Answer:

b. have names that indicate the location of the initiation and termination of the nerve impulses

Explanation:

The sensory and motor tracts are sets of nerve fibers that run inside the central nervous system; more precisely within the spinal cord and they are named according to the path their fibers have, that is, we will call them indicating from where they begin to where they arrive.

For example, the spinothalamic tract is a sensory tract that carries the sense of touch and pressure from the spinal cord to the thalamus.

On the other hand, corticospinal tracts are linked to isolated and specialized voluntary movements (especially from the distal part of the limbs) and descend from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord.

As for the other options, I can say that they are incorrect because the tracts do not differ to the right and left of the cord in sensory and motor. Also, the tracts are located in the white substance not in the gray.

What type of reaction do cells use to combine smaller monomers into larger functional polymers?

mr_godi [17]

The reaction that links monomers to make polymers is polymerization. This process is also referred to as dehydration synthesis. Two monomers are binding to each other and form one polymer. Example: hydrogen (H) from one monomer binds with a hydroxyl group (OH) from the other monomer and forms the polymer : H+ + OH- = H2O - the water molecule.

All angiosperms produce flowers at some stage in their life. Flowers are important to the angiosperms because they serve as the reproductive organ for the plant, providing a means for the plant to propagate itself.

Angiosperms are the largest group of plants on earth. They account for approximately 80% of all known living plants. There are about 270,000 known species of angiosperms that live on the earth today.
