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.

Plant cells, unlike animal cells, are characterized by the presence of a ________.
expeople1 [14]

B. Cell wall and a central vacuole

The cell wall is a rigid structure that surrounds the cells and allows plants to stay upright.  Animal cells are more fluid.

The central vacuole is a large region in the cell that stores nutrients and fluids.  Many cells, including animal cells, contain vacuoles, but most are small, and only plant cells contain large central vacuoles.

Hope this helps!!

How do scientists theorize that cyanobacteria affect the development of endosymbiosis?
timama [110]
Cyanobacteria are primitive organisms where chloroplasts are believed to be originated. Now, with the theory of endosymbiosis, this suggests that these organelle from cyanobacteria was engulfed by other organisms which has helped them process light with the help of chloroplasts.

<span>A cataract is simply the clouding on the lens of the eye that makes it a little more difficult to see, causing some distortion as if looking though a fogged window. Some of these are congenital but generally they are age related due to the lens hardening an thickening as well as a side effect of diabetes. It is likely caused by inadequate delivery of nutrients to the deep lens fibers. Smoking and frequent exposure to intense sunlight increase ones risk for cataracts, but long term vitamin c supplements can help decrease the risk. In order to treat this condition, the lens can be removed and then replaced with an artificial lens.</span>
