Answer:

The binding of a neurotransmitter on a postsynaptic cell allows potassium ions to diffuse out of the cell. This would result in a NEGATIVE CELL MEMBRANE POTENTIAL which is an HYPERPOLARIZATION event.

Explanation:

The binding of a neurotransmitter to a postsynaptic cell results in a group of channels in the cell membrane called ligand gated channels open or close in response to that binding.

Hyperpolarization occurs when a ligand gated channel opens and allows potassium ion to flow out of the cell.

During hyperpolarization, potential of the cell membrane experience changes which makes it to become more negative.

Answer:

1) To form a multicellular organism, a zygote must divide into 16 cells which produces ball structure called a morula. After that, morula is converted into a structure called blastula.

2) Adult stem cells are responsible for the maintenance of tissues and repair the damage tissues in the body. It is also called somatic stem tissue. It increase in number through cell division.

At which stage shown below does the frog use both skin and lungs for gas exchange
a_sh-v [17]

Frogs, like salamanders, newts and toads, are amphibians. Most amphibians begin their life cycles as water-dwelling animals, complete with gills for breathing underwater. As they grow to adulthood, amphibians normally become land-dwelling creatures, lose their gills and develop lungs for breathing. Frogs are no exception to this process and are able to breathe through their lungs once they reach adulthood.

Larval Stage

Frogs still in the larval stage, called tadpoles, are very different in outward appearance and internal physiology from their adult counterparts. Most notable is the presence of gills instead of lungs during this stage. Tadpoles can also take in oxygen through their skin, a trait that aids in gas exchange (bringing in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide, as with lung respiration) while the tadpole is living completely underwater.

Maturation

As a frog matures from tadpole to adult, it loses its gills and develops functioning lungs. During this transition, and after maturity, frogs are still able to breathe through their skin. This trait is known as “bimodal breathing,” in which an animal uses two different systems for bringing in oxygen. These two different breathing systems allow adult frogs to shift between aquatic habitats (which require skin respiration) and land habitats (which are more suited to lung respiration) with ease.

Skin Respiration

An adult frog’s thin and permeable skin allows it to take in oxygen, even when completely submerged. Oxygen readily passes through this thin membrane-like skin, providing the frog with the oxygen it needs to stay alive under water without the need for gills. Because of the permeability of a frog’s skin, moisture is lost easily and most frogs must remain in a moist or humid environment in order to retain their water levels.

Lung Respiration

Compared with many other amphibians, frogs have relatively well-developed and complex lungs, which are subdivided and contain many alveoli—tiny sacs that are responsible for gas exchange within the lungs. Unlike mammals that control their breathing with the diaphragm, frogs use their mouths and nostrils in tandem to bring air into their lungs. When a frog breathes in, it lowers the floor of its mouth and relaxes its throat. Then it opens its nostrils to allow air to enter into the newly expanded mouth and throat, at which point the frog contracts its mouth floor and forces air into the lungs.
