O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/12/O/N/22
Question 24 from 5090/12/O/N/22

Explanation

Reflex Arc Pathway Sequence

Steps:

  • Identify the flow chart as a reflex arc, starting with stimulus detection.
  • Label E as Receptor, which detects the stimulus.
  • Follow with F as Sensory neuron, transmitting signals to the CNS.
  • Continue to G as Relay neuron in the CNS for processing.
  • End with H as Motor neuron to I as Effector for response.

Why C is correct:

  • It follows the biological definition of a reflex arc: receptor detects stimulus, sensory neuron relays to CNS via relay neuron, motor neuron activates effector.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A misplaces effector first and includes brain instead of relay, disrupting sequence.
  • B swaps sensory and relay while ending with effector incorrectly as I.
  • D starts correctly but jumbles motor, sensory, and adds brain erroneously.

Final answer: C
