Fudgin [204]1 year ago

An excitatory post synaptic potential has a reversal potential more positive than the action potential threshold, whereas an inhibitory post synaptic potential has a reversal potential more negative than threshold.

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP) carry the neuron's potential closer to its volatile threshold. on the other hand Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSP) change the charge across the membrane to be further from the volatile threshold.

These potentials are also known as graded potential because their size or amplitude is directly proportional to the strength of the triggering event. Example include when large stimulus leads to the generation of a strong graded response and a small stimulus leads to the generation of a weak graded response.

Explain why there is a limited number of organisms in a food chain
tankabanditka [31]
There are different trophic levels at each stage. Trophic levels determine the amount of energy at each stage of the food chain. For example, the energy is 100% at the producer (plant), so it's the 1st trophic level, and so on. Energy amounts decrease as you go up a food chain, and you rarely find more than 5 animals in one because there is not enough energy left for the 6th consumer
