Explain How sunlight is the primary source of energy for you life
Daniel [21]
It radiates light and heat, or solar energy, which makes it possible for life to exist on Earth. Plants need sunlight to grow. Animals, including humans, need plants for food and the oxygen they produce. Without heat from the sun, Earth would freeze.

Peripheral resistance depends on all of the following factors except __________.
pantera1 [17]

Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:

blood vessel length

blood viscosity

blood vessel diameter

blood colloid osmotic pressure

Answer:

blood colloid osmotic pressure

Explanation:

  • Peripheral resistance is the resistance to blood flow by blood vessels.
  • It is directly proportional to blood vessel length as more the distance to travel, more will be the resistance.
  • It is also directly proportional to blood viscosity as more energy is required to push viscous material.
  • It is indirectly proportional to blood vessel diameter. More the diameter of the vessel, easier it is for the blood to pass.
  • However, it does not depend on blood colloid osmotic pressure. Colloid osmotic pressure is created by the protein components of blood and they do not have any direct impact on blood flow.

The ________ a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
densk [106]
The smaller a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
Genetic drift is an evolutionary term which refers to the random changes in a population's allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance due to the random selection of alleles from the genetic pool in each generation. Genetic drift can lead to either loss of some alleles or the fixation of others (100% frequency). The effect of genetic drift is stronger in smaller populations. This is because, the larger the population, the larger the sample size and the slower the result of genetic drift.

Which human body systems are involved in thermoregulation
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: The nervous system of human body is responsible for thermoregulation.

Explanation:

Thermoregulation is the process whereby an organism maintain its internal temperature despite changes in External temperature. The nervous system of human body is responsible for thermo regulation. The nervous system consist of nerves cells and fibres which send nerves impulses to the body parts. It comprises of central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. The centsl nervous system consist of brain and spinal cord while the peripheral nervous system consist of nerves. A part of the brain (central nervous system)called hypothalamus controls thermo regulation. When it senses a change in internal temperature of the body, its send signals to the organs, muscles, glands and nervous system , they respond differently so as to restore the body temperature to its normal one.
