is observation?
As hominids evolved, their eyes increased in size and became more forward facing. Which of the following can be inferred from this observation? Hominids became more dependent on vision over time and less so on their other senses. 

Hominid depth perception decreased, and eye size increased to compensate. 

Hominid brains increased in size, which required their sensory organs to increase in size as well. 

Hominids were less likely to sustain injuries when their eyes faced the direction of their motion.

 The answer is Hominids became more dependent on vision over time and less so on their other senses.  <span>This statement is related to the general decrease in the importance of smell and the increasingly significant use of vision. The stereoscopic (three-dimensional) vision and the appropriate perception of the resulting depth enabled the development of visual acuity over time.</span>

According to the gate control theory of pain, how do gate neurons inhibit pain neurons? select one:
harkovskaia [24]

The gate control theory of pain states that the experience of pain is dependent on the complex interaction of the central and the peripheral nervous system. This theory was given by Ronald Melzack and Patrick Wall.

Usually, when a person experiences pain, the neurons transmits the message from the area of damage along the peripheral nervous system to the spinal cord and the brain.  The gate control theory suggests that the neurons encounter the 'nerve gates' while transmitting the pain messages in the spinal cord. These opening and closing of these gates is dependent on the multiple factors.  

The basket cells are the multipolar, inhibitory interneurons . Endorphins are the neuropeptide and the peptide hormones, which are secreted by the central nervous system and the pituitary gland. These structures have no relation with the transmission of the pain.

The hyperpolarization of the neurons by the opiate receptors resulting in the release of the substance P, which is a neurotransmitter involved with pain.

Hence, the correct answer is 'by releasing substance P'.

GuDViN [60]

To confirm the above hypothesis, Maria should perform an experiment to prove that xylem is responsible for the transport of coloured water through the plant. This is called the ascent of sap.

A suitable plant having a tender, semitransparent stem should be selected. The root system of the plant should be cut off and the twig has to be placed half-immersed in a coloured solution of water for about one hour. Later, when the plant is observed, parallely running streaks of coloured water can be seen through the semitransparent stem and other parts of the plant indicating that the xylem is involved in the upward movement of water.
