The rapid inward diffusion of Na+ followed by the outward diffusion of K+ produces a rapid change in the membrane potential of a

neuron called ____.
Biology
1 answer:
grandymaker [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: depolarization

Explanation:

On depolarization, the sodium gates in the neuron membrane closes after sodium ions flow inside, while potassium gates open causing potassium ions to flow out and reestablish the original resting potential of the membrane.

The rapid change in membrane potential from resting to action potential is DEPOLARIZATION

The ecology question above says : A fast swimming strong body fish such as a swimming which is adapted to clear fast and strong
Dafna11 [192]

Correct question:  A fast swimming strong body fish such as a <u>salmon</u> which is adapted to clear fast and strong water current would most likely be found in which aquatic zone? Options in the attached file

Answer:

Source of a river zone

Explanation:

The fishes body is directly correlated with their environment and the pressures they receive from it. Those animals that are used to living in clear waters, with fast currents must be very strong, must have a hydrodynamic torpedo-like body and big and strong caudal fin to propel against the currents. These animals are used to living in water masses such as the source of a river zone.

Rivers belong to lotic environments, characterized by constant moving water.

  • Profundal zone: Sunlight can not reach this zone, so there are no plants. The Water movement is very limited, and in most cases, water is not clear.
  • Littoral zone: Is the transition zone, near the shore, where the light easily reaches the bottom. Usually, there is plenty of vegetation fixated to the bottom.
  • Wetland zone: In general these are calm water, very rich in diversity, and a proper breeding area for a wide variety of fish.
  • Source of a River zone: Rivers flow from higher to lower areas. They originate at the top of the mountains and fastly descend to finally end in a lake or in the sea.

Some species of salmons characterize by living in the sea during sexual maturity, but whenever they need to breed, they go back to the area where they were born. This is in sweet water. They swim in the river until they reach the place where they are going to oviposit. In order to do this, they need to swim against the current. Many times, females die trying to reach this special place.

describe two alternative photosynthesis pathways found in plants suggest how how these adaptions might help plants
klio [65]

a. Sugar cane, corn, carbgrass which are identified as C4 Plants allow fixation of carbon dioxide into four carbon compounds. This happens during the  hottest time of the day - their so-called stomata gets partially closed. C4 plants have been identified to lose only half of the water that C3 plants lose when they produce the similar amount of carbs.

<span>b.CAM PATHWAY - Plants such as pineapples and cactus have different approach to adapting heat. Carbon is fixed through a cam pathway. They use it to open their stomata at night and close it in the morning.</span>

The descending pathway from the red nucleus to the lower motor neurons is the __________ tract.
m_a_m_a [10]

Descending tracts are the pathways by which motor signals are pass through from the brain to lower motor neurones. Thus, all the neurones within the descending motor system are classed as upper motor neurones. The lower motor neurones then directly innervate muscles to produce movement. Their cell bodies are found in the cerebral cortex or the brain stem, with their axons remaining within the CNS.

Discuss the purpose of guard cells and stomata on the leaves of plants.​
BabaBlast [244]
Guard cells are located in the leaf epidermis and pairs of guard cells surround and form stomatal pores, which regulate CO2 influx from the atmosphere into the leaves for photosynthetic carbon fixation.

Stomatal guard cells also regulate water loss of plants via transpiration to the atmosphere.
