When a sensory neuron is excited by some form of energy, the resulting graded potential is called a(n) ________.

Biology

Answer:

B) generator potential

Explanation:

The short-lived and localized changes in membrane potential are called graded potentials. A sensory receptor senses the stimulus. As the stimulus is sensed by the associated sensory neuron, there is the production of a graded potential. When the receptor of a sensory neuron is excited by some form of energy such as heat, light, etc., the resulting graded potential is called a generator potential. It is also called a receptor potential.

If the receptor potential is large enough to reach the threshold, it triggers one or more nerve impulses in the axon of the sensory neuron. For instance, thermosensory receptors sense the change in the temperature conditions and the associated sensory neurons generate the graded potential. Since the graded potential is generated due to temperature (heat), it is a generator potential.

Can somebody please label the parts of the frog?
zvonat [6]

Answer: As in other higher vertebrates, the frog body may be divided into a head, a short neck, and a trunk (see Vertebrates). The flat head contains the brain, mouth, eyes, ears, and nose. A short, almost rigid neck permits only limited head movement. The stubby trunk forms walls for a single body cavity, the coelom.

Which genetic change causes alterations in only one or a few nucleotide bases?
AlexFokin [52]

The genetic change causes alterations in only one or a few nucleotide bases in known as mutation.

A mutation is a change in a brief section of a genome's nucleotide sequence. Another frequently replaces one nucleotide in point mutations; other changes involve the insertion or deletion of one or more nucleotides.

Errors in DNA replication or the harmful effects of mutagens, such as chemicals and radiation, which react with DNA and alter the architecture of individual nucleotides, are the leading causes of mutations.

DNA repair enzymes are present in all cells and work to reduce the frequency of mutations. These enzymes reduce genetic information loss, double-strand break formation, and DNA crosslinking by repairing DNA damage.
