"The first step of an action potential involves a large concentration of _____ passing through the cell membrane."

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Sodium

Explanation:

An action potential is a wave of electrical discharge that travels along the cell membrane modifying its electrical charge distribution. Action potentials are used in the body to carry information between tissues, making them an essential feature for life.

They can be generated by various types of body cells, but the most active in their use are the cells of the nervous system to send messages between nerve cells (synapses) or from nerve cells to other body tissues, such as muscle or glands. There is always a potential difference or membrane potential between the inner and outer part of the cell membrane (usually ~70 mV). The charge of an active cell membrane remains negative (inside vs. outside) and varies within narrow images.

The difference in membrane potential is due to the differential distribution of ions (mostly chlorine and sodium on the outside of the cell, and potassium and organic anions on the inside). The cause of the action potential is the exchange of ions across the cell membrane. First, a stimulus opens the sodium channels. Since there are some sodium ions on the outside, and the inside of the neuron is negative relative to the outside, the sodium ions quickly enter the neuron. Sodium is positively charged, so the neuron becomes more positive and begins to depolarize. Potassium channels take a little longer to open; once opened, potassium quickly leaves the cell, reversing the depolarization. At about this time, the sodium channels begin to close, bringing the action potential back to -70 mV (repolarization).

Answers

Answer:

A) higher latitudes receive less sunlight producing cold biomes

Explanation:

Biomes are determined primarily by temperature and precipitation. Generally speaking, biomes at higher latitudes (further away from the equator) are cooler and drier. Closer to the equator, biomes are generally warmer and wetter, as warmer air holds more moisture than colder air.

What is the outcome of all chemical changes when two substances are combined?

A- A new substance forms with identical properties

B- The two substances release an odor

C- The two substances change color

D- A new substance forms with different properties​

Answers

Ans: D

Chemical changes:-
occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. These processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions.

Hope this can help.

Answer:

D- A new substance forms with different properties​

Explanation:

When a chemical change occurs, it causes the matter to form into a completely new substance. Because of this, the new substance will have different properties than the original substance. Options B and C are true for some chemical changes, but not all changes. Option A is incorrect because the substance has different properties than the original substance. Thus, Option D is correct.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer would be D, Ocean trenches/spreading centers mapped.

Explanation:

I hope this helps you. :)

The statement that doesn't describe evidences as regards Continental Drift Hypothesis is  : B: . Identical rock types found of continents separated by vast oceans.

Continental drift can be regarded as theory which gives explanation about the shifting and changing of position of  continents on Earth's surface.

This theory was set set up by Alfred Wegener, in the year 1912, continental drift help us to understand the similarities between look-alike animal as well as plant fossils, and how they were found on different continents.

Another evidence of this is how continents fit together like massive jigsaw puzzle pieces

Answers

Answer:

Viruses: Found in extreme environments. Cannot survive outside of a host cell, can only be seen with an electron microscope

Fungi: Obtain nutrition from organic or inorganic sources or carry out photosynthesis. It is not usually associated with human diseases. Eukaryote: It can be unicellular or multicellular.

Bacteria: They have cell walls that contain peptidoglycan. Found in extreme environments (via spores)

Explanation:

In the part of the answer, the answer was given by grouping the different characteristics of the microorganisms, classifying them into three groups.

Viruses are considered microorganisms that need the replicative machine to reproduce their RNA or DNA, this is how it is doubted whether they are living organisms or not.

Fungi belong to a very broad group of subtypes, but they all refer to the fungi kingdom, they are in the form of spores in the soil or in the air, those fungi that are considered pathogens for humans, such as the generators of histoplasmosis, or blastomycosis. Most fungi are not pathogenic to our body, so some are edible, such as yeast.

On the other hand, and finally we have bacteria, which are a family that is classified into many groups according to their genus and species, their shape is what determines their nomenclature, such as those coconuts, which are grouped together in a of bunch of grapes and are called thus streptococcus in synonymous to this method of colonization and form. Many bacteria are typical of our commensal flora or microbiota, others are not, thus generating opportunistic infections or severe infections.

Suppose that you were discussing cell theory with someone who has little understanding of biology. Which object could you best use as an analogy to explain the evolutionary history of modern cells?

Answers

Answer:

evolution of human works

Explanation:

The cell theory states that all living forms are composed of cells. These cells are the basic structural units of all organisms and they evolved from pre-existing cells present in primitive living forms. From a biological point of view, the evolution of cells is similar to the evolution of human works, which were during the beginning of human civilization less specialized than in modern times. Likewise, somatic cells present in evolutionary recent multicellular organisms are capable of carrying out more complex functions than primitive cells present in unicellular organisms.

