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

How does the structure of a carbohydrate allow it to perform its function?​
timama [110]

Answer:

Carbohydrates are organic molecules ONLY composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules. So, their structure would be just covalent bonds between the three elements, and most likely non-polar. They give out a lot of energy, and carbohydrates are also known as sugars. Most foods have them.

mendel realized that the principles of probability could used to blank the results of genetic crosses.
Degger [83]
Hey my friend did this one on Answer.com 
<span>
Whenever Mendel performed a cross with pea plants, he carefully categorized and counted the many offspring. Every time Mendel repeated a particular cross, obtained similar results. For example, whenever Mendel crossed two plants that were hybrid for stem height (Tt), about three fourths of the resulting plants were tall and about one fourth were short. Mendel realized that the principles of probability could be used to explain the results of genetic crosses.</span>

Which two adaptations of herbivorous enables them to digest cellulose​
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Cellulose Digestion in Herbivores

By means of the symbiotic gut bacteria, cellulose can be digested by herbivores with the help of monogastric digestion. Herbivores are less efficient than ruminants in the case of extracting energy from the digestion of cellulose. Here, cellulose is digested by microbial fermentation.
