8 0

Answer:

B. only chemoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and nociceptors

Explanation:

Receptors are chemical structures, that receive and transduce signals that may be integrated into biological systems.

Receptors that can be found in the  mouth include:  chemoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and nociceptors.

<u>Chemoreceptors</u>

These are receptors that detects chemical stimuli, either molecules or ions dissolved in liquids. An example would be our taste buds in the mouth, because they respond to specific molecules or ions in our ingested food.

<u>Thermoreceptors</u> responds to changes in temperature. These receptors are present in the oral cavity, skin and hypothalamus.

Mechanoreceptors are receptors that respond to distortion of the plasma membrane that occurs due to touch, pressure, vibration, stretch, stress or strain . They can be found in the mucosae of ginviva (gum), cheek, tongue and soft and hard palate.

<u>Nociceptors</u> are receptor responds to painful stimuli. The purpose of nociceptors is to inform the body of injury, damage or threat of damage to body tissues  so that a response may be made. They can be found in the   tooth pulp and within dentine cavity.

Which of the following statements about magnesium atoms is NOT correct? 1. All magnesium atoms have the same number of protons.
Fantom [35]

Answer:

5. All magnesium atoms have the same number of neutrons

Explanation:

Magnesium (Mg) is a chemical element. Its atomic number (Z) is 12 (number of protons in the nucleus of the Mg atom).

The Magnesium has three stable isotopes: 24Mg, 25Mg and 26Mg. All these isoforms have 12 protons in their atoms (same atomic number), however they  vary in the mass number of the atom (M).

The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Based on this information we can know how many neutrons each isotope has

24 Mg = 12 protones + 12 neutrons

25Mg = 12 protones + 13 neutrons

26Mg = 12 protones + 14 neutrons

In this way we conclude that <u>not all magnesium atoms have the same number of neutrons</u>
