Answer:

Posterior column mediates a pathway called as posterior column medial lemniscus pathway in central nervous which is responsible for mediating certain sensations like touch, vibration etc. Damage to the left posterior column unable to transmit signals to the primary somatosensory cortex in the gyrus and parietal lobe of the brain.

Explanation:

The spinal cord and cerebrum is connected by some specialized tract called as white matter tract. These tracts are either ascending or descending.

The another name of ascending pathway is known as medial lemniscus pathway.

The origin of this pathway takes place within posterior column of the spinal cord.

Posterior column medial lemniscus pathway is important as it transmit signals to the cerebrum which is responsible for generating impulse like vibration, touch etc.

Thus damage to this column can't be able to transmit signals to different parts of cerebrum and thus impulse like touch, vibration,pressure etc will not generate.

If a course includes an online textbook/e-book under which link can it be found?

Murrr4er [49]

The correct answer option is C. textbook.

An online textbook or e-book is a digitally readable version of a physical textbook which is meant to be read on some digital device, for instance PC's. laptops,tablets, mobile phones, etc.

E-books, like physical textbooks, include text, images or both but require a digital medium to become readable. However, it is considered a drawback since to use an e-book, the user is dependable on the availability of some digital device.

Explain the biological significance of mitosis

MArishka [77]

Mitosis is important for a number of reasons. It's a form of reproduction for some organisms that reproduce asexually, it's needed for growth and development, and also for the repair and replacement of cells. If we didn't do mitosis dead cells wouldn't be replaced, and that would cause some massive problems. For example, if we weren't capable of doing mitosis and you cut your hand, the cut wouldn't heal up because the cells wouldn't be getting replaced.

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria carry out the conversion of gaseous nitrogen to a biologically useful form of nitrogen
An energy pyramid illustrates that energy in the form of heat is lost to the surroundings as it is passed from one organism to the next
The energy role of a grizzly bear is that of a consumer because it cannot make its own food
Decomposers cycle nutrients from dead organisms back to the soil, where it becomes available for plants
The Savanna biome is characterized by its lack of trees, warm temperatures, and moderate rainfall

Explanation:

The nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Azotobacter which lives in symbiotic relationship in the rhizomes of leguminous plants. They convert inorganic atmospheric nitrogen gas through the action of its enzymes like nitrogenase to organic nitrogen in the form of ammonia, which is readily assimilated by the plants.
In an ecosystem, at each tropic level of an energy pyramid, only 10% of energy is utilized and transferred to the next higher tropic level whereas the majority of energy is dissipated as heat during various metabolic processes.
Decomposers also called saprophytes like earthworms, bacteria, fungi survives on dead and decayed remains of plants and animals and also on fertilizers, pesticides etc in the soil. They recycle the nutrients by breaking down the complex biomolecules into simpler forms and release back into the soil.
Grizzly bears being omnivores eat both plants and animals according to their availability. Hence they are both primary and secondary consumers.
Savanna is a grassland biome with a typical tropical wet and dry climate and receives moderate rainfall. Hence it cannot support trees but only have grasses.
