3.The reduced potential causes hundreds of a)________________________ channels to open on that part of the cell membrane. The de
wlad13 [49]

The reduced potential causes hundreds of <u>voltage-gated sodium</u> channels  to open on that part of the cell membrane. The depolarization of the cell causes more of <u>voltage-gated sodium </u>channels to open in adjacent parts of the cell membrane. This begins the wave of of <u>depolarization</u>  moving down the axon. Depolarization begins at the <u>axon hillock.</u>

Explanation:

When there is no neuron signaling it becomes polarized, termed as resting membrane potential (RMP) at a threshold voltage (around -55 mV), due to the action of the sodium-potassium pump and the potassium leak channels.  

When a change in the RMP occurs, depolarization takes place which causes the voltage-gated sodium channels to open and sodium ions rush into the nerve cell which in turn will increase the voltage threshold to nearly around +40 mV and also charges the neuron positive. This depolarization moves down the axon. This increase in threshold stops the sodium influx and opens the potassium channels to rush the potassium out of the cell.

All these actions decrease the membrane potential leading to a wave of depolarization and going back to resting state. Depolarization begins depending upon the potential gradient at the axon hillock.

When scientists have made many observations and collected existing data, they suggest a possible explanation for what they have
o-na [289]

Answer:

Hypothesis, controlled conditions, "if then" statement, scientific investigation, observation.

Explanation:

Hypothesis: An idea proposed for an argument to be tested if it's true.

Controlled Conditions: An experiment that doesn't manipulate the independent variable.

If then statements: These sentences present situations and their outcomes.

Scientific Investigation: A plan for asking questions and testing possible answers.

Observation: Using one of the senses (hearing, seeing, tasting, smell, touching) or measurements to gather data.

The response of an effector is:
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

to transmit an output in response to the total afferent input

Explanation:

An effector refers to parts of the body generates response. An effector responds to transmit an output in response to the total afferent input  Stimulus in the body are detected by the receptor which send signals to the central nervous system via sensory neuron where interpretation and a response is coordinated by the brain. The response is sent to the effector through the motor neuron.

Answer No 1:

Process 1 is cellular respiration. Cellular respiration can be described as a process in which glucose and oxygen are converted into water and carbon dioxide. ATP is released by this process which is used as an energy source.

Process 2 is anaerobic respiration. It is a process which occurs in the absence  of oxygen. This process will also yield ATP.

Answer No 2:

The process 1, cellular respiration, is known to produce 38 molecules of ATP. Out of these, 2 molecules are the result from the process of glycolysis, 2 molecules arise from Kreb's cycle, rest 34 are known to occur from the electron transport chain.

The process of anaerobic respiration is known to make 2 molecules of ATP in total.
