Answer:

The correct option is b) motor output of the spinal cord

Explanation:

Motor neurons, also called afferent neurons, drive impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the receptors (eg, muscles). They are the motor output component of the spinal cord.

The spinal cord is a cord of nerve tissue that runs inside the spine. It conducts the nerve impulses that arrive from the receptors to the brain, and the responses with the motor orders from the brain to the effector organs. Thus, the brain receives the information and can develop an order that modifies the reflex response given by the spinal cord. A spinal nerve has two nerve roots: a motor and a sensory root. The motor root has nerve fibers that carry signals from the spinal cord, to the muscles to stimulate contraction and produce muscle movements, the fibers are efferent as they leave the medulla to the periphery through the anterior roots of the spinal nerves.

How do the water molecules behave differently in each situation. for science
Elis [28]
The behaviour of molecules in different phases of matter represents a balance between the kinetic energies of the molecules and the attractive forces between them.
All molecules are attracted to each other. At the same time, all molecules are in constant motion, and their kinetic energies increase with the temperature.
At very low temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules is low. The molecules cannot move fast enough to get away from the attractions of their neighbours. They are “glued” in place in a crystalline arrangement. The molecules are in the solid state.
At higher temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules is higher. The molecules will have enough energy to slide past their neighbours, but not enough energy to escape their attractions. The system is in the liquid state.
At very high temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules is so high that the molecules will be able to escape the attractions of their neighbours and move at will within the container. The system is in the gas state
