Answer:

S1 and S3

Explanation:

The spine is composed of 33 vertebrae and has 31 pairs of nerves that are distributed throughout the body in an organized manner. Each nerve that leaves the spine is responsible for imparting sensitivity and strength to a particular area of the body, so whenever there is a compression or cut of a nerve, a particular area of the body is compromised.

When a person has a feeling of numbness in the foot, as shown in the above question, it is more likely that there is a change in the spine, specifically in the nerves S1 and S3. This is because nerve S1 is responsible for eversion of the foot, while nerve S3 is responsible for the intrinsic muscles of the foot.

What would happen if we didn't have photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
gayaneshka [121]
1)Without photosynthesis: If we didn't have plants, algae and bacteria  to do the photosynthesis, CO2, a air pollutant wouldn't be converted in to glucose for those organisms and there would be no more Oxygen released to the atmosphere. Less photosynthesis  means less oxygen production and many organisms, like us, would die.
2)Without cellular respiration: Without this process we couldn't convert our food into the energy, ATP, necessary for the cells to function properly. Plus, this process also forms water, and without it, it would be another reason for the death of the cells.
Ultimately, will cause the death of the aerobic organism.
