Answer: C. Radical global climate change.

Explanation:

The entire taxa of the species can be wiped out due to an large catastrophic event associated with the change in the climate. As the climate becomes warm the chances of undergoing the global precipitation rate will change. The climate being an important abiotic factor under unstability is likely to affect the amount of rainfall, snow fall, drought and conditions of desertification. All these factors can be responsible for the removal of the entire taxa of the species in short time.

Answer:

CNS, sensory.

Explanation:

Neurons is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. The nervous system is divided into two main parts - central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.

The central nervous system constitute the brain and spinal cord. The CNS contains both the afferent and efferent neurons depending on the direction of their signal transmission. Afferent or sensory neurons are responsible for the conduction of sensory input from the sensory receptors.

Dehydration is a condition in which the rate at which the body looses t fluids is higher than the rate at which it takes fluids in.

It is caused by diarrhoea( watery stools )

2.Excessive sweating.

3 vomiting continusly.

4. No access to water intake

5.Polyuria(excessive urination)

6.Fever leading to hyperthermia.

The kidney is the main organ where the effect of dehydration is managed . As a result of increase in the solute potential of the blood,;the hypothalamus secrets ADH hormones which stimulates the Aquaporins(transmembrane proteins in the collecting duct and the distal convoluted tubules) to open .Therefore water moves in by osmosis to reduce the higher solute potential of the blood. Therfore low volume,high concentrated urine is produced.

This homeostatic function of the kidney ensures balanced in the electrolyte fluids of the body to manage dehydration,before medical intervention.
