Beta particles are smaller

Answer:

Beta particles are smaller.

Explanation:

When an unstable nuclei will break into stable nuclei then the nucleus energy of the unstable nuclei will be given to the the fast moving beta particles.

These beta particles are same as electron as they are negatively charged whose magnitude of charge is same as that of electrons charge.

so we have

\beta^- = -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

now since electrons are smaller in size as we compare it with alpha particles so we can say that the beta particles can penetrate to more depth then the alpha particles

so here correct answer would be

Beta particles are smaller.

Place the following steps in order for motor control. 1. Upper motor neurons stimulate lower motor neurons. 2. Sensory informati
Alla [95]

Answer:

3, 5, 1, 4, 2

Explanation:

When the body needs to move, certain muscles need to be stimulated in order to perform a certain movement. There is a process that is followed that starts with the brain sending a signal, and ends with the movement being performed by the body.

3. This is the first step, because a pathway needs to be established before any electric impulses can be sent. Hence, the upper motor neurons in the premotor cortex <u>need to choose a pathway</u> (known as a motor program).

5. This is the second step, because once a pathway has been established, a <u>signal needs to be sent</u> down that pathway. Hence, the basal nuclei enable the thalamus to stimulate the upper motor neurons to send an electrical impulse down the pathway.

1. This is the third step, because once the upper motor neurons have been stimulated, they send an electrical impulse to stimulate the lower motor neurons.

4. This is the forth step, because once the electrical impulse reaches the lower motor neurons, they pass the impulse to a certain group of skeletal muscles, causing them to contract.

2. This is the final step, because once the skeletal muscles have contracted, the <u>body has completed its movement</u>. However, once the body has moved, sensory information is relayed to the cerebellum to <u>ensure that the correct movement is made</u>, and if it needs to be adjusted, then the whole process will start again in order to correct the movement.
