Answer:

Santi is walking barefoot through his yard when he steps on a sharp rock. The skin on the bottom of his foot sends this information through a(n) sensory neuron to his CNS. A(n) interneuron picks up this information and carries it to motor neurons of the CNS, which sends a signal to the muscles in his foot causing his foot to pull away from the rock.

Explanation:

The scenarios discussed in the question is known as a reflex action. In this action, specific receptors detect specific stimuli. For example, pain in the barefoot due to steeping on a sharp rock was the stimuli. This stimulus was detected by the sensory neurons. The sensory neurons turned this information into a chemical signal which was transported by the interneurons to the motor neurons of the CNS. The CNS detected the signal and gave information for a response as a result of which Santi pulled back his feet.

Current studies on frogs and wildlife indicate that hormonally active agents (HAAs) are __________. a. found in insecticides and

melomori [17]

The right answer is A.

The term "hormonally active agent" (or endocrine disruptor) refers to any molecule or compound chemical agent, xenobiotic having hormono-mimetic properties and described as a cause of physiological abnormalities, and in particular reproductive abnormalities. Some examples are PCB, TCDD, DDT. Some of them were used as pesticides and are now banned for use. Their traces always exist at the soil level due to their persistence.

These agents are most often associated with breast cancer.

Which food molecule (monosaccharide, polysaccharide, lipid, or protein) would you eat if...

torisob [31]

You needed a quick boost of energy - MONOSACCHARIDE

You wanted to grow strong nails, you haven't eaten in days - PROTEIN

You wanted to grow healthy hair - PROTEIN

You had a race tomorrow afternoon - POLYSACCHARIDE

You were getting ready for hibernation - LIPIDS

You wanted to get bigger muscles - PROTEIN

Your meal will be in a week - LIPIDS

CARBOHYDRATES include monosaccharide and polysaccharides. They provide immediate energy boost or short term energy storage for animals as well as long term energy storage for plants.

PROTEIN speeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy. It is used to form bones and build muscles. It is made up of an amino group, a carboxyl group, and an R group.

LIPIDS can be saturated or unsaturated fatty acids. They are not soluble in water however they provide long-term energy storage for animals.

The heritability for human traits, such as nearsightedness, _____.

monitta

Heritability is a measure that is used to estimate the variation of phenotypic traits (observable traits) in a given population due to the variation or changes in the genetic make up (genotype) among certain individuals. some of these traits includes color blindness, tongue rolling and curly hair among others. However, some traits such as nearsightedness are caused or influenced by the changes in the environment and therefore Heritability is not a factor to consider when dealing with such traits.

Transpiration in plants requires _____. i) adhesion of water molecules to cellulose ii) cohesion between water molecules iii) ev

Paraphin [41]

Transpiration in plants requires adhesion of water molecules to cellulose, cohesion between water molecules, evaporation of water molecules and transport through tracheids. Cohesion between water molecules is as a result of hydrogen bonds between the oxygen atom of one water molecule and a hydrogen atom of another water molecule. Transpiration involves the release of water through the leaves in pores called stomata, this serves as a method of excretion of excess water and diffused gases.
