Answer:

Volcanic gases. (Ans A)

Explanation:

Ocean water is salty because of the presence of dissolved salt. When water contact with a rock it starts weathering processes and this process starts to dissolve the soluble elements such as sodium out of the rock.

In volcanic gases, lots of chlorine ions are present in the atmosphere, these ions easily dissolve with water and produce the large flux of chloride that splashes into the oceans. So, the most common source of chloride ions in ocean waters comes from the volcanic explosions.

In order for you to enjoy the smell of a flower, molecules called _______ from the flower must land on your olfactory epithelium
Maslowich

In order for you to enjoy the smell of a flower, molecules called <u>Odorants </u>from the flower must land on your olfactory epithelium, which lines the inside of the nose.

  • When a person breathes in air containing odor molecules, the molecules attach to receptors in the nose and send signals to the brain.
  • Odorants interact with primary epithelium olfactory receptors. Olfactory receptors, a type of epithelial cell with cilia, are found in the olfactory epithelium. These receptors receive the sense of smell, which is then sent to the brain.
  • The sensory neuron connected to the receptor is activated when an odorant connects with a receptor that detects it.
  • Only olfactory stimulus directly communicates with the cerebral cortex; all other sensory information is sent through the thalamus.
  • Additionally, it has been suggested that the nasal mucus plays a role in the process of emulsifying hydrophobic odorant molecules, delivering them to receptor sites.
