Answer:

The correct answer is - spatial summation.

Explanation:

Spatial summation is the is the effect or impact of triggering an action potential in a neuron from many synaptic inputs or one or more presynaptic neurons. It takes place due to the multiple post synaptic potential starts simultaneously and a different part of neuron.

Thus, the correct answer is - spatial summation.

Answer:

Spatial summation.

Explanation:

Summation may be defined as the process of the process of adding of the different stimulus and has the ability to generate the action potential. Two main types of summation are temporal summation and spatial summation.

The spatial summation determines the effect that are responsible for the generation of the action potential from the presynaptic neurons. This summation combines the different stimuli on the different neurons over a particular space. The excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) are involved in the spatial summation.

categorize the following characteristics based on whether they are describing chloroplasts or mitochondria.

Ghella [55]

The categorization of the characteristics based on whether they are describing chloroplasts or mitochondria are as follows:

<u>Mitochondria:</u> carry out cellular respiration.
<u>Chloroplasts:</u> carry out photosynthesis.
<u>Mitochondria:</u> found in plant and animal cells.
<u>Chloroplasts:</u> produce carbohydrates used as source of food for most living things.
<u>Mitochondria:</u> abundant in human muscle cells.
<u>Chloroplasts:</u> not found in animal cells.
<u>Chloroplasts:</u> contain chlorophyll.

A cell can be defined as the fundamental functional, structural and smallest unit of life, which is found within the body of an organism.

Some examples of cell organelles that are found in the body of an organism include the following:

Mitochondria.
Nucleus.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Vesicles.
Cytoplasm.
Cell membrane.
Chromosome.
Golgi apparatus (bodies).
Chloroplast

<h3>What is mitochondria?</h3>

Mitochondria can be defined as one of the cell organelles that is found in the body of a living organism.

Also, mitochondria is known as the powerhouse because it is saddled with responsibility of providing all the energy required in the cell, especially by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions.

The release of cfcs into the atmosphere may lead to several hundred thousand new cases of skin cancer each year and destroy many

ehidna [41]

<span>Depletion of the ozone layer. Choloroflourocarbon (CFCS) are dangerous because of their destructive reaction with Ozone particles, which provide the Earth with a protective layer or shield against UV radiation. Depletion of the ozone layer begins when when CFC gets into the stratosphere. Sunlight breaks up cfcs releasing Chlorine Atom. Chlorine atoms in turn react with Ozone, starting a chemical cycle that destroys the ozone layer in that area. Once the ozone layer is depleted, there's nothing holding back the harmful UVB wavelengths of ultraviolet light (UV light) from passing through the Earth's atmosphere causing havoc on plants and animals.</span>