How could the tomato plants response to being eaten by a hornworm caterpillar be described as a function of homeostasis

Answers

Answer:

First, it's important to get clear on the meaning of Homeostasis.

In simple terms, it refers to the capacity of a living thing (plant or animal) to react or behave in such a way that enables it to continue to survive irrespective of changes in its immediate environment.

       

Explanation:

In humans, the body has a system which reacts to the external stimuli of temprature. When the weather is hot, the brain through a sequence of electrical and chemical signals tells the skin to open up the pore, then we experience venting of sweating which cools the body and regulates internal heat. This is an instance of homeostasis.

This does not mean that the plant or animal is completely immune to such external changes.

In the case of the tomato plant, the hair on the leaves and stem of the plant is an example of Homeostatic responses which have evolved over the years to discourage predators such as the hornworm caterpillar from defoliating the plant.

Cheers!

Answer:

Please find the detailed explanation to this question below.

Explanation:

Firstly, homeostasis is the ability of an organism to use internally-controlled mechanisms to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in its external environment. Homeostasis is an important phenomenon necessary for the survival of living organisms.

Hornworms caterpillar are notorious pests of tomato plants. However, tomato plants have been found not to stand still and get devoured. The plant responds to being eaten by these caterpillars by releasing chemicals that distracts their attention from the host plant and instead the caterpillars feed on one another.

Getting fed on by plants can disrupt the internal structure of plants, hence, the release of this defense chemicals by tomato plants is physiologically controlled in response to environmental stress i.e. pests, and it is done in order to maintain a stable internal condition. Therefore, the response of tomato plants to caterpillar pests is a FUNCTION of HOMEOSTASIS.

the body's response
. ,

Answers

Answer:

Breathing in human on land or during swimming or scuba diving, the human inhales oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide, These carbon dioxide molecules creates "air bubbles" that are then ousted into the water body. The diver at that point draws air from the pressurized air tank, and can inhale or breath. This permits the diver to remain submerged for any longer than only one inhale, and can travel deeper underwater.

Inside this framework, the Oxygen is primary input to the oxygen tanks, which are then utilized by the scuba diver. The diver would draw the oxygen from the tank considered as output in this system.

Explanation:

Snake is a reptile and almost used vertebrates and non-vertebrates in their nutrition. There are few species that are specialized in egg feeder, snake is one of that.

Most of the species has to fed 1 2 in a week. Snake used to eat most pups, mice, rabbits and ducks. Both frog and snake are carnivores. They eat prey, insects, mammals. Both snake and frog comes under the food chain. Frog eaten by snake or snake can eat frog.

Answer:

All animals are other-feeders. Their cells cannot make food for themselves like plant cells can. They gain energy and nutrients by eating other living things. The snake will get energy and nutrients by eating the frog. Frogs get energy and nutrients by eating other living things, such as insects and worms.

A grassy meadow high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of eastern California is known to support a variety of organisms. During the summers when grass is thick and lush, and wildflowers abound, butterflies take advantage of this abundant nectar source. Bears graze on the berries in shrubs at the edge of the meadow. Deer also forage at the edge of the meadow. In the early mornings, coyotes are known to prey on the squirrel and mouse populations that burrow into the meadow soil. A variety of birds prey on the butterflies and other flying insects, such as bees and wasps.​


If the biomass of flowers that support the butterflies was known to contain 100,000 units of energy, and certain bird species were eating the butterflies that foraged on the flowers, what amount of energy, on average, could be expected to be transferred to the birds?​
Group of answer choices

​a)100

​b1,000

​c10

​d10,000

​e50,000

Answers

Answer:

b) 1,000

Explanation:

In a typical food chain as described in this question, flow of energy occurs from one organism to another when they feed/fed upon. As one organism feeds, energy gets transferred to it. However, only about 10% of the available energy in the lower trophic level gets transferred because majority of the energy (about 90%) is lost as heat during metabolic processes of the organism.

Hence, if a flower contains approximately 100,000 units of energy and is fed on by butterflies. 10% of 100, 000 = 10,000 units gets transferred to the butterflies.

Likewise, the butterflies gets fed on by certain bird species. 10% of the available 10,000 units of energy in the butterfly gets transferred to the birds.

= 10/100 × 10,000 = 1000 units of energy.
