Selective adaptation is when we view a stimulus with a specific property, and the neurons tune to that property fire, eventually becoming fatigued.

Neurons tune to a particular attribute fire when we see a stimulus with that property; over time, this firing fatigues the neurons or causes them to adapt. The neuron's firing rate drops due to this adaptation and fires less often when the same stimulus is provided to it again right away.

For instance, a page of plain black text on a white backdrop will undoubtedly capture your attention and make it easier for you to identify important information. However, if you keep viewing pages and pages of mainly neon pink highlights, you'll probably grow accustomed to them, and they will eventually stop drawing your attention.

Which term best describes the number of calories the body uses at rest??
Sever21 [200]
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

<span>body mass index
basal metabolic rate
resting heart rate
resting caloric count
</span>
I believe the correct answer is the second option. The term that describes the <span>number of calories the body uses at rest would be basal metabolic rate. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

An experiment was performed to study the progress of cells through the mitotic cell cycle. The compounds listed below were used
Hatshy [7]
<h2>Mitotic Cell Cycle</h2>

Explanation:

a. Cytochalasin: an inhibitor of actin microfilament

  • Cytokinesis is the process by which cytoplasm is divided into two cells hence generation of two daughter cells
  • In animal cells the division of cytoplasm starts with the assembly of contractile ring
  • Contractile band consists of actin and myosin and catalyze cleavage furrow formation
  • Cytochalasin is a drug that blocks the polymerization of actin filament
  • When cytochalasin is added dividing cell fails to undergo in cytokinesis due to defective assembly of contractile band

b. Colchicine: an inhibitor of microtubule formation

  • Colchicine tightly binds with free tubulin dimer and prevents its polymerization
  • In this case mitotic spindle apparatus do not assemble and cells unable to do partitioning of chromosomes into two groups
  • Thus cell division is arrested

c. Aphidicolin: an inhibitor of DNA Polymerase activity

  • Aphidicolin is used to induce cell cycle arrest via specific inhibition of DNA Polymerase α
  • It blocks the cell cycle at early synthesis(S) phase

d. Emetine: an inhibitor of ribosome activity

  • It blocks the protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells by binding to small subunit(40 S) of ribosomes
  • It interferes with the synthesis and activities of DNA and RNA

Explain why the symptoms of celiac disease are consistent with the effects of celiac disease on the small intestine
MrRa [10]

The plato answer is:

Celiac disease damages the intestinal villi. As a result, nutrients pass through the digestive tract without being broken down and absorbed properly. This indigestion will eventually cause irritation in the intestine as well as gastrointestinal discomfort.
