<span>Let's look at the options

a. maintaining healthy soil and water

This seems like an obvious option, since healthy soil is necessary to produce food. If a soil is not healthy, it will not have enough nutrients to produce plants.
b. increased use of fertilizer

Actually, the use of fertilizer is not necessary, as healthy soil will be enough to produce food. And increasing the use of fertilizer is even more not good, because it can be unhealthy and it can lead to the soil being infertile.

c. safe distribution of food

This is also very important. Imagine if you can produce healthy food, but you cannot deliver it safely to people and the food gets infected with bacteria on the way - then the whole effort is in vain!
d. biodiversity

This is actually very important, because if you have only one species, if this species is hit by a plague, you could loose all your crop! So you need to keep a variety of crops</span>

Which two processes does this diagram most directly models?

svet-max [94.6K]

The correct answer is D. Homeostasis and transport of molecules

Explanation:

The diagram presented shows the movement of glucose from outside the cell to inside it. Also, this diagram illustrates this process occurs through the cell membrane and there is a higher concentration outside the cell.

This complex process illustrates the transport of molecules in the cell, which refers to a mechanism that allows molecules and substances to move in and out of a cell. Moreover, this process implies molecules (in this case glucose) move to one area with a lower concentration to preserve equilibrium as shown by the diagram. Additionally, this equilibrium is part of homeostasis which is a set of mechanisms to main an equilibrium in the cell, including appropriate levels of glucose and other substances.

Describe and explain the changes in electrical activity both in receptor and in the sensory neurone as increasing pressure is ap

blsea [12.9K]

<span>Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors so they respond only at the onset and offset of the stimulus. The Pacinian corpuscle has a single afferent nerve fiber. Its end is covered by a sensitive receptor membrane whose sodium channels will open when the membrane is deformed in any way. Pressure thus causes sodium to enter the neuron and create a generator potential. If this potential reaches a certain threshold nerve impulses are formed. This impulse is now transferred along the axon with the use of sodium channels and sodium/potassium pumps in the axon membrane. The magnitude of the stimulus is encoded in the frequency of impulses generated in the neuron. So the more massive or rapid the deformation of a single corpuscle, the higher the frequency of nerve impulses generated in its neuron.</span>

Which of the following describes a genotype?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The genotype is described as the genes contained in an organisms genetic makeup.

Explanation:

The genetic information contained in the cell nucleus DNA is called genotype. This information resides in the DNA -whose molecules are dispersed in the form of chromatin- which are organized to form chromosomes during cell division.

DNA fragments constitute genes, that contain all the information that determines the anatomical and functional characteristics of a living organism.
