I think the thalamus is the gateway to the cerebral cortex. Thalamus is a small structure within the brain located just above the brain stem between the cerebral cortex and the mid brain and has extensive nerve connections to both. Its main function is to relay motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex. A sensory impulse travels from the body surface towards the thalamus, which receives it as a sensation, which is then passed onto the cerebral cortex for interpretation as touch, pain or temperature.
<h2>Sugar beet harvest </h2>
Explanation:
Sugar beets have to be harvested and stockpiled in September because they have to get the root out of the ground before the ground freezes
- Sugar beets are harvested with two primary pieces of equipment
- The defoliator removes the green leaves and slices a slab from the top of the sugar beet root
- This removed slab is the growing point of the sugar beet and contains high levels of impurities, which impede the factories ability to extract the sugar from the remainder of the harvested root
- The sugar beet root is then harvested with a pinch wheel harvester, which pinches the root and lifts from the soil
- The sugar beet harvester also separates some soil and conveys the sugar beet into a truck to be transported to a receiving station
The correct answers are B & C. Silicon-32 is the parent isotope, which decays into phosphorus-32 (daughter isotope). The silicon-32 amount is halved every 170 years, so we can use this to determine how old the rock is. The amount of phosphorus-32 increases over time, but it is not equal to the amount of silicon-32.
