"The half of the Moon that points toward the Sun looks bright because it is lit by sunlight. The Moon appears to change shape because we see different amounts of the lit part as the Moon orbits Earth. ... As it moves around Earth, more and more of the lit side comes into view."

Mixed cranial nerves containing both motor and sensory fibers include all except which of the following?
Fed [463]

Answer:

Answer is option D.

Olfactory nerve is a sensory cranial nerve.

Explanation:

Nerves are the part of peripheral nervous system, which transmit signals from brain or spinal cord (central nervous system) to the different parts of the body and vice versa.

Based on the direction of signal transmission, they are classified into three groups;  sensory nerves (afferent nerves) pass signals from sensory receptors (pain, pressure, temperature etc) in various parts of the body to the central nervous system, motor nerves (efferent nerves) transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands all throughout the body, mixed nerves contain both sensory and motor fibers which conduct both sensory information and muscle commands throughout the body.

Based on where they are connected to the central nervous system, they are classified into two groups; spinal nerves connected to the spinal cord and cranial nerves attached to the brain.  All the 31 spinal nerves are combined sensory and motor axons.

Of the 12 cranial nerves, three are sensory nerves, four are motor nerves and five are mixed nerves. The sensory cranial nerves are olfactory (smell), optic (vision) and acoustovestibular (hearing and balance) nerves.  The motor cranial nerves are trochlear (controls the superior oblique muscle of the eyeball), abducens (controls the lateral rectus muscle of the eyeball), accessory (controls the trapezius muscle in the back and shoulders), hypoglossal (controls the muscles of the throat and helps in swallowing) nerves.  The five mixed cranial nerves are occulomotor, trigeminal, facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves.

You live in a city in Florida on the Gulf of Mexico and are trying to figure out why the water at the beaches turned bright gree
Anestetic [448]

Blue-green algae affect freshwater, and it has a direct correlation to agricultural and urban runoff.

The heavy rains last spring most likely caused Lake Okeechobee to discharge water containing blue-green algae into rivers and canals. The bright green sludge oozed onto docks, dams and rivers and through tributaries into the ocean.

Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) are a group of prokaryotic, autotrophic microorganisms that contain the photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll and phycocyanin), Therefore, the DNA shows bacteria

Bacteria is the correct answer

Compared to the inertia of a 1-kilogram mass, the
avanturin [10]

Answer:

D. 4 times as great

Explanation:

The inertia of an object is the resistance offered by the object to change in its motion or position.

Then concept of inertia is obtained from Newton's first law of motion which states that an object which is not subjected to any net external force will remain its position of rest or constant velocity of motion until some net external force acts on it. The object at rest will then start to move whereas the object moving at constant velocity will experience a change in its speed or direction of motion.

This reluctance to change position is greater, the more massive an object is as well as the higher the speed of motion of the object. Thus, inertia is directly proportional to the mass of the object as well to the velocity of an object in motion.

From Newton's first law, inertia can be calculated as the force to be overcome to mobile an object, i.e. Inertia = F = ma

Where m is mass of object, a = acceleration of the object.

Objects on the earth's surface experience a constant acceleration, g.

Thus for a 1 kg mass, Inertia = 1 × g

For a 4 kg mass, inertia = 4 × g

The inertia of a 4 kg mass is four times as great as a 1 kg mass.

Protein supplies approximately __________ percent of a human's typical energy needs.
andreyandreev [35.5K]
A human needs approximately 2-5 percent of protein for the typical energy needed daily. Protein is one of the most important building blocks in the body. It helps the bones, muscles, skin, blood, and cartilage. A humans nails and hair are made of protein. The protein your body uses also repairs tissues and build new ones.
