Answer:

b) opening calcium pores in the membrane

Explanation:

The opening of calcium  ions channels facilitates the migration of vesicles containing neurotransmitters in the pre-synaptic neurons  to the tip of the post-synaptic membrane. at the <u>neuromuscular  junction </u>These neurotransmitters can either be <u>cholinergic or non-chorlinergic.</u>   <u>At the tip  of the pre-synaptic membranes the vesicles empty their neurotransmitter contents into the synapse.</u>

The neurotransmitters,  diffuse through the neuromuscular junction to bind  with the receptors on the <u>post-synaptic membrane on the post-synaptic neuron.</u> This  stimulates opening of<u> ligand gated sodium ions,</u> and sodium ions  diffuse into the post-synaptic neuronal membrane, to cause <u>depolarization</u>. if the stimulus is  up to the threshold levels   it  generate action potential.

Therefore , more calcium ions channels opening produces; more diffusion of neurotransmitters;leading to opening of more sodium channels for depolarization; and IPSP or EPSP  generation.

Essay Frankenstein predictions
atroni [7]

Answer:

The monster in Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein lurches into life as big as a man but as ignorant as a newborn. He can’t read, speak, or understand the rudiments of human interaction. When he stumbles upon the cottagers, however, he picks up language by observing them and studying their speech. It is this acquisition of language, along with the eloquence it brings, that turns the monster from a mysterious nightmare into a sympathetic and tragic figure. By showing how language transforms the monster, and by contrasting the well-spoken monster with his equally articulate creator, Shelley argues that verbal communication—rather than action or appearance—is the only way through which people can truly understand one another.

An unlearned behavior directly linked to a stimulus that is carried to completion once initiated and is essentially unchangeable
erastova [34]

A fixed action pattern is a behavior that is carried out to completion once started, regardless of changes in the original stimulus and the sequence is unchangeable. The unlearned behavior of fixed action patterns are triggered by a type of external stimulus that start off a particular organism.

ohaa [14]

Answer: Option E.

The cytosolic face of the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

Endoplasmic recticulum is a membranous organelles in cytoplasm that help in synthesis,transport and modifications of proteins. Proteins are transported to golgi apparatus while some remain in endoplasmic reticulum. Proteins are transported from ribosomes on rough endoplasmic recticulum to rough endoplasmic recticulum lumen which is the site of protein modifications, then to golgi aparathus.
