scented products and perfumes by having chemical Mixtures Tested in labs and addition of substances for smell.

5) Scents or fragrances are used in cosmetology as perfumes, lotions, shampoos, face washes, body cream, conditioners, etc. Cosmetologist need to be aware of scents and fragrances because if a perfume had a scent that did not smell right then no one would want to purchase their product.
