Ans.

A reflex action may defined as an instantaneous and involuntary action in response to an environmental stimulus. The reflex arcs (neural pathways) are responsible for the functioning of reflex actions as they act on impulses before these impulses reach the brain.  

Corneal reflex or blink reflex is an example of reflex action that involves blinking of eyelids due to corneal stimulation, such as by a foreign body, intense light, or bu touching) to protect eye.  

Thus, the correct answer is option B). 'blinking when light is flashed in the eyes.'

Which of these statements describes some aspect of facilitated diffusion?a.Facilitated diffusion is another name for osmosis.b.F
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is a form of passive transport hence no energy is required by the cell. This means that while the molecules are moving down a concentration gradient – line normal diffusion – the movement of the molecules needs to be facilitated (in this case by a transmembrane protein) either because the molecule is polar and can't pass through the hydrophobic region of the cell membrane, or the molecule is too big to passively pass through the small natural pores of the cell membrane.

Drag each label to the correct location on the Punnett square. The Punnett square illustrates a cross for flower position in the
Minchanka [31]

Hello :3 :3

Your question is related to genetics.

Taking a look at your question, A is dominant and axial, while a is recessive and terminal.

If you cross-breed these two pea plants, and you drew the Punnett square, you would end up with Aa (100%) heterozygous on the F1 generation.


Now, on the F2 generation, you would end up with                                                                                                     AA (25%) - Aa (50%) - aa (25%).  AA is homozygous dominant, Aa is heterozygous, and aa is homozygous recessive.

morpeh [17]

Answer:

NADPH

ribose 5-phosphate

G6P

Nonoxidative

glycolytic

Explanation:

  • The pentose phosphate pathway is a two‑stage pathway that generates NADPH which is a reductant in many biosynthetic reactions and takes part in detoxifying reactive oxygen species, and ribose 5-phosphate which is a nucleotide (DNA and RNA) precursor.
  • The substrate for the pentose phosphate pathway is G6P.
  • Nonoxidative the is the phase of the pentose phosphate pathway interconverts phosphorylated monosaccharides, some of which can feed into the glycolytic pathway.

Protist taxonomy has changed greatly in recent years as relationships have been re-examined using newer approaches. How do newer
Elis [28]

Answer:

The protists refer to the unicellular eukaryotic species, which comprise algae, fungi, and protozoa. Of these some are autotrophs and some are heterotrophs. They exhibit the tendency to survive in aquatic surroundings because of their feeding habits.  

In older approaches, protists are categorized on the basis of their morphology. However, by using novel approaches like molecular genetics, they are being categorized on the basis of their genetics.
