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.

lapo4ka [179]

Animalia is the label that appears to differentiate animals from organisms on other kingdom.

Explanation:

Scientists uses the process called taxonomy to classify the organisms based on their structure, functions and relationship to other organisms.

Eukaryotes represents the domain of life. Domain Eukarya are classified into four kingdoms they are protista, fungi, plantae and animalia.

The kingdom protista represents the organisms that are simple structured and they swim through the water and obtain nutrients from the environment.

In the kingdom fungi like mushrooms absorb nutrients from the environment and they are heterotrophs.

In the plantae kingdom the organisms are plants and they are autotrophs. They prepare their own food.

In Animalia kingdom the organisms are animals and they are multicellular heterotrophs. They do not have cell walls and the reproduction is done sexually and some can reproduce asexual.

Which of the following terms describes the movement of water from the surface to the atmosphere?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The answer is evaporation.

Explanation:

Runoff is not right because runoff is water that hits the surface of the earth, then runs down into natural bodies of water. It is not condensation either. That is because condensation is when cool water vapor comes into contact with humid, warm air causes water droplets to appear on the surface of what is containing the cool water vapor. Finally, precipitation is when water comes down from the atmosphere to the surface of the earth, therefore this is incorrect. Evaporation however is when water from the surface of the earth turns into water vapor and goes into the atmosphere. Therefore it is the right answer.
