During childbirth, the head of the baby pushes against the mother's cervix. A nerve impulse is transmitted to the brain which ca

uses a release of oxytocin. Oxytocin stimulates uterine contraction and pushes the baby towards the cervix. This process continues until the mother gives birth. This is an example ofa) Positive feedbackb) Negative feedbackc) Reflex feedback

Answer:a positive feedback

Explanation: positive feedback is a type of feedback mechanism employed by the body,in which an output is enhanced or acclerated.

In contrast to negative feedback where the body regulates it's internal conditions by reducing the effect of a stimuli,In positive feedback ,the body enhances the effect of the stimuli.

It is not common as negative feedback in homeostasis.

An example is the increasing release of oxytocin to promote contractions during childbirth,until the child is born.

Another example is the accumulation of blood platelet , in the site of blood vessels injury to

cause blood clotting.

What factors do biologists consider when placing organisms into different groups?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:Morphology and Physiology

Explanation:Morphology studies the form,structure and features of an organism this could include the shape,height,color etc while physiology help study the underlaying factor that gives rise to the ways its functions.

This two are key for a Biology to group an organism for when the morphology is know it is possible to classify such organism.

Explain how a carbon atom from a CO2 molecule in the air can end up as a carbon atom in a protein in a plant cell
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Photosynthesis and metabolism are among the most complex areas in biology so given the nature of this forum I've kept the answers simple and brief.

Carbon is of central importance to all biological systems due to its special bonding properties allowing it to form various bonds with other atoms and produce a wonderfully complex range of molecules used by life.

In photosynthesis inorganic carbon in carbon dioxide gas is fixed to hydrogen to produce sugar, an organic molecule. In this case the carbon gains electrons so it is 'reduced' and this process requires energy in the form of light. Once in sugar form, the process can be reversed and the carbon can be oxidised back into carbon dioxide during cellular respiration, releasing energy.

So in photosynthesis, the carbon from carbon dioxide is reduced to form a sugar molecule. When transitioning to respiration, the carbon in the sugar is oxidised to form carbon dioxide again in the reverse reaction to photosynthesis.

The carbon is transferred between molecules through various intermediate steps during these processes, involving enzymes (biological catalysts) to assist in cleaving specific bonds at each stage. During cellular respiration (an energy release reaction) as the carbon is successively oxidised electrons are liberated that are used as part of the energy release. These electrons are captured or 'carried' by special organic molecules called NAD and FAD (reducing them) which in turn can then be oxidised to produce the universal energy currency of life: ATP molecules. ATP is a small bio molecule containing a high energy phosphorous bond that can be broken to release energy to do cellular work. It is used by all life that we know of and is the ultimate product of cellular respiration.
