<u>Answer</u>:

The activation of parasympathetic nervous system results in the relaxation of the GI tract.  

<u>Explanation</u>:

Parasympathetic nervous system helps the brain to understand that the danger is now over and it can relax. Hormones named corticotropin and adrenocorticotropin which are realising the body to start working against danger is now going to be relaxed with relaxation of parasympathetic nervous system. This is how sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system works together co-ordinate together in fight or flight mechanism of the nervous system.

The body fight or flight response is under the control of sympathetic nervous system, which is one part of autonomic nervous system. The another part is parasympathetic nervous system that relaxes and slow down the body's response.

Soil erosion is a process where the top soil layer is washed away because of the effects of water or wind. An agricultural area
Lana71 [14]

Answer: Plant vegetation so that their roots hold the soil firmly.

Build walls around the farm area.

Add natural fertilizers to the soil.

Soil erosion is a process of removal of top layer of soil which get sediment at some other place due to the affect of agents like wind and water. The superficial upper layers of soil are rich source of nutrients and organic matter and active region for germination of seeds and plant growth. Soil erosion removes these superficial layers making soil less fertile or not fertile and less useful for plant growth.

Plants growing in a vegetation have roots which can hold the soil and will prevent soil erosion from wind and water or any other agent. Building of walls around the farm area will prevent flood water to get inside the farm area and hence, prevents soil erosion by water. Addition of natural fertilizers to the soil adds up nutrients to the soil which facilitate plant growth and plant roots hold the soil therefore, prevents soil erosion.

How do sodium and potassium leak channels play a role in the development of the negative membrane potential of the axolemma (pla
kirza4 [7]
The plasma membrane of axon is called axolemma. The potassium and sodium leak channels leak the sodium and potassium ions inside the cell respectively. The leak channels provide the constant movement of ions across the membrane. Potassium and sodium ions are positively charged, thus entry of positively charged ions inside the cell makes the cell more positively charged than the environment outside the cell. The environment outside the cell becomes more negatively charged. This leads in the negative membrane potential of axolemma.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Astrocytes

Explanation:

Astrocytes are the most abundant cells in the central nervous system that twine around nerve cells supporting the brain and spinal cord. They perform many functions; such as providing the nuerons with nutrients, control the blood brain barrrier and blood flow. Astrocytes are basically responsible for maintaining the central nervous system homeostasis.

Yanka [14]

Growth Hormone and insulin are protein hormones that promotes the growth and regulation of substrate metabolism.

Explanation:

The Growth Hormone performs the metabolic actions in various tissues like liver, muscle, and pancreas through insulin growth factor. Insulin slows down the growth hormone signalling through the growth hormone receptor. It is important for maintaining the responsiveness of liver to growth hormone.

The insulin signalling pathway is very important in metabolic diseases like diabetes and aging. These insulin activates a phosphorylation cascade that branches to form a network affecting multiple biological processes.

Researchers believe that in a fish species, individuals with the recessive genotype aa are predisposed to disease. Homozygous do
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The homozygous dominant phenotype is higher than expected, indicating that evolution has occurred.

Explanation:

At the start there are 200 fishes in the pond, 100 of them are AA(50%) and 100 of them are aa(50%). Using the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium equation we can say that the gene frequency is

A=0.5

a=0.5

With those frequency, the expected percentage of offspring with dominant genotype will be:

AA= 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25 = 25%

The number of homozygous dominant found is 35% which is higher than expected  (25%). Higher homozygous dominant frequency than expected means the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium is changed. In this case, evolution probably the cause that shifts the gene frequency.
