Biology
1 answer:
wariber [46]2 years ago

Explanation:

The real magnitude of this challenge can perhaps be best judged by considering the structural and functional complexity of the human brain and the bewildering complexity of human behavior. The human brain is thought to be composed of about a hundred billion (1011) nerve cells and about 10 to 50 times that number of supporting elements or glial cells. Some nerve cells have relatively few connections with other neurons or with such effector organs as muscles or glands, but the great majority receive connections from thousands of other cells and may themselves connect with several hundred other neurons. This means that at a fairly conservative estimate the total number of functional connections (known as synapses) within the human brain is on the order of a hundred trillion (1014). But what is most important is that these connections are not random or indiscriminate:

They constitute the essential "wiring" of the nervous system on which the extraordinarily precise functioning of the brain depends. We owe to the great neuroanatomists of the last century, and especially to Ramón y Cajal, the brilliant insight that cells with basically similar properties are able to produce very different actions because they are connected to each other and to the sensory receptors and effector organs of the body in different ways. One major objective of modern neuroscience is therefore to unravel the patterns of connections within the nervous system—in a word, to map the brain.

Photosynthesis still occurs but the amount of red pigment is greater than the amount of green pigment. The chlorophyll still absorbs light energy. The red leaves does not affect the process of photosynthesis.

Why is biomass difficult to calculate PLEASE HURRY!!!!!!!
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

There are many methods to directly measure biomass of herbaceous plants, but, it is difficult to estimate biomass of shrubs and trees. Peak standing crop may be difficult to measure in ecosystems with a large variety of species because each species will generally reach it's peak phytomass at a different time of year.
