The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process.
<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>
<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>
Answer:
R (capital letter) is the dominant allele so the phenotype is the same
Explanation:
Carbon and nitrogen and an important element of living things. Nitrogen is a major component of DNA and amino acids while carbon can be found in almost all biomolecules. These elements, therefore, need to be renewed and recycled as they are utilized by ecosystems that is ever dynamic.
False. I don't know how to explain it but they don't classify as living.
The first thing that the farmer should do is formulate a hypothesis in which he will make intelligent guesses on what is happening or develop a theory of which would explain what is happening. It is the first step in scientific investigation in order to formulate questions of why weeds that are sprayed does not die. After this, it is only then the farmer should experiment and after that, he should finalize his findings as it is its conclusion to the problem.
