A seedling is a young plant sporophyte creating out of a plant incipient organism from a seed. Seedling improvement begins with germination of the seed. A common youthful seedling comprises of three fundamental parts: the radicle, the hypocotyl, and the cotyledons.
The correct answer is: A) pontine respiratory centers
The respiratory centre in the pons is responsible for generating and maintaining the rhythm of respiration. Besides this elementary function, it also has the ability to adjust respiration rhythm in c response to physiological changes. Respiratory centre consists of three major respiratory groups of neurons:
• The dorsal respiratory group (DRG)- initiates inspiration (inhalation)
• the ventral respiratory group (VRG)-responsible for exhalation
• Pontine respiratory group- includes the pneumotaxic (controls both the rate and the pattern of breathing) and apneustic centers (promotes inhalation by sending signals to dorsal group).
Research studies suggest that a high-fiber diet protects against colon cancer. This is because high fibrous food increases the bulk in the digestive tract to pass easily through the intestinal tract to shorten the time of passage. This short time of passage of food reduces the interaction of carcinogens present in the food with the intestinal tract. The fibers are broken down in butyrate by the bacteria present in the lower intestine. This butyrate inhibits the growth of tumors of colon and rectum,
