Answer:

lateral inhibition in the retina

Explanation:

Horizontal cells are in contact with photoreceptor cells through the synapse. One photoreceptor forms an excitatory synapse with horizontal cell in the adjacent regions of the retina while the horizontal cell forms an inhibitory synapse with another photoreceptor.  

Hence, as one photoreceptor activates the horizontal cell, the horizontal cell, in turn, inhibits the other photoreceptor cell and thereby reduces the quantity of neurotransmitter released at the bipolar cell. In this way, horizontal cells transmit lateral inhibitory stimulus to the photoreceptor which in turn improves the contrast at the edges of the object.

Answer:

B, E are true

Explanation:

The process of respiration produces energy for organisms by combining glucose with oxygen from the air. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are changed into energy and carbon dioxide. Therefore, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere during the process of cellular respiration.

A is false because respiration also happens in plants and is best at night (light not present)

B is true because during the reaction co2 is produced as waste

C is false because co2 is a waste product not a reactant

D is fals because o2 is a reactant not a product

Scientists will look for evidence like similar body or skeleton structures, internal similarities or maybe sometimes the whole heirarchy to confirm that two speices are closely related to each other.

For example ; in birds, scientists will look for type of feathers, body structure, beaks to confirm the similarity of two birds.

Cerebrospinal Fluid

Produced by the choroid plexuses of the brain, the cerebral spinal fluid is contained in the subarachnoid cavity and spinal canal. It is reabsorbed by the arachnoid granulations.
Besides acting as a cushion for the CNS, the cerebral spinal fluid plays a critical part in the immunology of the central nervous system, blood flow in the CNS and autoregulation.
