Answer:

The autonomic nervous system

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system consists of two parts, namely; the somatic nervous system, and the autonomic nervous system.

The somatic nervous system is primarily responsible for regulating voluntary body movements as they function in coordinating and carrying of sensory and motor information within nerves and the central nervous system.

The autonomic nervous system, on the other hand, is responsible for controlling and regulating involuntary body functions such as heart rate, digest, breathing and perspiration, of which we have no conscious or voluntary control over.

The autonomic nervous system can be further divided into the sympathetic and the asympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system controls involuntary body functions such as heart rate, breathing when the body is exposed to a threat , while the asympathetic nervous system helps to maintain the normal body functions in the absence of threat or when the threat has passed.

Explain how the presence of coal-fired electricity plants can affect the ability of lakes to support life?
Lady_Fox [76]
Coal mining produces not only air pollution but solid waste; ash and flue - gas desulferization sludge ( look it up ), which contains toxic arsenic and radioactive uranium among other heavy metals. Water becomes polluted with these harmful substances through mountain top removal mining and so underwater creatures are poisoned and plants absorb deadly substances and die, which also contributes to the aquatic organisms death as the plants may have been a food source.

Why are decomposers and detritivores essential parts of all food webs?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: Detritivores improve the nutritional value and the texture of the soil: This makes the soil productive to plant life which translates to availability of food for the herbivores and carnivores like human beings. They however do not complete the energy cycle as their wastes are energy products that need to be decayed.

Decomposers help in converting the leftovers of animals and plants to useful substances for other living organisms. They are mainly bacteria and fungi. Have you ever wondered what would happen if the decomposers and consumers were not in the ecosystem?

Detritivores play a very important in the cycle as they are the consumers of dead leaves, old skin, carcasses and manure. They include millipedes, earthworms and slugs that feed on dead plants and animals but leave some parts and their feces that are converted to energy by the decomposers. Players in the energy cycle function hand in hand, a decomposer is found at the lowest part of the cycle as it deals with the remains. They complete the energy cycle. The roles of the decomposers and detritivores almost coincide.

Hope this helps !!! Good luck !!! ;)
