Answer:

The correct answer is option 4.  Parasympathetic division.

Explanation:

The parasympathetic division is one of the three divisions of the ANS or autonomic nervous system. It also helps in the rest system or digest system as it saves energy by slowing the heart pace by slowing the rate of contraction. This is performed with the help of nerve fibers that send signals.

Parasympathetic nerve division increases the intestinal and activity gland. This nerve division helps in relaxing the sphincter muscle in the GI tract.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Which is NOT a critique of neuroscience?

D. Brain activity doesn't necessarily cause behaviour just because they coincide.

  • Neuroscientists are focusing on the brain and its impact on cognitive functions and behaviour.
  • Scientists proved that the chemicals present in the brain are responsible for our general state and mood that we are going through. Damage of brain cell will affect our impulses and the impulsive behaviours.

Which of these statements is true about adaptive evolution? The ability to learn plays a key role in the process of adaptive evo
pentagon [3]
<span>The correct answer is "Sudden changes in the somatic cells of organisms play a key role in the process of adaptive evolution". Adaption in evolution is caused by sudden gene mutations that affect an organism's offspring and give it - potentially - a better chance of survival. For example, a giraffe who passed on a mutated gene for a slightly longer neck to its offspring gave its offspring a better chance of reaching untouched food, and thus a survival advantage.</span>

please match the following nutritional types with the statements that most accurately describe them, to test your understanding
svetlana [45]

Autotroph: a creature that obtains its carbon from inorganic carbon dioxide

Chemotroph: an organism that obtains energy from chemical substances-Heterotroph: an organism that must receive its carbon in an organic form

Phototroph: an organism that produces energy from sunlight

The term "primary nutritional groups" refers to a category of creatures that are separated into subcategories based on the sources of carbon and energy that they require for survival, growth, and reproduction. Carbon can come from organic or inorganic sources, and energy can be derived from either light or chemical molecules. ATP, carbs, or proteins are used to store the liberated energy as potential energy. The energy is eventually put to use for activities essential to life, like movement, growth, and reproduction.

What piece of evidence supports the viral model presented in Viewpoint #2 that viruses are non-living?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

b. viruses do not undergo mitosis

Explanation:

One characteristics of non-living things is their ability to reproduce. Viruses on their own lack this ability to reproduce their kind. Mitosis is a form of reproduction where one cell divides to form two daughter cells. Viruses do not undergo mitosis.

Viruses are just an assembly of biochemical particles that need to gain entrance into a living cell to be able to multiply.
