Answer:Hyperpolarization, depolarization

Explanation: Membrane potential is the difference in charge distribution or electrical potential across the membrane of a cell.

Resting membrane potential is the membrane potential when the cell is not receiving any excitatory or inhibitory signal, it is the membrane potential when a cell is at rest. Depolarization means that the cell is less negative, that is, there is less negative ions on the inside of the cell than on the outside while hyperpolarization means that the cell is more negative or less positive, that is, there is more negative ions on the inside of the cell than on the outside of the cell.

Answer: depolarization; hyperpolarization

Explanation:

At resting potential (absence of stimulus), the cell membrane of a neuron is said to be polarized with a net negative charge within due to more potassium (K+) ions present than sodium (Na+) ions.

However, an impressed stimuli reverses the ions content as K+ ions flows out and quickly replaced by Na+ ions, resulting in a decrease in membrane potential and a more positive cell membrane. Thus, depolarization occurs.

An increase in the membrane potential (so that it becomes more negative) is called hyperpolarization.

What can you say about the environments of these widely seperated layers
Alika [10]

Answer:

This means that the two separate rocks were once part of one piece of rock. These layers got separated most probably by continental drift as a result of tectonic plate movements. An example of such a fossil is the Mesosaurus, a freshwater crocodile-like reptile, that is found in Southern Africa and Eastern South America continents- that means they were once one land mass.

The environment in these two separate layers would most likely be different. As the layers drift apart from each other , they drift across latitudes that are determinants of climate in a region. Therefore, even the organisms in these two rock layers will evolve differently (even though they will share a common ancestor) in adaptation to respective environments – this is called allopatric speciation.

Which of the following statements about the germ layers is NOT correct?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The endoderm gives rise to the nervous system.

Explanation:

Gastrulation is the process that occurs during the third week of embryonic development and includes transformation of embryonic disc with epiblast and hypoblast into a three layered embryonic disc made up of ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. These are the three primary germ layers and give rise to various tissues and body organs.

Endoderm of the embryo give rise to epithelial lining of gastrointestinal tract (except the buccal cavity), respiratory tracts and other organs such as gallbladder, liver,etc. Mesoderm forms connective tissues such as bones as well as muscles and peritoneum. All the tissues of nervous system and epidermis of skin are derived from ectoderm.

How does a endotherm and ectotherm react to the heat?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Ectotherms warm their bodies by absorbing heat from the surrounding environment, whereas Endotherms produce heat by their metabolic activities. • Ectotherms have large variations in normal body temperatures while endotherms maintain their body temperature in a fairly constant value
