Troposphere
The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region.
Stratosphere
The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.
Mesosphere
The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85 kilometers (53 miles) high. Meteors burn up in this layer
Thermosphere
The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.
Ionosphere
The ionosphere is an abundant layer of electrons and ionized atoms and molecules that stretches from about 48 kilometers (30 miles) above the surface to the edge of space at about 965 km (600 mi), overlapping into the mesosphere and thermosphere. This dynamic region grows and shrinks based on solar conditions and divides further into the sub-regions: D, E and F; based on what wavelength of solar radiation is absorbed. The ionosphere is a critical link in the chain of Sun-Earth interactions. This region is what makes radio communications possible.
Exosphere
This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere up to 10,000 km (6,200 mi).
Answer:
The digestive system!
Explanation:
The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract - a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus - and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food.
Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine - also called the colon - rectum, and anus.
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options-
A) Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)
B) Acetylcholine
C) Dopamine
D) Serotonin
Answer:
The correct answer will be option- Dopamine
Explanation:
Parkinson's disease is one of the movement disorders which gets worse with time. The disease is caused due to the degeneration of the neurons in the brain which are responsible for the body movement.
Although many brain areas are affected the most common result is due to the loss of neurons in the substantia nigra in which the neurons produce a neurotransmitter called dopamine which is responsible for the body movements.
Thus, Dopamine is the correct answer.
Answer:
it is the third option: DNA reads the nucleotide sequences found in genes. Genes are located on tightly wound structures called chromosomes.
Explanation:
Answer:
A nerve impulse from one neuron affects the activity of a neighboring neuron at a point of interaction called the: SYNAPSE
Explanation:
A NEURON(or nerve cell) has 3 parts:
1. The dendrites(multiple)
2. The axon
3. The cell body
A SYNAPSE is an area where the dendrites of one neuron communicates with the axon of another neuron.
At the synapse, nerve impulses are transmitted from one neuron to the other. This is possible through substances called NEUROTRANSMITTERS. There is no direct contact between the axon of one neuron and dendrites of another neuron.
