The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

In humans, the maintenance of a stable internal temperature is a direct result of___________.

a. detection of and reaction to stimuli in the  environment

b. digestion of starches and absorption of  protein from the internal environment

c. diffusion of water and excretion of glucose to  the external environment

d. transport of ATP and locomotion through  the environment

Answer:

a. detection of and reaction to stimuli in the  environment

Explanation:

Thermoreceptors present in skin layers of the human body sense the deviation of the body temperature from the normal range. As the body temperature rises above normal, the thermoreceptors send signals to the brain which n turn signals dermal blood vessels to dilate and sweat glands to secrete sweat. The heat from the body surface is lost to the surroundings to drop the body temperature towards the normal range.  

On the other hand, when the body temperature goes below the normal range, thermoreceptors send signals to the brain which in turn signals dermal blood vessels to constrict to conserve the body heat. If body temperature continues to drop, muscles are signaled to contract involuntarily to generate body heat to raise the body temperature towards the normal range.

Which of the following correctly matches the equilibrium receptor organs to the type of equilibrium it monitors?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. maculae/ static equilibrium.

Explanation:

Maculae are mechanoreceptors present inside the saccule and utricle specialized for the static equilibrium detecting. Maculae use hair cells to find out the movements of the otolithic membrane occurs, which is the surrounding membrane of the macula.

The sense of the position of the head to determine the stability and posture is static equilibrium and it is determined by the maculae.

Thus, the correct answer is option- B. maculae/ static equilibrium.

Answer:

Primers should be:

3 'ACGTATGTCGCTTAGT 5'

5 'ACGTTCCAGTCAATGA 3'

Explanation:

DNA replication occurs with the need for the presence of primers that are a small sequence of nitrogenous bases that will allow the initiation of replication.

Primers are extremely important in PCR and are represented as small pieces of single-stranded DNA that specify the region of DNA that should be replicated during PCR. These primers attach to the single strand of DNA by pairing the nitrogenous bases allowing the DNA polymerase to recognize where replication begins.

Regarding the question above, the primers should be:

3 'ACGTATGTCGCTTAGT 5'

5 'ACGTTCCAGTCAATGA 3'
