Unlike this fission bomb, the hydrogen bomb functions by the fusion, or joining together, of lighter elements into heavier elements. The end product again weighs less than its components, the difference once more appearing as energy.
Report Abuse. Afferent pathways send information to your central nervous system (CNS), or peripheral nervous system (PNS). Efferent pathways send signals from those two locations to your muscles. Taste, sight, hearing, etc. are all afferent pathways. A reflex arc, or simply reflex, is then caused by an afferent pathway signaling to the PNS (Spinal cord), which then immediately signals muscles to react.
biosynthetic pathway the sequence of enzymatic steps in the synthesis of a specific end-product in a living organism. classical complement pathway see complement. coagulation p's see common p. of coagulation, extrinsic p. of coagulation, and intrinsic p. of coagulation. common pathway of coagulation the steps in the mechanism of coagulation (see clotting) from the activation of factor x through the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. See also intrinsic pathway of coagulation and extrinsic pathway of coagulation.
