What role does the somatic nervous system play?

Biology
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

b. It converts messages that are received from the central nervous system into involuntary reflexes.

Explanation:

The somatic nervous system (SNS) is part of the peripheral nervous system (SNP), which is responsible for transmitting motor and sensory information both back and forth to the central nervous system (CNS).

The main function of the somatic nervous system is to connect the central nervous system to the organs, muscles and skin. This allows us to perform complex movements and behaviors. Somatic neurons carry messages from the external areas of the body that are directly related to the senses. The information captured by the sensory systems is transmitted to the central nervous system. The CNS then sends signals through the nervous networks of the somatic system to the muscles and organs.

Why are chromosomes most easily seen during cell division?
polet [3.4K]
Cytokinesis is when the cell pinches in 2 towards the end of meiosis and mitosis divisions. The chromsomes aren't as spread out and easy to see as during metaphase. Meiosis is the whole process of producing gametes and not a stage/phase of division. Mitosis is the whole process of cell division for growth and repair. Metaphase is a particular phase in mitosis and meiosis where the chromosomes have been duplicated and are contracted and visible.

The sodium-potassium pump in animal cells requires cytoplasmic ATP to pump ions across the plasma membrane. When the proteins of
quester [9]

Answer:

It will be on the cytoplasmic side of the endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

The inner mitochondria protein called  Adenine Nucleotide Translocator or ADP/ATP carrier protein, maintains  the transport of  ADP into the matrix of the mitochondria  from the cytoplasm for ADP to be available for  ATPase synthesis of ATP, from ADP and Pi(inorganic phosphate ion) during  chemiosmosis of oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria.

The same carrier proetin also convey  the synthesized  ATPs  back to  the Cytoplasm for cellular utilization.

Therefore the ATP binding site should at the cytoplasmic side of the E.R, because  the cytoplasm of the E.R is the site of deposits of synthesized ATP s, thus proximity of the  ATP-binding site to it is needed.
