Stimulus is something that causes a psychological response. It can be internal or external. The stimulus is the contact with the hot pan. It is an external stimulus. Sense organs, such as the sensory receptors in the skin are sensitive to external stimulus. The quickly pull of your hand is a reflex action.
The contact causes a nerve impulse that will travel to the spinal cord via the sensory neurons.<span>To respond to the stimulus of the reflex arc, the muscle needs to contract to pull the hand quickly away from the hot pan.</span>

​culturally, why might females need to meet higher standards of attractiveness to be considered as credible as​ males?
Elodia [21]
It may have to do with more olden stereotypes, where women were seen to be caretakers of the family, while the male went out to work and earn for them. Many jobs back then were dependent on strength, so as long as men fulfilled their role of earning money (through labor) their looks were seen as little importance. Let me elaborate. If a man could care for his family, he was seen as admirable, or at least acceptable to society. If he couldn't earn, then he was deemed worthless. So a man's honor depended on how his strength was. In this sense, looks didn't really contribute to a man's place in society. Women, on the other hand, were the face of the family. Men would show them off to friends, so if women weren't decently attractive, then it wouldn't be very good for the male. Other than housework, the woman's job is to literally sit still and look pretty; thus the reason behind corsets, bonnets, petticoats and so on. You won't see society asking men to wear such complicated things, because their main job is to work. It would be unsuitable for a blacksmith to be wearing tight suits while hammering, no? I hope this gave you some general insight.

Describe two traits that represent a sustainable society and two traits of a non sustainable society
scoray [572]
<h2>The correct answer is explained below:</h2>

Explanation:

  • A Sustainable society can be defined as the one which utilizes the various available resources in a judicious and economical manner such that the resources can be retained for a longer period of time to be utilized by the future generations. Two traits of such a society are:
  1. Follows the principle of 3Rs, that is Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. This means the society supports the reduction in overuse of resources, promotes the reuse of resources wherever possible and also supports the idea of recycling several resources to sustain the availability of fresh resources.
  2. Tries to harness and make the best possible use of the available renewable resources. The society tries to maximally utilize the renewable resources to fulfill their needs.
  • A Non-sustainable society can be defined as the one which uses all the available resources extravagantly and profusely without showing any concern over the amount of the resources available for the future. Two traits of such a society are:
  1. They tend to use the more readily available resources uncontrollably without any restriction and often not considering whether the resources are required immediately and essentially or not .
  2. They tend to waste a lot of resources as often harnessing resources to an extent which is more than the requirement of the resources causes the wastage of the excess resource.

Which of the following are NOT energy reserves?
vladimir2022 [97]

The correct answer is C) carboxysomes

Carboxysomes are polyhedral inclusion bodies that contain enzyme ribulose- 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO). This is responsible for the fixation of carbon dioxide in cyanobacteria. Carboxysomes have evolved as a consequence of the increase in oxygen concentration in the ancient atmosphere.

Thus, <em>carboxysomes are not energy reserves</em>, unlike another offered answers.

How is a hummingbird getting nectar from a flower an example of mutualism?
horrorfan [7]
Mutualism is when both sides benefit. The hummingbird gets nectar and the flower is benefited because the hummingbird that has been to other flowers carry pollen on its body which spread the flower when it sucks its nectar, therefore pollinating the flower in the process.
