Gunther is becoming frustrated with the television in his hotel room. He wants to scan through the channels very rapidly, but ea

ch time he switches the channel he has to wait a full two seconds before he can change it again. During that brief delay, it is impossible to change the channel. This is similar to how the __________ works in neural communication.
a) regenerative timeout
b) potential gradation
c) absolute refractory period
d) relative refractory period

Answer: c) Absolute refractory theory

Explanation:

Absolute refractory theory defines about time of action potential where any other action potential cannot get initiated through stimulus  towards neuron irrespective of strength and size .

According to the question, absolute refractory period is being described through wait that occurs between switching of channel.This wait cannot be overcomed even though channel is switched forcefully or rapidly for change because it is acting as action potential.

Other options are incorrect because potential gradation, relative refactor period and regenerative timeout does display action potential during certain time period where other stimulus cannot invoke another action potential irrespective of its strength.

Thus, the correct option is option(c).

After 4th collision in ethernet, find the maximum time that the adapter waits until sensing the channel again for a 100 mbps bro
kirill [66]

Waiting time for a 100 Mbps broadcast channel is 0.512 ms

Recall that with the CSMA/CD protocol, the adapter waits K * 512 bit times after a collision,

where K is drawn randomly. For K = 100,

The one bit time for 10 Mbps is 1/10000000 s = 0.0001 ms

The one bit time for 100 Mbps is 1/100000000 s = 0.00001 ms

Waiting time for a 10 Mbps broadcast channel is K*512*0.0001= 5.12 ms

Waiting time for a 100 Mbps broadcast channel is K*512*0.00001= 0.512 ms

<h3>What is a collision in Ethernet?</h3>

A collision happens on a half-duplex Ethernet network when two devices on the same network attempt to communicate data at the exact same time. The two transmitted packets are "collapsed" by the network, which results in the network discarding both of them. On Ethernets, collisions are unavoidable.

<h3>How collision is avoided in Ethernet?</h3>

A collision is a momentary interaction between two bodies or more than two bodies at once that modifies the motion of the bodies involved as a result of the internal forces at work. Collisions entail the application of force (there is a change in velocity).

The club drug Ecstasy increases the release of serotonin into the synapse. By contrast, the antianxiety drug and sleep aid Trazo
Andrews [41]

Answer:

agonist; antagonist                  

Explanation:

An agonist is a chemical or a substance which initiates a psychological response when it binds with the receptor. It combines with a cell receptor to produce certain reaction which is typical for that substance.

An antagonist is any substance that interferes with response.

Agonist and antagonist functions opposite to each other. An agonist is used to produce an action whereas an antagonist is used to oppose any action.

In the context, the use of Ecstasy increases serotonin in the synapse whereas the use of Trazodone opposes the effect of serotonin. Here Ecstasy works as a serotonin agonist while Trazodone is a serotonin anagonist.
