The rate of firing of the postsynaptic neuron depends on the amount of ______ input it receives from the presynaptic neuron.

Biology
1 answer:
AysviL [449]3 years ago
6 0

The postsynaptic potential is the membrane potential, which takes place in the neuron present post synapsis (after the chemical synapse). The presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitter, which causes the firing in the postsynaptic neurons.  

The firing of the post synaptic neuron depends on the excitation and inhibition inputs received from the presynaptic neuron. The firing is the resultant of the summation of excitatory and inhibitory potential. In case, the excitatory potential is greater than inhibitory potential, the post synaptic neuron would be excited. in case, inhibitory potential is greater than excitatory potential, then the post synaptic neuron would be inhibited.  


Hence, the correct answer is option d.

When a phosphate group is released ATP becomes
Marat540 [252]
This occurs when a molecule of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) uses the energy released during cellular respiration to bond with a thirdphosphate group, becoming amolecule of ATP. So the energy from cellular respiration is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rdphosphate group

Explanation:

A sloping line on a speed-time graph represents an acceleration.

To calculate acceleration from a speed-time graph, you divide the change in velocity by the time taken for the change.

When not enough oxygen is available to cells during rigorous exercise, muscle cells must convert pyruvate to __________ to gener
Kipish [7]

The correct answer is: A) lactic acid.

During the exercise, muscle cells use anaerobic respiration in order to make enough energy in the form of ATP. Anaerobic respiration doesn’t require oxygen, but glucose is broken down to produce energy. Glucose is broken down to pyruvate in the process called glycolysis. Next step is convert of pyruvate into lactic acid (or lactate).

During the exercise, the oxygen level in muscle cells decreases, which results in anaerobic respiration of the cells.
