Where in the body can you find chemoreceptors?
MArishka [77]

There are four types of sensory receptors that respond to one of the four primary stimuli.

Thermoreceptors detect temperature changes in the environment.

Mechanoreceptors detect changes in pressure

Photoreceptors detect the photons composing light

Chemoreceptors detect chemical stimuli and are found inside the body (for example blood vessels). They are also responsible for our sense of taste and smell.

Thus, the correct answer to the question is D. on the tongue and in the nose, to detect taste or odor.

How do fossils and fossil records support the idea that life change over time? How is the fossil age measured?
Alex Ar [27]

Fossils, or preserved parts of organisms from the distant past, have shown that species change over time. Radiometric dating can be used to determine the age of fossils by measuring the how much of the radioactive materials in each rock layer have broken down.

Purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. A heterozygous purple flower is crossed with a white flower. What are the probabil
Zanzabum

Answer:

50% probability of Pp (purple) or pp (white) genotype.

Explanation:

P = purple gene

p = white gene

Punnet squares show the possible genotypes and probabilities of each genotype in the offspring of a cross:

Purple flower genotype (heterozygous) = Pp

White flower genotype = pp

Punnet Square:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&P&p\\p&Pp&pp\\p&Pp&pp\end{array}\right]

Potential genotypes for offspring are Pp and pp;

According to the Punnett square, 2 of 4 offspring will have the Pp genotype and the other 2 will have pp genotypes;

This means 2 should be purple and 2 white;

Or, there is a 50% chance of having either genotype, of being purple or white.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Option B, 18.11 \frac{N}{cm^{2}}

Explanation:

Given-

The average surface area of one foot pad of an elephant is 2920 cm^{2}\\

Weight of an Asian elephant is 52900 newton

As we know, pressure is equal to total weight divided by total area of the surface on which it is concentrated.

Thus, pressure on one foot  pad of elephant is \frac{52900}{2920} \frac{N}{cm^{2}} \\

= 18.11\frac{N}{cm^{2}}

Hence, option B is correct answer
