What is a reflex arc? what are the roles of the afferent and efferent nerves in this arc?

Biology

Damm [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The sensory input (afferent) of the reflex is from two structures in the muscle called spindles and Golgi tendon organs. The output (efferent) is the alpha motor neuron that contracts (tightens) the muscle. (The muscle fibers are sometimes referred to as extrafusal fibers.)

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex. In vertebrates, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord.

Afferent nerve fibers carry signals from the somatic receptors to the posterior horn of the spinal cord or to the brainstem.

Which of the following explains why water is a good solvent for polar and ionic compounds?
Anni [7]

Hi there!

<u>Electronegativity</u> is the concept of how likely an atom is to attract the shared molecules in one of these bonds to itself. We know the molecule water is made up of two hydrogens and one oxygen. The electronegativity of hydrogen is 2.2, and oxygen 3.4. An <u>ionic bond</u> needs at least a difference in electronegativity of 1.6. As the difference is less than that, we can say that water is a covalent molecule. This then wipes out choice B, because it is not ionic, and C, as we have seen it is actually covalent.

Now, we can see the difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen is still 1.2. This means that while it is not at the point for there to be an ionic bond, there is still a difference in attraction, where the electrons will tend to favor the oxygen more and 'hang around it' more. As electrons are <u>negatively charged</u><em><u>,</u></em> this means that the oxygen will gain a slightly negative charge. This then makes the molecule polar, because it now has a charge within the molecule. This means we have our answer, choice D.

In terms of hydrophobic molecules - they tend to be ones without a charge. (If you're interested in this kind of stuff, I'd search hydrophobic up, and possibly also look into hydrogen bonds).

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask me any other questions you have about this specific problem.

how could Julio explain why all three species share some body structures and have some differences? why do only grizzly bears an
shusha [124]

Answer:

Some species are similar in structure because they are evolved from the same ancestors while some differences are also present in them due to the changes occurs in the body because of adaptation to environmental conditions.

Grizzly bears and sea otters have canine teeth because canine teeth are used to crushing hard food materials such as fishes and shells.

Explanation:

Canine teeth are present in the grizzly bear and sea otters due to eating of food materials which are hard. Canine teeth used to crush the food materials.
