The correct answer is - B. The number and type of plants in an ecosystem determines the number and type of consumers that can live there.
The plants are producers. They are the basis of the ecosystems on Earth. By consuming the plants, the consumers are able to survive and thrive, thus the food chain develops further up to the predators that are consuming other consumers.
The number of plants and the type of plants determines what type and how many species of consumers can live somewhere. The more plants there are, the more food for the consumers, thus there will be more consumers. The higher the diversification of the plants, the higher the diversification of the consumers will be too, as every plant is unique and specialization for consuming it is needed, thus the consumers will evolve into new species in accordance to the food source.
What are your options?
Anyways, I would say evolution
Explanation:
This process is called sensory transduction.
The sensory information is received by a sensory receptor, converted to an electrical signal and transmitted to the brain for interpretation or perception.
Further Explanation:
Neurons have unique structures which aid in facilitating communication by sending and receiving electrical signals very efficient. Parts of a neuron are separated into the
- dendrites which receive messages from other neurons allowing them to pass and some of the cell body which contains typical cell components like the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria.
- The axon is an insulated (by the myelin sheath) tubular structure which acts as a bridge to price impulses to other neurons these also contain axon hillocks which are junctions between the axon and cell body
- Synapses are junctions where axons connect to dendrites of other neurons at these junctions chemical reactions occur in order to facilitate the passage of information as chemical signals.
- There are several neuron types which include sensory motor and interneurons which bridge the two.
At synaptic junctions, transduction of the sensory signal to an electrical one begins with membrane depolarization:
- a receptor potential is generated when the dentrite experiences a disturbance, such as changes in pressure at the receptor due to touch.
- this opens ion channels in the related sensory neuron, where the electrical potential or membrane potential depolarizes the neuron.
- at a large enough depolarization, in response to the strength of the stimuli (receptor potentials are graded) the neuron produces an action potential.
- The action potential travels along the membrane until the synapse where it’s electrical depolarization leads to the opening of channels allowing only sodium ions to enter
- these flow through a presynaptic membrane until the concentration is built up, activating ion sensitive proteins attached to vesicles containing neurotransmitters
- this leads to changes in the proteins leading to the fusion with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, so vesicles are open and neurotransmitter is released. The neurotransmitter diffuses across to chemical receptors on the presynaptic cell where they bind temporarily
- This leads to activation of specific complexes, enabling the transmission of information. Thus, the chemical signal is transferred through this neuron as an electrical impulse which travels along neurons in this manner til they reach the CNS.

No, peanuts are not considered meat. They do contain a significant amount of protein, like meats do.
