Defecation depends on

Biology
1 answer:
ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: the correct answer is d. all of the above must happen for defecation to occur.

Explanation:

In response to the distention of the rectal wall, the receptors send sensory nerve impulses to the sacral spinal cord. Motor impulses from the cord travel along parasympathetic nerves back to the descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, and anus. The resulting contraction of the longitudinal rectal muscles shortens the rectum, thereby increasing the pressure within it. This then opens the internal sphincter.

How do obligate aerobes and obligate anaerobes differ in their interactions with the atmosphere?
bixtya [17]

The obligate aerobes need oxygen for their survival, while the obligate anaerobes do not. The obligate aerobes are the species that attain the energy for the process of aerobic respiration with the help of oxygen as the ultimate electron acceptor for the electron transport chain.  

On the other hand, obligate anaerobes are the species, which get poisoned by the usual levels of atmospheric oxygen, and thus, get killed in the existence of oxygen.

Relationship between activation energy and rate of reaction
Stolb23 [73]

The activation energy of a chemical reaction is closely related to its rate. Specifically, the higher the activation energy, the slower the chemical reaction will be. This is because molecules can only complete the reaction once they have reached the top of the activation energy barrier.
