The synapse is the junction present between two neurons.

In a synapse, the electric impulses are transferred in the form of chemical molecule, which is also known as neurotransmitter. The synapse receives the signals from the sender neuron also known as presynaptic neuron to the receiver neuron, also called as postsynaptic neuron.

Hence, the correct answer is option c. junction between a sending neuron and a receiving neuron.

Answer;

C.junction between a sending neuron and a receiving neuron.

Explanation;

-Information or impulses from one neuron flows to another neuron across a synapse. The synapse contains a small gap separating neurons.The synapse consists of: a presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters, mitochondria and other cell organelles.

-The function of the synapse is to transfer electric activity (information) from one cell to another. The transfer can be from nerve to nerve (neuron-neuron), or nerve to muscle (neuro-myo).

sodium (NA) and water (H2O undergo a chemical reaction that produces sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). Which equati

natita [175]

Answer:

There are no options in this question, however, the equation can be provided. The answer is:

2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2

Explanation:

This question is deacribing the equation between sodium (Na) and water (H2O) to produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The equation originally is as follows:

Na + H2O --> NaOH + H2

From the above equation, one would notice that it is not balanced because the number of atoms of each element is not the same on both sides of the equation. Hence, to balance the equation, a coefficient is used to make sure the same number of atoms of each element are on both sides.

We have;

2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2

Which of the following experiments would be considered unethical?

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

C. Taking blood samples from patients for research purposes

without consent

Explanation:

Generally, providers may not render medical services without the patient’s consent, unless performance of emergency, lifesaving care is necessary. Taking samples from a patient is a type of medical service; thus, state consent laws apply. In addition, providers may not disclose PHI without patient authorization.

It depends on the definition of unethical being used, however I think I am right. I'm in AP bio currently. Let me know what the answer is :)
