Answer:

1.Structural Divisions of the Nervous System. The nervous system can be divided into two major regions: the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system (CNS) is the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is everything else.

2.Like the nervous system as a whole, the peripheral nervous system also has two divisions: the sensory division and the motor division. The sensory division of the PNS carries sensory information from the body to the central nervous system.

3.Sensory receptors with corresponding stimuli to which they respond.

Receptor Stimulus

Apmullae of Lorenzini (primarily function as electroreceptors) Electric fields, salinity, and temperature

Baroreceptors Pressure in blood vessels

Chemo receptors Chemical stimuli

Electromagnetic radiation receptors Electromagnetic radiation

Electroreceptors Electrofields

Hydroreceptors Humidity

Infrared receptors Infrared radiation

Magnetoreceptors Magnetic fields

Mechanoreceptors Mechanical stress or strain

Nociceptors Damage or threat of damage to body tissues (leads to pain perception)

Osmoreceptors Osmolarity of fluids

Photoreceptors Visible light

Proprioceptors Sense of position

Thermoreceptors Temperature

Ultraviolet receptors Ultraviolet radiation

The shape of each of the molecules is important because A) if the shape of any molecule in an organism changes, the DNA in that
dexar [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - C) the shape of a molecule determines how it functions in chemical reactions

Explanation:

The molecular shape of the molecules is one of the important characters of the molecules. It is important due to the fact that molecular shape determines how a molecule will react and interact with other molecules.

The shape of the molecules determines boiling point, melting point as well as various chemical reaction by determining the bonds. For instance, H2O or water has a tetrahedral shape which affects its bonding and properties. If molecules were linear in  shape there would be no life existed.

Thus, the correct answer would be - C)

Match the enzymes to their role in the DNA replication process.
Feliz [49]

The correct matching of enzymes and their role in the process of DNA replication is A- 3, B- 5, C-1, D-2 and E-4.

Replication is the process of synthesis of two indentical copies of DNA from a single DNA molecule. It is catalyzed by a set of enzymes with the following function-

A. RNA primase synthesizes an RNA primer (short sequence of RNA) on the lagging strand complementary to the single stranded DNA which acts as template during DNA replication.

B. Ligase is involved in joining the okazaki fragments on the lagging strand together and sealing the nicks of the DNA strand.

C. Helicase separates the two DNA strands at the replication fork.

D. Polymerase synthesizes the complementary daughter strand by adding nucleotides to DNA.

E. Topoisomerase relaxes the highly coiled DNA by creating nick ahead of the replication fork in the phosphate backbone of DNA strands.
