Answer:

Photosynthesis-The Sun is the ultimate source of all energy in the universe. Plants being the main primary producers or autotrophs, use solar energy to make their own food through photosynthesis, thus converting energy into organic matter that can be consumed by all organisms. They form the basis of almost all food chains from where consumers derive their food.

Photosynthesis is the process by which the plants make their food with the help of sunlight. This food helps the plant to live and grow. The by-products created by photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen. The glucose is used by the plants for growth and oxygen is released in the air.

The one component in photosynthesis that can't be recycled but must be constantly available is energy.

Light energy, mostly from sunlight, is the main requirement for photosynthesis to occur. 

Photosynthesis is a process wherein light energy is converted into chemical energy.

What is oxygen and how would you describe it ?

jasenka [17]

Answer:

Oxygen is a colourless, odourless, tasteless gas essential to living organisms, being taken up by animals, which convert it to carbon dioxide; plants, in turn, utilize carbon dioxide as a source of carbon and return the oxygen to the atmosphere.

An action potential causes the release of neurotransmitters by:________.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

b) opening calcium pores in the membrane

Explanation:

The opening of calcium ions channels facilitates the migration of vesicles containing neurotransmitters in the pre-synaptic neurons to the tip of the post-synaptic membrane. at the neuromuscular junction These neurotransmitters can either be cholinergic or non-chorlinergic. At the tip of the pre-synaptic membranes the vesicles empty their neurotransmitter contents into the synapse.

The neurotransmitters, diffuse through the neuromuscular junction to bind with the receptors on the post-synaptic membrane on the post-synaptic neuron. This stimulates opening of ligand gated sodium ions, and sodium ions diffuse into the post-synaptic neuronal membrane, to cause depolarization. if the stimulus is up to the threshold levels it generate action potential.

Therefore , more calcium ions channels opening produces; more diffusion of neurotransmitters;leading to opening of more sodium channels for depolarization; and IPSP or EPSP generation.
