What advantage is there in having the special sensory organs confined to the head region?

Biology

Tanzania [10]3 years ago

Answer: increases the speed of impulse transmission


Explanation: The advantage of having special sensory organs confined to the head region is that it can help us process the impulses into information faster. A lower risk of damage due to the short distance of the nerves is also an advantage of having sensor organs near the head region. However if one gets a head injury it can be dangerous since the injury may damage the sensory organs, and can take a long period of time to fully recover.

The answer to this question would be: rapid impulse transmission. 

By having organ near the head, the brain can process the information faster because the length of the nerve that carries the impulse from organ would be much shorter. The nerve also at lower risk of damage since it was shorter.
But it makes the head very important and damage to the head can cause much more problem than any part of the body.

Why would mitochondria in heart muscle cells have more cristae than mitochondria in skin cells?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The structure of mitochondria contains the foldings in the inner side called "cristae" which increase the surface area of the mitochondria. The cristae are important to mitochondria as well as cell as cristae embody the ATP synthase enzymes which help in the formation of the ATP molecules.

Heart cells require more energy to pump the blood from the heart to the body so it needs a more mitochondrial number in the cells with more infoldings to synthesize more ATP.

The hershey chase experiment on bacteriophages showed the genetic information is carried in ____________.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The hershey chase experiment on bacteriophages showed the genetic information is carried in <u>DNA.</u>

Explanation:

In 1952 Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase provided evidence that DNA is the genetic material. These scientists carried out an experimental work with the T2 virus, a bacteriophage that infects the Escherichia coli bacteria, which reproduces by attaching itself to the outer wall of the bacteria, injecting its DNA into it where it replicates and directs, the synthesis of phage proteins. Phage DNA is encapsulated within proteins and produces phages, which lyse or break the cell and releasing phage from the progeny. They used radioactive forms (isotopes) of phosphorus and sulfur. A radioactive isotope can be used as a marker to identify the location of a specific molecule, because any molecule that contains the isotope is radioactive and therefore easy to detect. The DNA contains phosphorus, but doesn't contain sulfur, therefore phosphorus-32 was used to mark the DNA, instead the protein has sulfur, but not phosphorus, so sulfur-35 was used. Hershey and Chase found that sulfur-35 is outside the cell while phosphorus-32 was inside, indicating that DNA was the physical support of the inheritance. This work allowed the scientists to conclude that it's the DNA and not the protein that enters the bacteria during phage reproduction and that only the DNA is transmitted to the phage of the progeny.

Yasmine uses the model of a double pump to describe the human heart.
Fofino [41]

Answer:

the human heart is a double pump with the right ventricle as pump one and the left ventricle as pump two. the heart a double pump functions as a double ventricle. the  Blood moves from the body into the right atrium, and then into the right ventricle where it gets pumped into the lungs. Blood gets oxygenated in the lungs, moves into the left atrium, and into the left ventricle and the process begins all over again.

normally, the human body requires two pumps functioning at different pressures, high pressure to permits the blood to circulate around the body, and low pressure to give room/permits for optimal gas exchange in the lungs without broken capillaries.
