Zinaida [17]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

pulse

axon

action potential

frontal lobe

hypothalamus

occipital

dopamine

Before receiving a nerve impulse, a neuron is at its resting potential, with more negative charges inside the cell than on the outside of the cell. When the neuron receives the nerve impulse, it is depolarized, allowing positive ions to flow across the cell membrane into the neuron. This is called an action potential, and the action potential travels the length of the neuron, taking advantage of the myelin sheath on many neurons. Once the signal has traveled through the neuron, the sodium-potassium pump repolarizes the cell, restoring the resting potential of the neuron.

How does the inside of a cell stay separated from its environment? help please
Alex73 [517]

So the phospholipids are arranged in a double layer (a bilayer) to keep the cell separate from its environment. Lipids do not mix with water (recall that oil is a lipid), so the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane acts as a barrier, keeping water out of the cell, and keeping the cytoplasm inside the cell.

Outline three examples of cycles of inorganic nutrients. For each, outline the uses of the nutrients in living organisms, its me
Serggg [28]

The three examples of cycles of inorganic nutrients are Nitrogen, carbon and sulphur cycle.

Nitrogen is required to make amino acids and DNA in organisms. Carbon is the main component of glucose through which organism make energy, about 18 per-cent of the human body comprises carbon. Sulphur is an important constituent of some proteins, amino acids and enzyme cofactors.

Explanation:

The biogeochemical cycles like the nitrogen cycle are responsible for converting nitrogen into many chemical forms as nitrates, nitrites, ammonia. This process involves degrade decomposing animal and plant matter and naturally cleaning the environment also nitrites and nitrates become biofertilizers. The plants take nitrogen through their roots and in turn primary consumer in food chain ie. organisms consume the plant and eventually releases nitrogen as a waste material, dead and decaying body to the soil and cycle goes on.

In the carbon cycle the carbon is exchanged from the atmosphere to the organisms and then again to the environment. Plants perform photosynthesis by using carbon dioxide, primary consumer eats it and gets nutrition to perform cellular respiration, in turn, gets energy which gets dissipated and stored as biomass eventually in the course consumer die and replenish the soil with carbon. The Carbon emitted will keep cycling through air, water and soil.

The sulphur cycle involves the movement of sulphur between rocks, water and living beings and plants. Plants ( producers) absorb sulphur dissolved in water and animal consume these plants to replenish their sulphur requirement. And when organism die, sulphur enter the cycle again.

There will be a transfer of these inorganic nutrients to the trophic level in food chain.
