<span>Vagus Let's look at the list of cranial nerves to see what they do 0. Terminal - Animal tests indicate this nerve is involved in detecting pheromones. I. Olfactory - Handles the sense of smell. II. Optic - Handles the transmission of visual signals. III. Oculomotor - Handles the movement of your eyes. IV. Trochlear - More eye movement. V. Trigeminal - Allows you to sense touch on your face and chew your food. VI. Abducens - More involvement with the eyes. VII. Facial - The name says it all. VIII. Vestibulocochlear - Sense of hearing and balance using the inner ear. IX. Glossopharyngeal - Taste and some motor movement. X. Vagus - This one innervates nearly all of the thoracic and abdominal viscera. And that pretty much defines the question. So this is the nerve to choose. XI. Accessory - Handles a few muscles. XII. Hypoglossal - Handles a long of the tongue movement.</span>

How would retaining extra cytoplasm enhance survival of a developing oocyte?

beks73 [17]

Answer: An extra cytoplasm enhance survival of a developing oocyte in such a way because cytoplasm serves as a reservoir of lipids, polysaccharide and lipids for the developing embryo.The more the cytoplasm content, more will be the nutrients for the developing embryo. The cytoplasm forms the yolk and provides nourishment to the developing embryo. As we know that the developing embryo requires more nutrition and the main source of nutrition is cytoplasm because the sperm has no reservoir of its own to provide nutrition to embryo.

Thus, an extra cytoplasm enhance the rate of survival of a developing oocyte.

Check each statement that applies to the atmosphere as a natural resource.

GalinKa [24]

The correct statements are:

1. The atmosphere interacts with the hydrosphere to redistribute water over the surface of the Earth;

2. The atmosphere interacts with several Earth spheres, including the lithosphere;

3. Wind from the atmosphere creates ocean waves and currents;

The atmosphere is one of the few spheres, and it is of crucial importance for the life on our planet, but also for the shape of the world, and redistribution of temperature. Any slight change in it affects the whole planet significantly, and that just proves its importance. It can be a blessing, and it can be a curse with its activity, but whichever way it is, it is part of the natural process of our planet.
