In animals the sensory capabilities evolved over hundreds of millions of years. It is therefore not surprising that different se

nsory aspects use similar transduction mechanisms.
a) In terms of transduction (i.e., the way energy or chemicals are sensed and transduced into an electrical signal), which distinct human sensory systems use the same molecular mechanisms?

Answer:

Olfactory system

Explanation:

In an olfactory system, odor molecules are perceived by the olfactory receptors. These odor molecules are nothing but the chemicals which are then transduced as chemical signals into the electrical signals and sent to the brain. The brain perceives these electrical signals as smell.  

The odorant particles bind to the specific receptors located at cilia which then signal through the G protein Gαolf which then activate adenylate cyclase. Adenylate cyclase leads to cAMP production which then open a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel through which both sodium and calcium ion entern into the cell. Calcium ion then activates chloride channels and thereby causing transduction of electrical signal

To see how many atoms are in the chemical formula or element symbol, look at the subscript.
KengaRu [80]

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms in each specie, we consider the coefficient and the subscript of each of the given atoms.

1. NaCl:

Na  = 1 atom

Cl = 1 atom

2. CO₂

C = 1 atom

O = 2 atom

3. O₂

O = 2 atoms

4. C₆H₁₂O₆

C = 6 atoms

H = 12 atoms

O = 6 atoms  

For the second part;

1. 2NaCl

Na = 2 atoms

Cl = 2 atoms

2. 3CO₂

C = 3 atoms

O = 6 atoms

3. 4O₂

O = 8 atoms

4. 2C₆H₁₂O₆

C = 12 atoms

H = 24 atoms

O = 12 atoms

An annual mustard plant survives only one month during which it produces 50 flowers. each flower produces a fruit containing 20
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Replacement rate

Explanation:

In biology, replacement level or replacement rate refers to the amount number of offspring required to be produced to keep the level of population at a stable state without causing it to much decease.

Scientists use the replacement rate of plant and animal specie to assess the rate at which the population is reproducing at a stable level or are at some threshold zone and need to be taken care of.

Here in question, we see that some specific properties of mustard plants are focused that, plant survives only one month during which it produces 50 flowers. each flower produces a fruit containing 20 seeds.

It clearly do not depicts the population size of mustard plant, or niche or fitness, it just describe the replacement rate that how many offspring does mustard plant produce to keep its population at a stable or steady state without being getting into a danger of extinction.

Hope it help!

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

A) Energy from Earth’s hot interior produces magma which then cools

and crystallizes into igneous rock.

Explanation:

Energy from Earth’s hot interior causes extreme temperature and pressure which produces magma. This magma is present in liquid state that cools  and crystallizes into igneous rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed from other rocks due to high heat or pressure. Earth movements can cause rocks to go deeply into the earth which causes the rocks are heated and put under great pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited due to air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension.
