Rainfall is measured as depth on the surface of the Earth, typically in mm. We know the volume of water in the rain gauge: 1414 cubic centimetres. We know need to know the area of the Earth that this volume fell on. This would be the area of the funnel opening that points up to the sky to catch the rain. We know the diameter is 24 cm. So we need to determine the area of a circle with a diameter of 24 cm. The equation to use is: area = pi * radius^2. Since the radius of a circle is half the diameter, the equation is:

So area is <span>3.14159 * 12^2

= 452.39 cm^2
Volume = depth * area
depth = volume/area
depth = </span>1414/452.39
= 3.13 cm = 31.3 mm

Lynna [10]
The options for this question are:
A. Sensory cells and sensory neurons have electrically excitable membranes that change in charge potential in response to binding an environmental signaling molecule.
B. All sensory cells and sensory neurons fire action potentials when they bind a signaling molecule.
C. Sensory cells and sensory neurons have protein receptors linked to intracellular or membrane-based signaling pathways that alter ion channel permeability.
 The best answer choices are: A & C
Sensory cells and sensory neurons have electrically excitable membranes that change in charge potential in response to binding an environmental signaling molecule.
Sensory cells and sensory neurons have protein receptors linked to intracellular or membrane-based signaling pathways that alter ion channel permeability.

Explanation:
Sensory neurons are nerve cells within the nervous system responsible for converting external stimuli from the organism's environment into internal electrical impulses.
For example, some sensory neurons respond to tactile stimuli and can activate motor neurons in order to achieve muscle contraction. Sensory receptors located in the dermis or epidermises of the skin are called cutaneous receptors. These include nociceptors and thermoreceptors. <span>
