Assuming one nerve impulse must end before another can begin, what is the maximum firing rate of a nerve in impulses per second?

Biology
1 answer:
pav-90 [236]3 years ago
5 0

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.

How are seatbelts related to inertia? Write you answer in complete sentences.
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Inertia- the tendency of an object to resist a change in velocity

Explanation:

Say a car was going at 65 MPH, but suddenly stopped. For all of the people in that car, their bodies would keep moving forward at 65 MPH until stopped by an equal force (say, the thing right in front of each person) The seatbelt is there to protect you from your own inertia.

Record the stages of meiosis in eukaryotic cells realizing that there are two cell divisions involved, each having their particu
Leya [2.2K]
1.1
Meiosis I
The first meiotic division: diploid → haploid
    Prophase I: Chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves, homologous chromosomes join and occurs crossing over.
    Metaphase-I: the homologous chromosomes align in the middle of the cell. Spindle fibers from the centrosomes connect to the chromosomes.
    Anaphase -I: Spindle fibers contract and split the homologous chromosomes, moving them to opposite poles of the cell.
    Telophase -I: Chromosomes decondense; cell divides to form two haploid cells.

1.2 Meiosis II
The second division: separates sister chromatids (these chromatids may not be identical due to crossing over in prophase I)

     Prophase II: Chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves, centrosomes move to opposite poles (perpendicular to before)
    Metaphase-II:  the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell. Spindle fibers from the centrosomes connect to the chromosomes (at the centromere)
    Anaphase-II: Spindle fibers contract and split the sister chromatids, and moves them to opposite poles of the cell.
    Telophase-II: Chromosomes decondense,cells divides again to form another 2 haploid daughter cells. Final: 4 new cells.


2. The differences:
Mitosis:
- has 1 division per cycle
- one cell produces 2 new cells
- the genetic information in the mother-cell and the daughter-cells are the same. ( the number of chromosomes is also the same)
- it occurs in somatic cells
Meiosis:
- two divisions per cycle
- one cell when divides produces 4 new cells
- the new cells have different genetic information. mixes the genetic material from the parent cells
- the number of chromosomes of the daughter cells is half of the mother's.

3. Prokaryotic organisms don't divide through mitosis, they use a different process called binary fission. Only eukaryotic organisms, or those whose cells have a defined nuclei, undergo mitosis. Bacteria, for example, are prokaryotic organisms that use binary fission.

4.
 It can't occur. Cross over is the exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes.  That will result in recombinant chromosomes during sexual reproduction. It can't occur on different chromosomes because they don't code for the same genes.

5. There are a lot of different theories about that, but it's mostly believed that meiosis must evolve before sexual reproduction. That's because The cell replicates their information first and then divides. Plus the cell does that even though it didn't recombine DNA with another organism (sexual reproduction).

•Address the letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
Julli [10]

The answer is; hydrothermal, geothermal, and wind

Hydrothermal, taped from the biggest river on the state contributes approximately 60% of the energy in the state. Geothermal is second,approximately 30% while wind power contributes approximately 10%.


The costs of the electricity in the state are relatively cheap compared with states whose main source of energy is hydrocarbon fuels.   Geothermal power is the cheapest (even though initial investment is prohibitive). Hydrothermal is slightly expensive than geothermal due to the maintenance required and also  is prone to fluctuations of the river regime. Winds are also cheap but initial investment if the wind farm is high.



Hydrothermal energy has the biggest environmental impact compared to the other two. Due to the walls of the dam on the river, migration of some aquatic species is impeded. The reduced flow of water (and sediments) downstream of the dam also impact these ecosystems. Geothermal and wind energy sources have a very minimal environmental impact on the environment .


The state could increase electronics with low power consumption (such as LED lights) in the market for availability to the population. This would be followed by a sensitization campaign on the ideal use of power in the household to conserve power when not in use.

The overall population of a species has increased. What could have occurred to allow this to happen?
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The correct answer is - The immigration of the population is greater than the emigration.

Explanation:

The growth of the overall population depends on the birth rate, immigration, emigration and death rate. The growth of the population can be calculated by subtracting the number of individuals removed or exited the population from the number of individual come into the population.

Among the given options the best choice is the number of immigration is higher than the number of individual emigrated from the population that means the population growth is increased.
