Answer:

receptor down-regulation

Explanation:

Downregulation is a control mechanism by which a cell decreases the amount of a cellular component, such as RNA or protein, in response to an external variable. In contrast, a reactive increase of a cellular component is called upregulation. An example of downregulation occurs when insulin binds to its receptor and the complex is endocyted in the cell in response to hormonal signaling.

Assuming one nerve impulse must end before another can begin, what is the maximum firing rate of a nerve in impulses per second?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 10³ seconds.

Explanation:

The nerve impulse is an electrical signal in which fluctuation in membrane potential occurs and forms an electrical signal that takes place that travels along the axon to the synapses.

Suppose a nerve impulse starts only when the first impulse ends according to the question so the one impulse last for the 10⁻³ second or 1 ms.  

Thus,  the nerve impulse fires per second will be equal to impulse generate in each second which is 1/10⁻³ = 10³.

Thus, the correct answer is - 10³ impulse per second or 1000 impulse per second.

Why does an octopus or squid use its tentacles?
spin [16.1K]
Octopus and squid have little suction cups on their tentacles. It helps with sticking onto food (so it doesn't get away) and also helps with sticking into things. If it wanted to camouflage into some rocks, it can use its tentacles to cling to to the rock.

Tentacles can also grab and carry things. Scientists have made tests where they would put a clam in a jar with the lid screwed on. The octopus would grab onto the jar and use its tentacles to twist the lid off.

Without tentacles, octopuses and squids would be pretty helpless and probably couldn't survive in the deep ocean.
