to is when a stimulus successfully stimulates an action potential in its specific neuron. how your brain interprets the message

Xelga [282]

Information about the body and its surroundings is provided through the senses. Olfaction (smell), gustation (taste), equilibrium (balance and body posture), vision, and hearing are the five distinctive senses that only humans possess. We also have broad senses, sometimes known as somatosensation, that can react to stimuli including pressure, temperature, pain, and vibration. Somatosensation includes the sense of limb position used to monitor kinesthesia (limb movement), proprioception (the position of bones, joints, and muscles), and vestibular sensory, which is an organism's sense of spatial direction and balance. Although the sensory systems connected to these senses vary greatly, they all have the same purpose: to cause the nervous system to produce an electrical signal in response to a stimulus, such as light, sound, or body position.

<h3>What is Action potential ?</h3>

When a neuron transfers information away from the cell body and down an axon, it experiences an action potential. The action potential is also referred to as a "spike" or a "impulse" by neuroscientists. A depolarizing current causes an explosion of electrical activity known as the action potential.

Different ions crossing the neuron membrane result in action potentials. The sodium channels first open in response to a stimulus. Because the inside of the neuron is negative compared to the outside and there are much more sodium ions on the inside, sodium ions rush within the cell.

Depolarization, overshoot, and repolarization are the three phases of an action potential.

The peptide portion of any protein without its prosthetic group is called ________. The peptide portion of any protein without i

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Apoprotein

Explanation:

A peptide is a molecule formed as a result of the linking of amino acid molecules by a peptide bond. The peptide is the backbone of polypeptides and subsequently, protein molecules. Enzymes are proteinous molecules that serve as biological catalysts. The prosthetic group of a protein/enzyme is a metallic attachment to the protein, which plays roles that are vital to its functioning.

However, when the peptide portion of a protein molecule lack its prosthetic group, the protein is called an APOPROTEIN.

A pea plant that is homozygous for yellow pods with wrinkled seeds (ggrr) is cross-bred with a pea plant that is heterozygous fo

maria [59]

The correct genotypes of the parents are ggrr for yellow pods with wrinkled seeds and GgRr for heterozygous for green pods with round seeds.
If the heterozygous individuals for both traits express have green pods and round seeds that tells us that these traits are dominant.
In the gross presented below, you can see that the offspring will have 4 different genotypes, all present in an equal percentage:
gGrR 25%
gGrr 25%
ggrR 25%
ggrr 25%

- Are living things only the product of their DNA? Why or why'not?

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

No, since DNA does code for certain traits, others are introduced or changed by the environment. For example, some adaptations are not coded in DNA, such as dying hair. According to the gene, hair is to be black, for example, but it can be changed to look pink. Another example is when a person is first born. When they are, some bacteria enter the system of the baby --- mostly good. Then the baby's gut will be different, and the bacteria in the gut are not coded by the DNA. So, living things are not only the product of DNA, as there are extraneous factors that affect living things as well.

Explanation:

Phew, that was long! Hope this helps (:
