The ________ threshold is hard to determine because it's always changing.

In neuroscience, the threshold potential is the critical level to which a membrane potential must be depolarized to initiate an action potential. Threshold potentials are necessary to regulate and propagate signaling in both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

Most often, the threshold potential is a membrane potential value between –50 and –55 mV,[1] but can vary based upon several factors. A neuron's resting membrane potential (–70 mV) can be altered to either increase or decrease likelihood of reaching threshold via sodium and potassium ions. An influx of sodium into the cell through open, voltage-gated sodium channels can depolarize the membrane past threshold and thus excite it while an efflux of potassium or influx of chloride can hyperpolarize the cell and thus inhibit threshold from being reached.

Base your answer to the following question on the graph below which shows the results of an experiment comparing the cooling rat
andre [41]
According to the graph, we can see that the white cans cool a little bit slower than black cans on the same conditions.
On the first ten minutes, we can see that the temperature of water in black cans decreased from 100°C to 50°C. and the temperature of water in white cans decreased from 100°C to 75°C.
To explain this, you need to know what is a dark and white color?
<span>it's a color in which the total absorption of all wavelengths and none of these wavelengths will be reflected. But since light is a form of energy expression, </span>we can conclude that the black color has no energy on it. on the opposite of the white color, which absorbs all wavelengths, so it has energy on it (which will turn into heat), and that's why it could keep the temperature better than the dark color (all is about energy).

Explain how the release of energy (cooling) affects the speed of the particles in a substance
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: When a substance is heated, it gains thermal energy. Therefore, its particles move faster and its temperature rises. When a substance is cooled, it loses thermal energy, which causes its particles to move more slowly and its temperature to drop.
