"in a chemical synapse, neurotransmitters are spilled into the synaptic cleft by what action?"
34kurt
Starting from the triggering action potential, the membrane potential in the neuron will propagate from the dendrites to the cell body then to the axons where synaptic vesicles are located. The action potential will trigger an influx of calcium into the axon then calcium will bind to proteins that will move the synaptic vesicles to the synaptic cleft. The membrane of the synaptic vesicles will eventually join the membrane of the synapse and then the neurotransmitters inside the vesicles will be "spilled" into the synaptic cleft.

Given: The population density of frogs in a portion of a pond is 12 frogs per square meter. The size of the entire pond is 370 square meters.

To find: The total population size of the frogs in the pond.

Method: Using unitary method of proportions

Let p be the density of the frogs present per square meter.

Let A denote the total area of the pond.

∴ p = 12 frogs/m² and A = 370 m²

The total number of frogs in the pond is given by,

p \times A = 12 \times 370 = 4440

Therefore, there are 4440 frogs in the pond.
