Answer:

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is one of the two components of the nervous system, the other part is the central nervous system (CNS). The PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord.[1] The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs, essentially serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body.[2] Unlike the CNS, the PNS is not protected by the vertebral column and skull, or by the blood–brain barrier, which leaves it exposed to toxins and mechanical injuries. The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. In the somatic nervous system, the cranial nerves are part of the PNS with the exception of the optic nerve(cranial nerve II), along with the retina. The second cranial nerve is not a true peripheral nerve but a tract of the diencephalon.[3]Cranial nerve ganglia originated in the CNS. However, the remaining ten cranial nerve axons extend beyond the brain and are therefore considered part of the PNS.[4] The autonomic nervous system is an involuntary control of smooth muscle and glands. The connection between CNS and organs allows the system to be in two different functional states: sympathetic and parasympathetic

When Jorge looks at the Moon from Earth, he sees different phases of the Moon depending on the time of the month he observes the
bulgar [2K]
The moon has different phases because it’s around different times. For example, let’s say you go outside and look at the moon at 11pm, then you go and look at it again at 12 pm, it’s going to have a different phase because it’s not at the say time.

I hope this helps! This is what I was getting from the question

A pharmaceutical company claimed that experiments showed that its drug could effectively reduce the growth of cancer cells by 35
Mazyrski [523]
<span>The labs were unable to reproduce the pharmaceutical company’s data

An important characteristic of scientific experiments is that their results can be replicated. In this case, assuming that the laboratories followed the same procedure as the pharmaceutical company, the fact that the data could not be replicated means that the company's claims are invalid. The validity of the claims is more questionable given the huge difference in the final conclusions, with the company reporting a 35% decrease, while the maximum decrease observed by the labs was 8%.

<span>The answer to this question would be: e. increase the rate of the glycolytic reactions.

</span>Lack of oxygen limits the possible chemical reaction that can be done to produce energy. In the anaerobic environment, fermentation of glucose would be the source of energy for bacteria. The net amount of ATP can't be increased, so you need to increase the rate instead.
