Answer:

The five parts of reflex arc are sense organs (receptor) followed by sensory neuron, then the inter neuron,  motor neuron and lastly by the muscles/body organs.

Explanation:

The five parts of reflex arc are -

a) The first part is the receptor which comprises of sense organ whose function is to sense the impulse and pass the perceived information to the sensory neuron.  

b) The sensory neuron then carry the information from sense organs to the central nervous system (CNS) for processing.

c) The inter neurons carry the information from CNS to the motor neuron

d) After receiving processed  information/ action potential  from inter neuron it is sent to the other parts of the body and away from the CNS .

e) Lastly, the muscles/body organs which receive information from the motor neuron,  enact as directed by the CNS as a response to the impulse received.

The atmospheric pressure drops so the partial pressure of O2 drops proportionately. The hemoglobin must circulate faster to deliver the same quantity of oxygen to working muscles' mitochondria for cellular respiration. This increased basal circulation rate places a greater demand for oxygen to support it, which triggers in increase in red blood cell population so there is more hemoglobin to deliver O2. With more RBCs the circulation rate once more slows to the old basal rate.

What can you determine from the principles of cross-cutting relationships?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

B.  Layers that cut across the most other features are youngest.

Explanation:

Using the principles of cross-cutting relationships, you can determine the relative age of rocks found in the ground. The idea behind it is that the geologic feature which cuts another is the younger of the two features, and it had been around for 400 years. It's not very precise but it is good for determining relative age.

What is the relationship between Distance and average number of species?
valkas [14]

Answer: The relationship between species and distance is that more distance or space has more species and less space has less species.

Explanation:

It can easily be understood by taking the example of the island in such a way that the larger islands contains more species than smaller islands.

There are a  diversity of species seen in a bigger islands, more in number and more in variety.

It is very important for the studying the various species and its conservation, protection and other factors.

So, more is the distance , more will be the number of species.
