Biology
1 answer:
Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago
4 0

The lunar phase or phase of the Moon is the shape of the directly sunlit portion of the Moon as viewed from Earth. The lunar phases gradually and cyclically change over the period of a month (about 29.5 days), as the orbital positions of the Moon around Earth and of Earth around the Sun shift.


The Moon's rotation is tidally locked by Earth's gravity; therefore, most of the same lunar side always faces Earth. This near side is variously sunlit, depending on the position of the Moon in its orbit. Thus, the sunlit portion of this face can vary from 0% (at new moon) to 100% (at full moon). The lunar terminator is the boundary between the illuminated and darkened hemispheres.


Each of the four "intermediate" lunar phases (see below) is around 7.4 days, but this varies slightly due to the elliptical shape of the Moon's orbit. Aside from some craters near the lunar poles, such as Shoemaker, all parts of the Moon see around 14.77 days of daylight, followed by 14.77 days of "night". (The side of the Moon facing away from Earth is sometimes called the "dark side of the Moon", although that is a misnomer.)



Take what you want from that. Don't plagerize.

Damage to sensory receptor cells would most likely result in ________. I. confusion of visual and auditory input II. inaccurate
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is: None of the above. The accurate answer is: Problem or inability in detecting the sensory information.

Explanation:

  • Sensory receptor cells form the part of the sensory epithelial layer that are present in the form of a lining in all sensory organs.
  • These sensory cells possess some specialised receptor molecules, usually on the surface of the cells, that can sense different types of sensory signals like light, in case of eyes, smell is case of nose, taste in case of tongue and sound in case of ears.
  • Any damage caused to these cells will adversely affect their capability to perceive or receive or detect the sensory signals.
  • Option I is incorrect because sensory cells are not only present in the eyes and ears but also in nose, tongue, skin. The activity of the sensory cells of one organ is independent of the activity of sensory cells of other organs hence, damage to the sensory cells of one organ will not create any confusion in different sensory inputs.
  • Option II is incorrect because integration of all the sensory impulses occur in the brain after the impulse has been received and detected by multiple sensory receptor cells and send to the brain through the sensory neurons.
