If a researcher electrically stimulates the reticular formation in an animal, the animal will immediately wake up and be alert. Its purpose is to have some control of sensory signals and thus has the ability to alert the body when it is tired or needs to be awake.
Answer:
Carbon binds to oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen covalently to form the many molecules important for cellular function. Carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell and can form four bonds. Carbon and hydrogen can form hydrocarbon chains or rings
The answer i believe is d.
hope this helps!!
Answer:
A represents photosynthesis and B represents cellular respiration.
Explanation:
As in A there is utilization of carbon dioxide and water to make oxygen and glucose which is a key process of photosynthesis, and then this oxygen and glucose is used as energy source to produce carbon dioxide and water as by products of respiration.
Before assessing the two given cases, an assumption needs to be made about the digestion of the two types of food items, corn and beef. Let us assume that both get digested by expending same amount of energy by the human body. Let the amount of energy at producer level be an arbitrary X.
Case 1: Corn to human:
Since corn is at the producer level, it will have X amount of energy. The transfer of energy from corn to human will take place with a loss of 90% energy at the producer level. Hence the humans will receive 10% of X amount of energy.
Case 2: Corn to cow to human:
Since corn has X amount of energy, only 10% will pass to the next level, i.e. cow. So cow has 10% of X. Cow transfers only 10% of the energy that it has. Hence humans receive only 10% of 10% of X amount of energy.
It can be seen that humans receive more energy in case 1 than case 2. Hence we can say that it is more efficient for humans to feed on corn.
