Answer:

Sediments are defined as the particles that are derived from the weathering of rocks on the surface of the earth. These are formed in the terrestrial areas. One of the types of sediment is the biogenous sediments which are derived from the dead organic matters of plants as well as animals. These remains of plants and animals are also known as organic sediments as they are directly derived from the surface and are found as a mixture of both rock fragments as well as dead remains of flora and fauna.

In order to be a mineral, the particle must be naturally occurring with a specific chemical composition and internal atomic structure.

This is why the organic material are considered to be sediments but not as minerals.

What kind of channels are located in the input region?
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B ( ligand gated channels opened by neurotransmitter molecules).

Explanation:

Input region or postsynaptic region or dendrite is the site of neuron cell which receives the impulse from the pre-synaptic neuron at the synaptic junction.

The cell membrane of the dendrite is embedded with ligand-gated channels which opens up in response to the ligand (neurotransmitters) produced by the neurotransmitter vesicle of axon or output region of neuron.

The neuromuscular junction is such a case where acetylcholine receptors present in the dendrite opens in the presence of acetylcholine.

Thus, option B ( ligand-gated channels opened by neurotransmitter molecules) is the correct option.
