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.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

B. 100 percent yellow seeds

Explanation:

When a gene has two alleles and one allele is dominant over the other, the dominant allele is expressed in the heterozygous state and the expression of the recessive allele is masked. According to the given information, the allele for yellow seed color is dominant over the allele for the green seed color.

Let's assume that the allele "Y" gives yellow color to the seeds while the allele "y" is responsible for green seed color. A cross between two pure breeding yellow seeded (YY) and green seeded (yy) plants would produce all the yellow seeded progeny with genotype "Yy".

YY (Yellow) x yy (green) = Yy (yellow)

Difference between plant and animal kerb cycle
otez555 [7]
Difference between plant and animal respiration would be the procurement of glucose and oxygen (for Krebs's cycle). Animals obtain their glucose,by breakdown of carbohydrates in diet,while plants photosynthesize their glucose.

Different organs have different energy and metabolic fuel requirements. Match the organs listed below with the fuel sources each
Stels [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

brain-

Glucose is the major fuel for the brain metabolism to supply energy for synaptic transmissions. Average of -120g/day.However during hypoglacemia, keto bodies can be used by the brain for energy supply.

the fuel stores of the brain is very low because of high biochemical activities of the brain  which need to  be supplied with  contant fuel.Although it stores little Glycogen, most fuel supply to the brain is from the circulating glucose in the blood.

Heart.

the high  energy consuming  activities of the heart ensured that molecules with abundant energy supply e.g fatty acids from lipids digestion is preferred. Keto bodies, acetoacetate and lactate can also be fuel . Glucose is last on the scale of preference for the heart  as fuel.

It does not reserve or export any fuel.

Liver.

the complex metabolic  and multi functional activities  of the liver required constant supply of energy in all available forms. Thus  glucose, Amino acids and fatty acids are sources of fuel for the liver.

The liver fuel reserve is in the form of glycogen which is stimulated by glucagon to convert to glucose during condition of hypoglycemia. Triacylglycerols is another fuel reserve.

Generally as products of metabolic activities in the liver, fatty acid from lipid metabolisms, Glucose from gluconeogenesis, and glycogensis, and ketone bodies are the export sources.
