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 neuromuscular junction These neurotransmitters can either be cholinergic or non-chorlinergic. At the tip of the pre-synaptic membranes the vesicles empty their neurotransmitter contents into the synapse.

The neurotransmitters, diffuse through the neuromuscular junction to bind with the receptors on the post-synaptic membrane on the post-synaptic neuron. This stimulates opening of ligand gated sodium ions, and sodium ions diffuse into the post-synaptic neuronal membrane, to cause depolarization. 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.

What are the parent genotypes

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

A dominant allele is denoted by a capital letter (A versus a).Since each parent provides one allele, the possible combinations are: AA, Aa, and aa. Offspring whose genotype is either AA or Aa will have the dominant trait expressed phenotypically, while aa individuals express the recessive trait.

explains respiration including the reactants and the products, its purpose and the organelle it occurs in.

ziro4ka [17]

Respiration is the transformation of glucose to ATP, which is energy that the body can use.
Respiration consists of several steps: glycolysis, TCA/Krebs/Citric acid sycle and at last the oxidative phosphorylation.
The molecules needed for this to happen is water, oxygen (O2), NADH, ATP and glucose.

A biological theory, like the theory of evolution, that is widely accepted and supported by so many observations and experiments

Crank

A biological theory, like the theory of evolution, that is widely accepted and supported by so many observations and experiments may be referred to as a principle or a law.

This refers to statements which describes or predict a range of natural phenomena as a result of repeated experiments which has been performed and the authenticity has been prove by peers and other individuals.

A law is also referred to as principle and has been observed to be always true unlike due to the repeated scientific methods being done approving of its validity thereby making law the correct choice.
