____________ is the process by which inhibitory transmitters cause the inside of the neuron to become more negative.

Biology
1 answer:
lidiya [134]3 years ago

Answer:

Hyperpolarization

Explanation:

At the synapse, neurotransmitters bind to neurotransmitter receptors in the postsynaptic neuron’s plasma membrane. This results in the opening of the ions channels and the flow of specific ions to change the voltage across the membrane. An inhibitory neurotransmitter inhibits the firing of the action potential by making the inside of the membrane more negative. It is called hyperpolarization (inhibition).

It may occur when the neurotransmitter opens the Cl– or K+ channels to allow the movement of chloride ions into the cell while permitting the outward movement of potassium ions to make the inside of the cell more negative.

how factors such as blood pressure blood volume blood viscosity resistance disease and exercice affect blood flow
schepotkina [342]

Blood is essential for many organisms, such as humans and animals, for its important function of transporting substances (food, oxygen), vitamins, waste (carbon dioxide), hormones, etc. to all tissues and cells of the body.

1) Blood volume

If the blood volume increases ==> the blood flow increases.

2) Viscosity of blood

If we have an increase in blood viscosity ==> we have a decrease in blood flow

3) Peripheral Resistance

If there is an increase in peripheral resistance ==> the blood flow decreases

4) Diameter of blood vessels

If we have an increase in diameter of

blood vessels ==> decreased peripheral resistance ==> increased blood flow

5) Blood pressure

If the blood pressure increases ==> the blood flow increases.

6) In case of diseases

In the case of atherosclerosis or acute coronary syndrome ==> blood flow decreases.

7) Physical excercises:

During physical exercises ==> the heart rate increases ==> the blood flow increases.

What did Darwin conclude about the finches on the Galapagos Islands that later supported his theory of evolution? Check all that
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The finches on Galapagos Islands had different beak

The beaks of the finches changed over time

The Galapagos finches had a common ancestor

Explanation: Darwin's Finches are a good example of natural selection and adaptive radiation of evolution. The different finches in Galapagos Island have emerged from a common  black, seed eating, short beak finches. This is called adaptive radiation, where different species arose from a single ancestor.

Due to changes in the natural environment, food resources, some finches have a long beak. This long beaks help them to eat insects. As a result, the competition will be less and nature selects them to survive in the new environment. This is a natural selection of evolution.
