Biology

Answer:

The correct answer is - 10³ seconds.

Explanation:

The nerve impulse is an electrical signal in which fluctuation in membrane potential occurs and forms an electrical signal that takes place that travels along the axon to the synapses.

Suppose a nerve impulse starts only when the first impulse ends according to the question so the one impulse last for the 10⁻³ second or 1 ms.  

Thus,  the nerve impulse fires per second will be equal to impulse generate in each second which is 1/10⁻³ = 10³.

Thus, the correct answer is - 10³ impulse per second or 1000 impulse per second.

tigry1 [53]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Protozoans are not the organism that fix nitrogen for the plants. The organism that fix nitrogen to convert it into a form which can be used by plants are known as diazotrophs.

These are bacteria and archae that fix nitrogen gas found in the atmosphere into more usable form such as ammonia.

These organism can grow without any external source of fixed nitrogen. Example: Rhizobia and azospirillium.
