Ratling [72]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Medulla oblongata controls consciousness and arousal (the reticular formation) and its three vital reflex centers control the blood vessels diameter, heartbeat and breathing rate (the involuntary actions). This makes option D correct. The lower part of brain stem forms the hind brain which comprises of medulla oblongata, pons and cerebellum. This makes option C incorrect as medulla is not part of forebrain. Cerebellum is the convoluted subdivision of brain stem and is associated with coordination of muscular movement, muscle tone and balance i.e. the voluntary actions. Option B is incorrect. Spinal cord, along with brain, forms central nervous system which serves to integrate the sensory inputs from internal and external environment as received by sensory neurons and process and finally transmit the nerve impulses to effectors (muscles and glands). This makes option A incorrect.

arsen [322]

Answer and Explanation:

Throughout the world, the most different species of organisms are insects.  As compared to the other species, the number of insect species is greater. The exact number of insect species can be estimated from previous and current studies. Approximately nine hundred thousand species of insects are known. Insectivorous birds are those birds that feed on insects. For numerous growing insectivorous birds, insects are used as a source of protein.  One of the most common kinds of insects is beetles. They are found everywhere.  Beetles eat fruits, leaves, and other parts of the plant. The reproductive and fertility ability of insects is remarkable. In habitat 2, beetles and insectivorous birds were living. If all insectivorous birds and remaining beetles were removed from habitat, two and five hundred additional light tan beetles and 500 dark brown beetles were released in habitat 2. After one more week, one thousand dark brown beetles would be expected to be recaptured in the habitat 2.

Vikentia [17]
<span>The answer is a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) that checks for hidden (occult) blood in the stool (feces) by use of a microscope.  The major disadvantage is that it is not very accurate because it is not a 100% reliable as an indicator of colorectal cancer. Sigmoidoscopy is often undertaken following a positive FOBT</span>

The catalase is one of the enzymes that participate in the metabolic activities of the liver. In the given condition, when hydrogen peroxide and liver were combined.
