The correct option is IPSILATERAL. The anatomical path of a reflex is called reflex arc. An ipsilateral reflex arc is one in which the motor output occur on the same side of the body where the stimulus is detected. Apart from ipsilateral reflex arc, there are other two types, which are conlateral and intersegmental reflex arc.
The environmental benefit of the leaf canopy of a tree slowing down the impact of raindrops and the root system absorbing water and holding soil in place would be that the water erosion of soil would be minimized.
The washing away of topsoil by water is termed water erosion. This event has a number of impacts on the ecosystem, including:
- reduced agricultural yields
- damages to infrastructures such as roads
- washing away into nearby water bodies can cause eutrophication
- water quality of nearby water bodies becomes impacted negatively
The leaf canopies of trees prevent raindrops from having maximum impact on soil structure while the roots of trees absorb water and also holds soil structure together to limit water erosion of the soil. This will in turn prevent negative consequences to the environment.
