Answer: pharyngeal reflex

Explanation:

The gag reflex, also known as the pharyngeal reflex, is when your pharynx contracts and your larynx pushes up, contracting your throat.

The afferent limb of the reflex is supplied by the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX), which inputs to the nucleus solitarius and the spinal trigeminal nucleus. The efferent limb is supplied by the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) from the nucleus ambiguus.

Assessing aggregate exposure to a series of compounds with the same biological mechanism is called ________ exposure assessment
stira [4]

Assessing aggregate exposure to a series of compounds with the same biological mechanism is called cumulative exposure assessment.

<h3>What is cumulative exposure?</h3>

Because cumulative exposure evaluations evaluate exposure to numerous stressors via different pathways, they are referred to as "combined exposure assessments." Exposures to a single stressor are estimated using aggregate evaluations from different sources and pathways.

Cumulative evaluations portray real-world exposure more accurately, but they also provide an element of complexity not seen in typical exposure assessments , which evaluate stressors separately.

Which of the following is true about offspring resulting from a cross that yielded TT, Tt, TT, ans Tt?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Additional detail found elsewhere: (T = Tall and t = short)

Answer:

All are expected to be tall

Explanation:

We are told that the T allele produces the tall trait, and the t allele produces the short trait.

Because the tall allele is denoted by an uppercase letter, it means it is the dominant allele, meaning if it is present even in one copy, the trait will be expressed. This is in contrast to the recessive short allele, 2 copies are needed for the trait to be expressed.

Individuals have 2 copies of every gene. Offspring that are TT, Tt, TT, and Tt all have at least one copy of the T (tall allele). Because this is the dominant allele, that means all of these offspring would be expected to be tall.

Groundwater helps to replenish our freshwater lakes and rivers. In two or more complete sentences, describe a source of contamin
Viefleur [7K]

The agriculture is one of the biggest contaminators of the groundwater. The contamination happens through the usage of chemicals in the agriculture for protection of the plants, or to encourage their growth. Part of those chemicals mange to wash through the soil and reach the groundwater. The majority of the groundwater is connected with the lakes and the rivers, thus the chemicals reach those waters as well. This makes these waters unusable for the humans because they are becoming toxic. The end result would be much less freshwater for usage, be it fro drinking, or for housework, as it can cause serious damage and even death if used, so a shortage of water would be inevitable.

John and Pat are identical twins with identical DNA. John works in a movie theater, and Pat works as a lifeguard. They have very
aliya0001 [1]
John and Pat's occupation best explains the difference between their skin pigmentation. Since Pat works as a lifeguard, she is more exposed to the sun, which tans her skin. John, on the other hand, works in the theater, where he isn't exposed to sunlight that much, so he is much lighter than his twin, Pat.

Explain how the elements that form clouds are conserved during the carbon cycle.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

he carbon cycle is the circulation and transformation of carbon back and forth between living things and the environment. Carbon is an element, something that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. Other examples of elements are oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, iron, and hydrogen. Carbon compounds are present in living things like plants and animals and in nonliving things like rocks and soil. Carbon compounds can exist as solids (such as diamonds or coal), liquids (such as crude oil), or gases (such as carbon dioxide). Carbon is often referred to as the "building block of life" because living things are based on carbon and carbon compounds.

The Carbon CycleSource: NASAClick to enlarge

The amount of carbon on the earth and in Earth's atmosphere is fixed, but that fixed amount of carbon is dynamic, always changing into different carbon compounds and moving between living and nonliving things. Carbon is released to the atmosphere from what are called "carbon sources" and stored in plants, animals, rocks, and water in what are called "carbon sinks." This process occurs in a number of steps. In the first step, through photosynthesis (the process by which plants capture the sun's energy and use it to grow), plants take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and release oxygen. The carbon dioxide is converted into carbon compounds that make up the body of the plant, which are stored in both the aboveground parts of the plants (shoots and leaves), and the belowground parts (roots). In the next step, animals eat the plants, breath in the oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide created by animals is then available for plants to use in photosynthesis. Carbon stored in plants that are not eaten by animals eventually decomposes after the plants die, and is either released into the atmosphere or stored in the soil.

Large quantities of carbon can be released to the atmosphere thr
