a. Both EPSPs occurring in rapid succession
b. The summed EPSPs depolarizing the axon hillock membrane to —70 mV
c. Both EPSPs occurring before the postsynaptic membrane potential returns to —55 mV

Answer:

Both potentials occurring after the postsynaptic membrane potential returns to its resting value

Explanation:

This is simply because, a neuron returning to its resting state,will have the ligand gated Na+ channels closed.Therefore depolarization can not occur.More K+ gated channels will open, and more K+ leaks out of the axoplasm,returning the neuron to the resting state.

Hence if  the summation of the two EPSP returns to the resting level after crossing the synapse, they can not propagate,and generate action potential, because they will produce  a sub threshold effects,which  will not generate action potential.

Identify the correct order of events that allow nutrients from foods to be used by the body. Group of answer choices digestion,
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is- digestion, absorption, transport, elimination

Explanation:

The process of digestion starts from the mouth with the help of enzymes called salivary amylase present in our saliva. The food then passes through the esophagus to the stomach.  

In the stomach, the food is broken down in small fragments by churning movement which mixes digestive enzymes and food to form chyme.  

This chyme is passed to the small intestine where several enzymes from the liver and pancreas digest the food in smaller particles and absorb these particles in the blood. Therefore absorption takes place in the small intestine.

Then the solid waste material left behind after absorption is transported from small intestine to the large intestine and from large intestine waste is eliminated out of the body.

Therefore the correct order are: digestion → absorption→ transport→ elimination.

konstantin123 [22]

Your answer would be C because A affects the natural environment and can cause harm to it, B would affect the surrounding animal population and cause imbalances in biodiversity if they are not able to eat the foods they are used to, and D is not much of a benefit since you are losing the flavor that is naturally in the plants.
