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]4 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.

How does the movement of particles of matter change when temperature increases?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

The movement of particles of the matter increases with the increase in temperature.

The particles gain kinetic energy with increasing temperature and move in faster rate.

<u>For example:</u> When we blow a balloon with our mouth, we increases the temperature inside the balloon, the particles in the balloon gain kinetic energy that leads to the faster movement of gas particles in the balloon and they collide with each other and surface of balloon, after a peak the balloon get burst because of high kinetic energy and high collision.

Hence, the correct answer is "increases".

fiasKO [112]

<u>Answer</u>: option B they have a random gene mutation that affects their fur colour.

<u>Explanation</u> :-

  • <em>Variation</em> is the phenomena which occurs in all populations.
  • These variations result in slight differences in the phenotypes of individuals .
  • These variations only arise due to <em>random mutations </em>that arise in the individuals’ genome and then can be inherited by their offspring.
  • There is always a probability of one particular trait to make the individuals survive better in the environment as compared to other trait.
  • The individuals having the trait that helps them to survive better in the environment tend to survive more and leave more progeny. This is termed as <em>survival of the fittest</em>.
  • Thus, according to the question it can be inferred that the dark fur colour arose due to a <em>random mutation </em>since it is the only source of variation. Since, in the given environmental conditions the mice having the dark fur colour were less susceptible to the predators they are better fitted to survive.
  • The dark brown fur coat mice, survive better, leave more progeny and hence, increase their population with time. However, the orginal source of origin of this trait was a random mutation. Had this mutation not occured, the dark coloured fur mice would not have been there.

So, a <em>random gene mutation affecting the fur colour made the dark coloured mice first appear in the population.</em>

a researcher wishes to know whether there is a significant difference in the number of knee injuries reported among four sports.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Chi-square analysis cannot be used to check for significant difference in the number of knee injuries among four sports.

Explanation:

The chi-square analysis is a statistical procedure that is used to test association between measured variables or goodness of fits of a set of measured variables to expected outcomes.

<em>In the case of testing for significant difference, chi-square analysis cannot be used as testing for significant difference in two or more means requires using t-test, analysis of variance, or any other relevant statistical procedure.</em>

To compare number of knee injuries reported among four sports for significant difference, the most suitable statistical procedure would be analysis of variance.
