Which portion of the brainstem serves as the relay center between the cerebrum and the cerebellum? a. the diencephalon b. the mid brain c. the pons d. the medulla oblongata

option C) The pons

Explanation:

The pons is a band of nerve fibers located within the brain stem. It links the fore brain (cerebrum) to the hind brain (cerebellum)

The pons

Explanation: Brain stem serves as a relay station which passes messages to and fro between the various parts of the body and the cerebrum. It has three parts, the midbrain, the pons and medulla oblongata. The pons is a group of nerves that transmit signals from the cerebrum to the cerebellum.

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
