Answer: C
Explanation: Subduction is a geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate moves under another and is forced to sink due to high gravitational potential energy into the mantle. Regions where this process occurs are known as subduction zones.
Answer:
Y is probably excitatory and Z is probably inhibitory
Explanation:
- Two neurons communicate with each other generally by releasing neurotransmitters.
- The neuron which releases the neurotransmitter is termed as presynaptic neuron and the neuron to which the neurotransmitter binds to exert its effects is called as postsynaptic neuron.
- Based on the nature of the neurotransmitter released, the presynaptic neurons can either be inhibitory or excitatory in nature.
- The change in the membrane potential of the postsynaptic neurons depends on the total sum of inputs coming from different pre synaptic neurons at a given time.
- From the given situation, the stimulation by X alone is causing deploarization of 0.5 mV which shows that it is causing excitation, and since depolarization is increasing when X and Y are stimulaneously stimulated Y is also excitatory in nature. However the depolarisation is not occurring when X and Z are stimualted together and hence, Z is probably inhibitory in nature.
