Suppose you have three water baths in front of you. The temperature of the one on the left is 22°C (cold), the one in the middle

is 25°C (room temperature,) and the one on the right is 44°C (warm). At the same time, you place the index finger of your right hand into the warm water bath and the index finger of your left hand into the cold water bath, and you leave them there for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, why would you no longer feel a difference in temperature between the two water baths?

Answer:

In the given case, after two minutes the person is not able to make a distinction between the temperature of the two water baths because in the index fingers the sensory receptors are present, which becomes less sensitive due to continuous stimulation over time.  

The dendrites of sensory neurons that perform a unique function of attaining particular types of stimuli are termed as sensory receptors. The sensory receptors are mainly categorized as thermoreceptors, chemoreceptors, photoreceptors, or mechanoreceptors. Mainly the classification of sensory receptors is done by the kind of response produced by the stimulus in the receptor. Generally, sensory receptors react primarily towards any of the four kinds of stimuli, which are temperature, chemicals, light, and pressure.

If the mouse was in a wire cage and only the weights of the mouse, food, and water were considered, would you come to the same a
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Here is the full question:

(A) If a closed container contains a mouse as well as enough food, water, and oxygen for the mouse to live for 3 weeks,

How much will the container weigh 1 and 2 weeks later after the  mouse has eaten, drunk and exercised (respiration is CO2 emission), and why?

(B) If the mouse was in a wire cage and only the weights of the mouse, food, and water were considered, would you come to the same answer as in (A) and why?

Explanation:

(A) The mouse will weigh the same. This is because solids, liquid, and gases cannot escape the closed container. All of the life processes involving reactions conserve the atoms involved. Some of those atoms will appear in the form of gases, some as solids, and others as liquids but all will be retained in the closed container.

(B) In a wire cage, gases can escape. This means that the weight will not be the same after 1 and 2 weeks. The weight would be less than the original weight of the mouse, it's food, and it's water.

The differences between each stage of consciousness are easy to recognize.<br> True or False.
AleksandrR [38]
<h2>The answer is </h2>

False

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to Sigmund Freud human consciousness have been divided into three levels of awareness: the conscious, precociousness, and unconscious. These stages are never understood by any person at the same time. There is always a transition period between these segments. For example the transition stage from wake to sleep where we see a gradual reduction in consciousness with fuzzy, halfway states in between conscious and unconscious.
