In neuroscience, depolarization is an "all or nothing" response; what does that

Biology
1 answer:
Tom [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - The neuron's intracellular charge must get more positive to meet a certain  thresh hold in order to depolarize. If the neuron does not hit that threshold, then the  neuron will not fire

Explanation:

In neuroscience, the depolarization of neurons shows the all or none law which is also called as all or nothing response. It states that all action potentials have the same size and the potential or strength of a nerve cell does not depend on the stimulus strength as all are the same size.

If a stimulus reaches a particular threshold cell or fiber will fire so either it will fire or not cross the threshold this is all or nothing response or law and depolarization is an example of it.

When an object slides down a ramp with friction, the kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp is not equal to the potential ener
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Explanation:

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Thus, in relation to the question, as the object slides down the ramp, the kinetic energy should increase at the same rate the potential energy is reducing in such a way that the kinetic energy of the object at the bottom of the ramp should be equal to the potential energy of the object at the top of the ramp (since the energy was been "transferred" as the object moved). However, this situation only occurs, as explained, in the absence of friction. <u>In the presence of friction, some of the energy is used to overcome friction as the object moves down the ramp and as such there is an energy loss due to friction in the process which makes the kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp not equal to the potential energy at the top. This also does not violate the law of conservation of energy since no energy was destroyed in the process (as all the energy involved can be accounted for)</u>.

Which of the following is NOT true about essential body fat?A.The human body would not function normally without essential body
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

C.The percentage of essential body fat is the same for both males and females.

Explanation:

Among the given statements, only C is incorrect. Typically, on average, women have 5-12% more body fat than men. This has been mainly linked with the female hormones (e.g. oestrogen). Firstly, women can store more fat in their bodies due to the presence of excessive adipose tissues. Secondly, they are suppose to carry a child at some stage of their life, so a better food supply and protection is necessary.

On the other hand, rest of the options are true. Essential body fat is always required by body. It accounts for 3% of total body wight. And, it can be found in organs, bones and muscles at different percentages.
