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.

Describe the importance of biomes such as forests, freshwater, and marine biomes? How have human actions affected these biomes?
Allisa [31]

Forest biome:  It gives us medicinal plants, woods for commercial purpose. Forests provides us rubber and fibers that is very important for the industries for making various products. They also contribute to perform ecological  functions such as carbon storage, nutrient cycling, water and air purification. It also provides habitat to the wildlife.

Freshwater biome:  We use fresh water for drinking water, irrigation, sanitation systems, and in industrial factories. Water used from groundwater, rivers and lakes is regained by rain and snowfall.

Marine biome:  It serves huge amount of oxygen into the environment and absorbs the atmospheric carbon dioxide.

As a result of the activity of human there is a significant decrease in the number of trees. The products now used are synthetically made which were made up of natural fibers previously. The water source such as rivers, lakes, and ponds are polluted due to which many water borne diseases are increasing day by day. The accumulation of waste which are found in marine biome are reducing the number of flora present inside marine ecosystem.
