Answer:

Her excitement is a function of her autonomic nervous system, and her movements are a function of her somatic nervous system

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system control the involuntary and reflexive functions of the body such as pumping blood, the beating of the heart, expansion or contraction of blood vessels or pupils — which is why we are seldom conscious of it.The autonomic nervous system is composed of parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS).

The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) controls homeostasis and the body at rest and is responsible for the body's "rest and digest" function. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) controls the body's responses to a perceived threat and is responsible for the "fight or flight" response.

The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system that involves parts of the body a person can command at his will. It is responsible for carrying motor and sensory information both to and from the central nervous system (CNS). This system is made up of nerves that connect to the skin, sensory organs, and all skeletal muscles. The system is responsible for nearly all voluntary muscle movements as well as for processing sensory information that arrives via external stimuli including hearing, touch, and sight.

The excitement is involuntary which is a result of the increase in the players heart rate. This is controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

When the player saw the time element, she decided at his will to make a jump shot as a response to that stimuli. That is the function of the somatic nervous system.

A certain strain of bacteria divides every 2 hours. If a colony is started with 80 bacteria, then the time t (in hours) required
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The time required for the colony to grow two million bacteria is 29.22.

Explanation:

Time required for the colony to grow can be calculated by the following equation:

t=2log(N/80)/log 2.

Here t is time, N = 2 million  (require bacteria population).

t=2log(2,000,000/80)/log2

t ≈ 29.22

Time taken by bacteria to grow is 29.22.
