Thermoreceptors detect body temperature and send impulses to the brain for analysis. If body temperature is low, the brain will

signal skeletal muscles to perform brief, repeated contractions to help generate heat. In this example, what is the effector?
A. Skeletal muscles

Answer:

A. Skeletal muscles

Explanation:

An effector is a group of cells, an organ, gland or any part of the body that acts to bring about a change in response to a nerve impulse from the CNS.  

In the case of thermogenesis as stated in the question above, where a drop in temperature is detected by thermoreceptors in the CNS, the part of the body that responds in returning the body temperature back to its baseline are the skeletal muscles. The skeletal muscles are the effectors that responded in repeated contracions to generate heat.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

In order to maintain homeostatic balance in human, negative feedback loop and sometimes positive feedback loop are usually employed. The control mechanism consists of receptors and effectors (muscles and glands). The Receptors are sensory cells that acts like sensors to detect changes stimuli from the internal and external environments and relay these as input to the control center the brain. The brain processes the input and  send the information as output to the effectors to bring about a corrective effects.

The control by  the  negative and positive loop  are usually within the set-points so that the homeostatic balance of the body is maintained.  

In this present scenario, the imbalance in body temperature (drop )is detected by the receptors in  the skin (thermoreceptos, so named because they are sensitive to heat). They sent input as temperature fluctuations to the brain the control center.Analysis by the brain is relayed as output to the effectors (skeletal muscles) to contract, repeatedly. This is shivering. It is a thermogenic mechanism of increasing body temperature when it drops.

Therefore the skeletal muscles is the effector  because , it causes a  biological change(shivering) in the body reverse  the  rise in body temperature, and  returns  it to normal level.

The entire process is called thermogenesis. Once the temperature reached the set-point the thermoreceptors, sense this and send  corrective input for the brain to stop the stimulation of the temperature control center : hypothalamus  to reduce the output to the effectors Therefore, he skeletal muscles relaxed.  and shivering is stopped

Although this is a corrective measure,  it has disadvantage of withdrawing  heat energy from the body core temperature via  vasodilitation and loss to  the surrounding environment via convention.

What differs among DNA structures of different species?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

D) the arrangement of the nucleotides within genes

Explanation:

De-oxy ribo nucleic acid that is basically a polymer of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of three basic units: a de-oxyribose sugar unit, a phosphate group and nitrogenous bases that can be Adenine, Gunanine, Thymine and Cytosine.Adenine always pairs with Thymine and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine.

This is a universal composition of DNA in each and every living organism. The genes are a segment of DNA that contain specific sequence of nucleotides and encode for a specific trait of organism such as height, weight, eye color etc. The sequence of nucleotides expresses the trait in the form of protein product during the process of Translation. The products of translation are amino acids and every amino acids encode for a specific protein  in almost  all living organisms.

So, what differs in the specie is the sequence of nucleotides in genes. Infact this is the nucleotide sequence which brings evolution in organism and organisms evolve to form new specie with the passage of time. One major cause of change in nucleotide sequence is mutations due to which the organisms change with time.

Suppose the sequence of nucleotide of specific gene in organism A is

AAGGGGAAATTT

However in other specie organism B of same specie is:

TAGGGGAAATTT

This means only mutation of one base changed the gene in organism B and also its product called protein.

Hope it help!

Your client's campaign is getting a lot of clicks, but the conversion rate is low. which approach could help improve your client
yuradex [85]
The answer would be: <span>Make sure the landing page is closely related to the ad
</span>
To have high conversion rate, the landing page should give an accurate advertising that closely related to it. Increasing the budget will increase the conversion number, but not the rate. Increasing the CPC bid or broaden the list of keyword won't increase the conversion rate either.

The decision to visit planets other than Earth is not supported by everyone. What would be a good argument against sending human
Ann [662]

Answer:

Sending humans to other planets may cause danger. We dont fully know what these planets are capable of doing. If there is such a thing as life on other planets then we still dont know weather or not life there is friendly or not. They could be harmful, because just as we dont know know exactly who or what they are, they dont know who or what they are either, so its a high chance they may want to defend themselves.
