Answer:
C) Reflects the light from the sun
Explanation:
Moon does not emit its own light. The moonlight is primarily the sunlight that is being reflected form the surface of moon. The moon is actually quite black so only a little amount of sunlight is reflected back.
We see colour due to the presence of cones in our retina. When we look at the moon, the light coming from moon does not have enough intensity to excite or cone cells and thus only rod cell are get excited. As the rods can't sense colours so the moon appears white.
Answer;
-Presynaptic neuron
Explanation;
-When a nerve impulse travels from neuron 1 to neuron 2, neuron 1 is known as the presynaptic neuron.
-This is a neuron from the axon terminal of which an electrical impulse is transmitted across a synaptic cleft to the cell body or one or more dendrites of a postsynaptic neuron by the release of a chemical neurotransmitter.
- A postsynaptic neuron is a neuron to the cell body or dendrite of which an electrical impulse is transmitted across a synaptic cleft by the release of a neurotransmitter from the axon terminal of a presynaptic neuron.
The statements that are true are the following:
1. The levels of microsomal enzymes are decreased.
Microsomal enzymes are functional parts of the human liver, which participate actively in the drug metabolism. It has been shown that the activity of these enzymes is lower in children, reaching its full activity in adult individuals.
2. First pass elimination is reduced because of the immaturity of the liver.
First pass elimination is a phenomenon of drug metabolism, that occurs in the liver or the gut and involves the reduction of the drug concentration before it reaches the systemic circulation. In neonates, the liver is immature and undergoes several changes during the postnatal period.
3. Gastric emptying is slowed because of slow or irregular peristalsis.
Peristalsis is a term referring to the movement of food to several positions of the digestive tract, through muscle contractions. Gastric emptying is strongly affected by peristalsis. Some children have irregular peristaltic movement.
