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

Biology

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.

The expected result would be that the plates will move if only a few inches or up to several miles but still, movement is expected either way

if the plates did not move that would be a good thing because no plate movement and there would be no chance of random mountains, valleys, or earthquakes as the plates move every which way

What does the process of diffusion do for the cell
dybincka [34]

Diffusion is important to the cell because it is the process by which useful molecules enter the cell and waste products removed from the cell.

Without diffusion, cells and tissues of the body can not get important nutrients and gases for survival and would die.

An example is the eye. The eyes lack a great  number of blood vessels (which carry oxygen that diffuses into cells) and must have an extra supply of oxygen. The atmosphere provides the extra needed oxygen which is taken up into the cells of the eye by diffusing through the cornea and thus the eye is kept functioning. If this does not happen , the eye would dry out.
