Imagine taking a bite of a pizza. Briefly discuss the role that each part of the brain takes in this simple act. Medulla, Pons, Cerebellum, Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Amygdala, Hippocampus, Parietal Lobe, Occipital Lobe, Temporal Lobe, Frontal Lobe.

Answers

Answer:

- Medulla: transmits signals between the spinal cord and higher brain levels

- Pons: transmits impulses related to the voluntary skeletal movements from the cerebrum to the cerebellum

- Cerebellum: coordinates skeletal muscle contraction, conscious/subconscious movements, maintains muscle posture, and balance

- Thalamus: regulation of the human nervous system

- Hypothalamus: maintains the overall homeostasis of the body

- Amygdala: processes fearful and threatening stimuli  

- Hippocampus: regulates learning, memory encoding and consolidation, and spatial navigation

- Parietal Lobe: processes information from the outside world (e.g., touch, taste, temperature)

- Occipital Lobe: interprets information from the eyes

- Temporal Lobes:  process sensory information (i.e., pain and auditory stimuli)

- Frontal Lobe:  higher cognitive functions (e.g., memory, problem-solving, emotions, impulse control, etc)

Explanation:

The medulla (medulla oblongata) is the lowest portion of the brainstem, which is linked by the pons to the midbrain and continues with the spinal cord. The medulla is known to transmit signals between the spinal cord and higher brain levels, thereby controlling autonomic activities (e.g., heartbeat and respiration). The pons is a mass of transverse nerve fibers that links the medulla with the cerebellum, it transmits signals from the forebrain to the cerebellum. The pons is involved in different functions, e.g., sleep, respiration, hearing, equilibrium, taste, eye movement, swallowing, bladder regulation, facial expression, etc. The cerebellum is a small part of the brain involved in physical movements (e.g., posture, balance, coordination), which receives sensory information from sensory systems, the spinal cord, and different parts of the brain. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, it is involved in speech, thinking, reasoning, problem-solving, emotions, initiating/coordinating movements, regulating temperature, learning, etc. The thalamus is a mass of gray matter located in the forebrain which is involved in diverse functions (i.e., relay of sensory signals, regulation of consciousness, sleep, alertness, etc). The hypothalamus is a small, central, area of the brain that connects the nervous to the endocrine system that acts to maintain the overall homeostasis of the body. The amygdala is a structure located in each hemisphere of the brain that processes fearful and threatening stimuli. The hippocampus is a structure located in the depths of the temporal lobe that regulates learning, memory encoding and consolidation, and spatial navigation. The parietal lobe is located at the upper back area in the skull, it is involved in processing sensory information from the surrounding world (e.g., touch, taste, temperature). The occipital lobes are responsible for transmitting visual information to the temporal lobes, and they are also associated with memory skills. The frontal lobe is the most anterior part of the brain, which is involved in higher cognitive functions (e.g., social interaction, motor function, memory, emotions, impulse control, problem-solving, etc).

Explanation:

In terms of base nucleotides, explain the only difference between the DNA message for normal hemoglobin and the DNA message for sickle-cell hemoglobin.

Answers

Answer:

In the 1950s, Vernon Ingram demonstrated that the only structural difference between normal adult hemoglobin and sickle-cell hemoglobin is the replacement of glutamic acid with valine in the β-globin amino acid chain (Ingram, 1957; 1959).

Crust is broken down
Earths crust moves
Earths plates meet
Sea floor spreading

Answers

It has to be either A or B bc the other 2 were already used, I would go with B) earth crust moves

The next step in the process is sea floor spreading. The correct option is D.

What is sea floor spreading?

Tectonic plates, which are huge chunks of the lithosphere of the Earth, split apart from one another during the geologic process of seafloor spreading.

The oceanic basin is the result of sea floor spreading.

The ocean crust and its basins are formed when the sea floor spreads and separates after the basin has been filled with water.

All of these result from various plate interactions within the planet.

New ocean floors are created by volcanic activity at spreading centers at divergent borders after the crust has developed and accumulated water.

The production of fresh crust occurs close to the margin, and subsequent crusts push against and away from it. Ocean basins are created by the development of new ocean floors.

Thus, the correct option is D.

Explanation:

Higher plants, lower plants (mosses) and ferns undergo a life cycle called ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS. In this life cycle, they switch between a haplontic and diplontic forms of life.

The haplontic (haploid) life form which produces haploid (n) gametes is called GAMETOPHYTE while the diplontic (diploid) life form which produces the spores that germinates is called SPOROPHYTE. Hence, sporophyte and gametophyte are two different forms a plant can have.

Answers

Answer:

Protein

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms.

Cell specialization is also referred to as cell differentiation and it can be defined as a biological process through which generic cells transform into specific cell types, so as to enable them perform certain functions within the body of a living organism.

Simply stated, it's the special function or job in the body of a living organism that are associated with cells.

Generally, cell specialization plays a significant role in the development of embryos.

Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature.

A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.

Cell specialization is fundamental and key for the growth and development of a multicellular organism.

Furthermore, cell specialization as a process is most directly regulated by protein; one super regulating protein encourages cell differentiation while the other tries to stop or prevent the process. These proteins are referred to as master regulating proteins or Helix-Loop-Helix proteins.

Fruit trees in a forest are an important habitat for a bird species and were historically a major source of food for a rodent species. Over time, the rodent species shifted their feeding behavior from fruit trees to nut trees. As rodent behavior changed, the density of fruit trees decreased, which caused significant decreases to the bird population. What kind of effect did the change in rodents exert on bird population size?

Answers

Answer:

The bird population might have to migrate in search for food or may decline in numbers.

Explanation:

2.- Formación de un organismo a partir de huevos

Answers

Answer:

1. Vivíparo

2. Ooviparismo

Explanation:

Viviparismo se define como el proceso de desarrollo de un animal en el cual el embrión crece dentro dentro del sistema reproductor femenino en una estructura acorde que le permite obtener alimento y oxígeno hasta su nacimiento. El viviparismo placentario es el tipo de desarrollo más extendido entre mamíferos (por ejemplo, perros, caballos, gatos, conejos, etc), a excepción de mamíferos que son ovíparos (por ejemplo, el ornitorrinco) y los mamíferos marsupiales que no poseen placenta y donde feto se desarrolla en una bolsa externa llamada marsupio (por ejemplo, los canguros). Por otra parte, el oviparismo es un mecanismo de desarrollo en el cual el embrión crece dentro de un huevo desde el momento que la hembra lo expulsa hacia el exterior. Cuando se produce este suceso, los embriones se encuentran muy poco desarrollados y por lo tanto deben cumplir su ciclo de crecimiento (hasta eclosionar del huevo) fuera del vientre materno. Algunos ejemplos de animales ovíparos incluyen anfibios, reptiles, aves, insectos, etc.
