The lands which are lef unuse after it is affected by environmental contamination.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Brownfields are abandoned or unused fields where reuse is hindered by real or observed environmental contamination. The places may include localities destroyed by hazardous materials, petroleum or mine-scarred land.
- Brownfields are found in a city or town's manufacturing section, on areas with discontinued factories or industrial buildings, or other earlier contaminating operations like steel millhouses, refineries or landfills. It is mainly found in urban cities where there is normally a stronger potential to redevelop these localities.
- Some of the most frequent contaminants known at Brownfield sites are from fuels such as grease, propellant, diesel and kerosene from subterrene storage tanks, floor drains, External storage of barrels and machine, and cleaning solvents.
Answer: sporophyte, gametophyte, alternation of generation
Explanation:
Alternation of generation is a kind of life cycle seen in plants and algae in which the diploid asexual and haploid sexual stages exist. A sporophyte is multicellular and diploid which is an asexual stage. It produces the haploid spores through meiosis. The haploid spores germinate to produce haploid gametophyte. The gametophyte produces gametes by the process of mitosis.
Type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
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>
