When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond different

ly to different faces. For example, Arthur's face causes three neurons to fire, with neuron 1 responding the most and neuron 3 responding the least. Roger's face causes three different neurons to fire, with neuron 7 responding the least and neuron 9 responding the most. Your results support __________ coding.

Answer:

Sparse coding

Explanation:

Sparse coding can be described or explained as a situation where items are encoded or represented by strong activation of a relatively small sets of neurons.

It should be understood that neurons code for the intensity of stimulus , and this is done in two ways which are

* Frequency coding...here, the firing rate of sensory neurons increases with increased intensity, and

* Population coding....here, the number of primary afferent responding increases.

In this case, the results derived or gotten from both Arthur's and Roger's faces supported the sparse coding.

Experiment on carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis

Yes Carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis because Photosynthesis didn't go on because there was no Carbon dioxide in flask X.

The carbon dioxide was absorbed by the sodium hydroxide. In flask Y, the colour of the iodine solution turned blue black. This is because starch was present in the leaf of flask Y. Starch was present because it underwent photosynthesis.
