The brain is divided into lobes that carry out different kinds of functions. There are 5 lobes in the brain:

1. Frontal lobe: Concentration, planning, problem solving, etc are the function performed by this region of the human brain.

2. Parietal lobe: Touch, pressure, taste and body awareness is processed by this lobe.

3. Temporal lobe: Long-term memory, hearing, emotions are processed in this lobe.

4. Occipital lobe: Sight is processed in this lobe.

5. Cerebellum: Coordination and balance, fine motor control are performed by this part of the brain.

The modern neuroscience has also confirmed the presence of brain waves like the alpha, beta, theta and gamma rhythm that sweep across the different lobes and regions of the brain. These waves are known to result from the collective activity of neurons in each of the regions. The brain waves are studied to check the activity of the regions that are coordinating together to carry out a particular type of task.

Which of the following does NOT accurately state a transfer of carbon in the carbon cycle?

Doss [256]

Answer:

The point that does NOT accurately indicate a carbon transfer in the carbon cycle is that burning of wood and debris pulls carbon from the atmosphere to use as energy.

Explanation:

The carbon cycle involves the journey that carbon makes between living organisms and their surrounding environment, i.e. the entire biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, and is therefore considered a biogeochemical cycle.

In living organisms, inorganic carbon is taken up by plants to make organic molecules, which will be used by animals - which release CO₂ into the atmosphere - or dead organic matter provides carbon to the soil.

The combustion of wood and debris involves the oxidation of a combustible material -which requires oxygen from atmosphere- to then release CO₂ as a product. So it is incorrect to say that burning of wood and debris pulls carbon from the atmosphere to use as energy.

In which two parts of a chloroplast does photosynthesis occur

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Grana and stroma

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their organic food. This process occurs in the chloroplast of the cell. Grana and stroma are the two parts that are involved in photosynthesis.

Grana are stacks of thylakoid which increase the surface area for light absorption. It is the place where light-dependent reaction occurs. Stroma is the fluid that surrounds grana. It contains the enzyme which is required in photosynthesis. It is the place where light independent reaction occurs.

Stroma is the place where synthesis of organic material from carbon dioxide and water occurs. Therefore the correct answer is grana and stroma.

What would result if chromosomes did not replicate during interphase

Assoli18 [71]

<span>You would not go through the S phase so the chromosomes wouldn't double. So the offspring would have 23 chromosomes and the cells would not survive.</span>
