A neuron transmits information by the secretion of hormones. True or False
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

A neuron is the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system. It helps in transmitting information from one neuron to another neuron, gland, or muscle cell.

The conduction of nerve impulse is electrochemical in nature. It transmits the impulse electrically through the axon the nerve cells and chemically through synapses (gap between two nerves cells).

The axon terminals of pre-synaptic nerve cell release chemical messengers (also called neurotransmitters) in the synaptic cleft. These messengers then bind to the receptors present on the post-synaptic nerve cell and regenerate the nerve impulse.

In this assignment, you will use simulations to analyze how climate, resources, and habitat size affect
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Larger habitats support populations with higher carrying capacities. Higher quality habitats support populations with higher carrying capacities. There is no difference in population growth rate between large and small habitats. Some major threats to biodiversity are: Habitat destruction/Deforestation, Introduced and invasive species, Genetic pollution, Over exploitation, Hybridization, Climate change, Diseases, Human overpopulation. If abiotic or biotic factors change, the carrying capacity changes as well. Natural disasters can destroy resources in an ecosystem. If resources are destroyed, the ecosystem will not be able to support a large population. This causes the carrying capacity to decrease.  

Carrying capacity could be reduced if each individual within the species consumed less from the environment. Think about humans: if every human needs a four car garage and a large house, the planet can sustain fewer humans than if each human lived in a studio apartment and traveled using a bicycle. It would take 1.75 Earths to sustain our current population. If current trends continue, we will reach 3 Earths by the year 2050. It is beyond dispute that the modern industrial world has been able to temporarily expand Earth's carrying capacity for our species. As Nordhaus points out, population has grown dramatically (from less than a billion in 1800 to 7.6 billion today), and so has per capita consumption. Historically, habitat and land use change have had the biggest impact on biodiversity in all ecosystems, but climate change and pollution are projected to increasingly affect all aspects of biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture practices support integrating biodiversity in various ways including in terms of diversity of crops, traditional agriculture techniques to control pests and increase productivity as well as ensuring that farmed land is made up of a diverse mix of grazing land, crop land, orchards, wetlands and more.

Hope this helps :)

In what way is sedimentary rock formation in nature like a sieve?
Anna11 [10]
<span>B. Rocks go through many stages during their formation</span><span>

Sedimentary rocks together with the igneous rocks and the metamorphic rocks are the three main types of rocks that existed on earth. It is formed or made accordingly into four major ways. First, it is formed by depositing weathered remains of "clastic sedimentary rocks" or other rocks. Second, is through accumulation and the consolidation of sediments, thirdly is by depositing the results of biogenic activity and lastly it is formed through precipitation from solution. Limestone, shale, chalk clay and others are best examples of sedimentary rocks. </span>
