Brain structure that controls the autonomic nervous system is the hypothalamus of the brain. It is located on lower part of the top end of the brain stem. The hypothalamus specifically important for maintaining homeostasis, the proper balance of the body’s internal environment such as body temperature, blood sugar, breathing. Thus, the hypothalamus maintains homeostasis by controlling the autonomic nervous system.
Answer;
The two processes used by producers to obtain energy are photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.
Explanation;
Producers are those organisms that can make their own energy in an ecosystem using biochemical processes. These biochemical processes are photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.
Photosynthesis involves use of energy from the sunlight together with water and oxygen to make simple sugars. The process converts solar energy to chemical energy (simple sugars).
Chemosynthesis involves use of chemicals as the energy source, rather than sunlight , to make simple sugars such as glucose.
Glucose from both processes is then used for respiration to generate energy or stored in form of starch.
A "micrometer" is the best unit of measurement for measuring the size of an atom.
Answer:
A diet combining legumes and cereals will have a good balance of essential amino acids
Explanation:
Cereals are grains that are rich in vitamins, carbohydrates, protein and other essential nutrients, they include wheat, rice, sorghum etc. Legumes include a wide range of seeds, fruits, nuts, vegetables that are rich in proteins, carbohydrates and other nutrients, examples include peas, beans, lentils etc.
Cereals and legumes are referred to as staple foods, they are usually used to complement each other because combining them will result in a good balance of essential amino acids. In cereals, lysine is a limiting amino acid but is usually in high amounts in legumes. However, in legumes cysteine, trypthophan and methionine are the limiting amino acids but are found in cereals. Therefore, this makes legumes and cereals complementary in the diet as it significantly increases the protein quality of the diet.
Answer:
If there is homologous chromosomes (metaphase I) or duplicated chromosomes/sister chromatids (metaphase II) in the middle of the cell.
Explanation:
Meiosis involves two series of nuclear divisions grouped into meiosis I and meiosis II. Each division has the same number of stages i.e prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase etc. Meiosis I involves the separation of homologous chromosomes i.e similar but non-identical chromosomes from each parent.
On the other hand, meiosis II involves the separation of sister chromatids (duplicated chromosome). Since METAPHASE is generally characterized by the alignment of chromosome at the middle of the cell for separation in the anaphase stage, it means that the difference between metaphase in meiosis I and II will be whether it is homologous chromosomes that are in the middle or sister chromatids.
Therefore, according to this question, I would know if the cartoon is in metaphase I or II if:
- there are homologous chromosomes in the middle of the cell (metaphase I)
- there are sister chromatids in the middle of the cell (metaphase II).
