The naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals and organic matter is known as a Rock.

A rock is a naturally occurring substances that is a solid mixture of one or more minerals together with organic matter.

<h2>Further Explanation;</h2>
  • Rocks are classified based on the chemical composition, texture and the way they are formed.  One type of rock may change from one form to another through a rock cycle.
  • Rock cycle is the process through each various rocks change from one form to another, normally an interchange between the three major types of rocks.

There are three major classification of rocks:

<h3>Sedimentary rocks </h3>
  • Sedimentary rocks are types of rocks that are formed through accumulation of sediments at low temperatures in tectonic layers and sinks. These sediments includes; pebbles, shells, sand and other material fragments.  
  • The sediments accumulates in layers and then harden into rocks over a period of time.
  • Examples of sedimentary rocks include; limestone and conglomerate
<h3>Metamorphic rocks</h3>
  • These are types of rocks that are formed as a result of changes that occurs due to intense heat and pressure under the surface of the earth. They result from action of heat and pressure on other rocks that pre-existed.
  • These types of rocks are characterized by shiny crystals, ribbon-like layers among other features.
  • Examples of metamorphic rocks are marble and gneiss

<h3>Igneous rocks </h3>
  • These are types of rocks that are formed as a result hardening and cooling of magma from volcanic eruptions. Magma may cool inside the earth or when on the surface of the earth as a result of volcanic eruptions. The lava from this eruptions cools and hardens to form metamorphic rocks.
  • Igneous rocks are glass-like and shiny with no crystals. They may also have tiny spaces and holes due to gas bubbles trapped during the cooling process.
  • Examples of igneous rocks include obsidian and basalt.
  • The three types of rocks may be further classified in terms of chemical composition, texture and formation.

Key words: Rocks, types of rocks, chemical composition

Answer:

<em>1. The characteristic thing about </em><em>adult frog breathing</em><em> is that </em><em>drawing in air by lowering their mouth floor</em><em> (option d).</em>

<em>2. The substance released by the </em><em>lung secretory cells </em><em>is the </em><em>surfactant </em><em>(option c).</em>

<em>3. The main divisions of the </em><em>peripheral nervous system</em><em> are the </em><em>somatic and autonomic systems</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

<h3>1. Breathing of the adult frog</h3>

The adult frog - while out of the water - uses a nasal breath, propelling air into its throat and oral cavity. The air content in the frog's mouth causes the internal pressure of the cavity to increase, and the floor of the mouth is modified to allow the passage of air to the lungs.

Under water, the frog's breath is cutaneous, that is, through its skin.

Adult frogs do not have gills or respiratory muscles.

<h3 /><h3>2. Pulmonary surfactant </h3>

Pulmonary surfactant is a substance produced and secreted by the pulmonary epithelium, specifically by type II pneumonocytes. The function of the surfactant is to keep the pulmonary alveoli open to allow gas exchange.

The surfactant is a substance of a lipidic and proteic nature that helps reduce the surface tension of the water, which in the socket prevents closure when the air is exhaled.

Another function is to prevent the germs - viruses and bacteria - present in the air from passing from the alveolus to the bloodstream.

<h3 /><h3>3. Divisions of the peripheral nervous system</h3>

The peripheral nervous system is dependent on the central nervous system and is made up of all the nerves that go to each of the tissues and organs of the body. It is divided into somatic and autonomic nervous systems.

  1. <u>Somatic nervous system</u> is composed of nerves that drive nerve impulses to skeletal muscles, being predominantly voluntary. The involuntary response in this system is due to the existence of reflex arcs, whose center of integration is the spinal cord.
  2. <u>Autonomic nervous system</u> is responsible for the innervation of coughs the internal organs, allowing their function under the coordination of the central nervous system. It is an involuntary system and is subdivided into sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.

The integration of both systems, somatic and autonomic, allows a body to perform all its functions, including the function of relationship, alertness and maintenance of organic homeostasis.

What happens once a person is infected with a heprevirus?
hram777 [196]
<span>Herpesviridae is a large family of DNA viruses that cause diseases in animals, including humans.

When a person infected once, his immune system develops antidot against the virus, so he becomes immune for that virus for rest of his life. In other words, he can't be affected from that virus again

Hope this helps!</span>
