improved soil fertility

Explanation:

One direct benefit of biodiversity is improved soil fertility. Biodiversity is the variety of plants and animals living in a particular ecosystem.

  A soli is made up of organic matter. Organic matter is the remain of dead and decaying plant and animal materials in the soil.

Organic matter is a very important soil component.

Since plants and animals eat up plants which takes nutrients from the soil, there must be a way to replenish these vital soil materials.

 The more biodiverse an ecosystem, the better its chance of adding more nutrients to the soil as they decay.

Some autoimmune disorders are thought to be caused by _________, which occurs when an infectious agent is composed of antigens w
EastWind [94]

Answer: adaptive immune response

Explanation:

Autoimmune disorders are caused by different microoorganism and drug which manipulates the immune system in a way that immune system become unable to recognise between self antigen and foreign antigen. In that case immune system treats foreign antigen as self antigen which cause systemic or organ specific damage.

The exact cause of autoimmune disorders is unknown and hence it is  thought that it is caused by adaptive immune response which builds against self antigens and causes damage to the cells.

Hence, some autoimmune disorders are thought to be caused by adaptive immune response.

Difference between pleomorphic and dedifferentiated
emmainna [20.7K]
Pleomorphism (microbiology): the ability of some bacteria to alter their shape or size in response to environmental conditions. Dedifferentiated liposarcoma is the least common subtype of liposarcoma and usually arises from a well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS). Progression occurs. in 17 % of patients when WDLPS is located in the retroperitoneum and 6% of cases when WDLPS is located in the extremities.

Select the correct statement(s):
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The correct option is B <em>Pressure-sensitive baroreceptors uses tonic receptors which adapt slowly to the stimulus</em>

Explanation:

a. The thalamus receives stimulus from all of the five senses (sight, smell, taste, hear, touch). FALSE. Olfactory information is not sent to the thalamus for its process. The rest is.  

b. Pressure-sensitive baroreceptors uses tonic receptors which adapt slowly to the stimulus. TRUE. Among the different types of tonic receptors, we may find baroreceptors, irritation receptors, tactile receptors, and proprioceptors. Tonic receptors characterize by their slow adaptation to the stimulus. The first discharge is maximal when the stimulus is received and then it progressively decreases. They send a continuous signal to the CNS.

c. The three layers that the retina is made of: photoreceptors, bipolar cells, rod cells. FALSE. There are in fact three layers in the retina: photoreceptors, bipolar cells, and ganglion cell layers. NOT rod cells.  

d. The sense of smell uses phasic receptors which continuously fire as long as the stimulus is present. FALSE. Olfactive sense uses phasic receptors, but not continuously. These receptors shoot when they receive the stimulus, and then cease if the stimulus keeps constant.
