The desert environment makes it difficult to take in water, so leaves that are small would adapt to the desert environment by trying to conserve the little water that they do receive. Therefore, your answer should be:

b. They minimize water loss.

Answer: Exploitation, invasive species

If the government introduces laws prohibiting hunting, it would somewhat reduce the impact of exploitation would have on the biodiversity because hunting is mainly done for the purpose of fun or to derive valuables from animals like skin, horn, ivory, venome for selling them in the international market and making huge profit from them. Introduction of prohibition law on hunting will reduce killing and exploitation of animals for their valuables.

If laws prohibiting introduction of new plant or animal species within the country are passed, it will curb the effect of invasive species would have on the seas. Invasive species are those living species which are arrive or immegrate to new locations in search of resources. These species compete with native species which results in decline of native species. This will result in disturbance in actual sea biodiversity as this will result in decline in native sea species and may also lead to extinction of native species.

Place the following events of a reflex arc in the correct order: 1) motor neuron activation, 2) sensory neuron activation, 3) se

VikaD [51]

Answer:

The reflex arc follows this sequence of events

1. sensory receptor activation

2. sensory neuron activation

3.information processing

4. motor neuron activation

5. effector response

Explanation:

Reflex arc is the pathway of nerves during a reflex action. An example of a reflex arc is when we accidentally touch a hot object. First, the receptor in the skin detects a stimulus in this case the change in temperature. Second, the sensory neuron transmit the electrical impulses to the Central Nervous System for information processing. Then relay neurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons. Third, motor neurons sends electrical impulses to an effector wherein the effector produces a response ( muscle contracts to move the hand away from the hot object. This happens in a split of seconds.
