Answer: This is due to inhibitory postsynaptic potential.

Explanation: Inhbitory postsynaptic pontential causes less or no action potential, due to that target nueron recieves negative signals from the transmitter or it has no receptors that can respond to that particular nuerotransmitter as there are many nuerotransmitters varying in sizes and shapes with specificity. Meaning a different nuerotransmitter will generate an electrical impulse to a certain kind of nueron causing an inhibitory/excited response which in this case the response was inhibitory.

Where do plants obtain the oxygen necessary to utilize foods? directly from products of photosynthesis from the splitting of wat
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

from the splitting of water molecule.

Explanation:

The splitting of water molecules  by sunlight is called Photolysis. This is the first reaction in photosynthesis; which occurs by catalysis  of enzymes of Photo system 11.

It involves the splitting of water molecules into;

hydrogen ion/protons.

Oxygen

and electron.

<u> Oxygen is  the by product liberated into the atmosphere, for animals to inhale for the process of cellular respiration</u><u>.</u>This is the source of oxygen fro cellular respiration in animals.

the hydrogen ions combined with electrons from photosystem 1 to reduce NADP .The latter is used to reduce C02  to form carbohydrate in light independent reaction
