Answer:

B. olfactory information is not integrated in the thalamus prior to processing in the cortex, and the two systems are primarily processed in opposite hemispheres.

Explanation:

The thalamus is the main source of sensory information to the primary sensory cortex except for the sense of smell. The olfactory information from the sensory neurons needs to pass through the thalamus in order to reach the primary sensory cortex. Moreover, different thalamic nuclei, i.e., different groups of packed neuronal cell bodies that form the thalamus, have been involved in language. A bilateral thalamic activation (with left greater than right thalamic activation), as well as the activation of cortical regions associated with the language, is observed during tasks related to language processing. Language information is processed within the left hemisphere, while the olfactory information is processed in the olfactory bulb which is located on the inferior (bottom) side of the cerebral hemispheres.

What does competition mean and how might you see competition in an ecosystem?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Ecological competition occurs when living organisms, including animals, plants, bacteria and fungi, need the same limited resources to thrive in their shared environment. An ecosystem could collapse if several species needed the same scarce resources to complete their life cycle. Competition will occur between organisms in an ecosystem when their niches overlap, they both try to use the same resource and the resource is in short supply. Animals compete for food, water and space to live. Plants compete for light, water, minerals and root space.

Identify whether the following statements are true or false.
Advocard [28]

The True statements are.

Organisms in a population must compete for the resources as the resources are limited and the organism that compete and survives wins.

The best equipped organism survive which is known as the survival of the fittest.

Over the time due to challenges in the environment the beneficial variation takes place in the organisms and it spreads through the generations and then it gradually changes the whole population.

The false statement is Organism of the same species are equipped with the same survival skills.

The organism of the same species have some variation and because of this variation they compete and win against the other member of the same species.
