Explain what occurs during a nerve impulse. what is saltatory conduction\

Biology
1 answer:
grigory [225]3 years ago
8 0
During a nerve impulse, <span>At the end of the axon from which the </span>impulse is coming, the membrane depolarizes, gated ion channels open, and calcium ions (Ca2+) are allowed to enter the cell. When the calcium ions rush in, a chemical called a neurotransmitter is released into the synapse. The neurotransmitter binds with receptors on the neuron. A saltatory conduction is <span>the propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons from one node of Ranvier to the next node, increasing the </span>conduction<span> velocity of action potentials.</span>

How do glycolysis, pyruvate processing, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain work together to provide energy for th
Ivahew [28]

When the cell gains glucose, the process of glycolysis occurs and then the glucose is broken down into pyruvate.  

Now, in pyruvate processing, Acetyl CoA is produced and used in the Krebs Cycle.

During that process, NADH and FADH2 are made and go into the electron transport chain. That is where water and ATP are made.

Which of the following statements correctly identifies the location of the hydrogens bonds in DNA
asambeis [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options. However, it can be answered based on general knowledge of the DNA structure.

Hydrogen bonds in a DNA are located between the nucleotides that holds the double stranded DNA molecules.

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material in living cells. The DNA molecule is made up of nucleotides monomers. However, since the DNA molecule is double-stranded, the nucleotides are of two chains composed of four nucleotide subunits viz: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C).

The two chains of nucleotides in a DNA molecule are called strands. Each strand is bonded to one another by the nucleotides using complementary base pairing i.e. A-T, G-C. The bonds between the nucleotidew of each strand is called HYDROGEN BOND.

Hence, HYDROGEN BONDS in a DNA molecule is located in between two nucleotides of each strand. That is, hydrogen bond holds Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine.

In which type of environment might water soluble rocks such as limestone or dolostone become ridge formers?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
I would say that the most likely environment for these two rock types to be ridge formers would be an arid climate like a desert where there was little water to dissolve. Also, even in a normal temperate environment, dolomite can form a very resistant ridge or cliff former as is the case with the Palliser Formation in Banff Park which forms a pronounced cliff which is very extensive.

How do scientists uncover evironmental problems
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Science has a central role in shaping what count as environmental problems. This has been evident most recently in the success of planetary science and environmental activism in stimulating awareness and discussion of global environmental problems. We advance three propositions about the special relationship between environmental science and politics: (1) in the formulation of science, not just in its application, certain courses of action are facilitated over others; (2) in global environmental discourse, moral and technocratic views of social action have been privileged; and (3) global environmental change, as science and movement ideology, is vulnerable to deconstructive pressures. These stem from different nations and differentiated social groups within nations having different interests in causing and alleviating environmental problems. We develop these propositions through a reconstruction of The Limits to Growth study of the early 1970s, make extensions to current studies of the human/social impacts of climate change, and review current sources of opposition to global and political formulations of environmental issues.
