Answer:

According to the law of conservation of matter, matter is never created or destroyed but it can change from one form to another. Most of the biomass in a food web gets converted at each trophic level and it no longer remains apart of the food web. Most of the biomass is released into the atmosphere in the form of heat and hence cannot be transferred to the other trophic level. Also, matter is used up by the organism itself and converted into different forms. Most of the matter might get accumulated in the soil when the organisms of a trophic level die.

The hindbrain of the embryo develops into the pons, the medulla oblongata, part of the spinal cord, and what other structure?
Zepler [3.9K]

The hindbrain of the embryo develops into the pons, the medulla oblongata of the spinal cord and the cerebellum.

<h3>What is the cerebellum? </h3>

The cerebellum is a prominent part of the hindbrain and is located just above the brainstem. The cerebellum controls all the voluntary movements of the body and is also responsible for maintaining balance and posture.

The cerebellum is said to make up for 10% of the brain's volume but has more than 50% of the brain's total neurons.

The cerebellum is made up of two parts; a cerebral cortex, a layer made of folded tissue which contains most of the neurons and cerebral nuclei, an inner part which contains the neurons responsible for communication.

Therefore, the hindbrain develops into the pons, medulla oblongata and cerebellum.

I understand that—maybe we can work together to limit the number of times you wash them."
<span>R: The nurse shows an understanding of the client's needs by not totally restricting the handwashing and by working with the client to set limits on the behavior. At this time the client is still too anxious to be capable of coping with the reasons for handwashing. Continued handwashing does not reveal an understanding of the underlying problem, nor is it a sign of progress. Telling the client not to worry denies the client's feelings and may close off communication.</span>
