Mark Brainliest please

Answer

It regulates voluntary activities.
It relays information to and from skin and skeletal muscles

Explanation

The somatic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system (part of the nervous system consisting of nerves and ganglia, and whose essential role is the transmission of information between the central nervous system - brain and spinal cord - and organs). It intervenes in the voluntary control of movements (or involuntary movements in case of reflexes, but this is different from the involuntary activities) (efferent fibers) and in the perception of external stimuli (afferent fibers).

The somatic nervous system controls the movements of skeletal muscle (which are generally voluntary) and the environmental perception, (think to the arc reflex).

The involuntary activities (proposition 1) mean automatisms like the heartbeat, respiration, secretions of hormones or sweat

Answer:

root hairs → 1. absorbs water and nutrients from the soil

vascular tissue → 2. consists of xylem and phloem

chloroplast → 3. the site of photosynthesis inside the cell

stem → 4. holds the leaves up high into the sunlight

leaf → 5. acts like an umbrella to absorb light  

terminal bud → 6. the growing part of the stem

taproot → 7. roots that reach deep into the ground

Explanation:

I have been able to match each term to its correct description.

From the above, we will discover that these are parts of a plant. These parts of the plant enable the plant to carry out photosynthesis and to exist.

The root hairs of the plant absorbs water and nutrients from the soil. When such are absorbed, the vascular tissues help to transport them.

The vascular tissue consists of the xylem and phloem. They  transport fluid and nutrients inside the plant. The vascular tissue is associated with two meristems which are the vascular cambium and the cork cambium. It is at the chloroplast that photosynthesis occur; where light energy is converted to chemical energy.

The stem holds the leaves firmly in order to project it to the sunlight. The leaf absorb sunlight which is needed for photosynthesis. The terminal bud is actually the part of the stem that is growing out. Taproot reach deep down the ground in search of water for the plant.

What combines to form rocks<br><br>minerals <br>Crystal's<br>other rocks​
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

A rock is a collection of minerals. In a cooling lava, mineral crystals do not have time to form and are very small. The chemical composition will be the same as if the magma cooled slowly. Existing rocks may be heated enough so that the molecules are released from their structure and can move around.

Which marked location on the map above would you expect to have greatest biodiversity?
Sauron [17]

The answer would be D. Tropical Rainforest, this would be due to the abundance of rain which creates plenty of vegetation and then, more herbivores will live in the rainforest, and the more herbivores there are, the more carnivores will come to the rainforest. The canopy of the tall trees also provide shelter for countless of thousands of species of birds.
