Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "The receptor potential is carried by neuroglia".

Explanation:

Neuroglia is a term used to describe a class of cells which main function is to support the neurons. The term neuroglia include astrocytes, ependymal cells and oligodendrocyte. It is false to affirm that the receptor potential is carried by neuroglia, the receptor potential is carried out by the neurons.

Answer:

b.The receptor potential is carried by neuroglia.

When   receptor cells   responded to a stimulus of touch, pressure,lights, (which is up to the threshold levels)  they produce an action potential.Such potential generated by the cell is called Receptor potential.

They are transducers cells  which  converts different forms of stimulus to electrical signals in the neurons.

The reversal of charges  due to stimuli of touch, smell, light or chemical substances cause depolarization  and   generates action potential. If this is up to the threshold levels, action potential is propagated along the sensory neuron to the  cerebral cortex of the brain.

Neuroiglia   are cells of the CNS and PNS. that provide<u> support</u> and<u> protection to </u> the neurons. They do not transmit electrical signals as action potential. The transmission of action potential is done by the sensory neurons.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

He should look out for tiny leaf-like structures which mosses possess but algae does not .

Explanation:

In general, moss looks fibrous, feathered or latticed when viewed up close. Carpets of moss are springy to the touch. When germinating, moss puts up thin stems sometimes with leaves on top and reproductive spores. Algae have no threadlike structures or leaves. Instead, algae spread as a clump of living cells. Because algae usually grow in wet environments, they look like a slimy, wet mass, often green in color. Both moss and algae may appear green or brown depending on species and the dryness of the conditions.

You have found a new prokaryote. What line of evidence would support your hypothesis that the organism is a cyanobacterium? You
ella [17]

Answer:

It is able to produce oxygen

Explanation:

The line of evidence that would support my claim is that the observed prokaryotes can produce oxygen. The cyanobacteria or the blue green algae are the only know prokaryotes that utilises photosynthesis which leads to the release of oxygen. Since it has already been established the discovered organisms is a prokaryote, it can then be confirmed that since this organism can produce oxygen, it is a cyanobacteria and that it also has features peculiar to the cyanobacteria
