The correct order is:

- Action potential arrives at the axon terminal.

- Calcium ions enter the axon terminal.

- Synaptic vesicles fuse to membrane of axon terminal.

- Acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft.

- Acetylcholine binds to its receptors on the junctional folds.

- Junctional folds become depolarized.

- Action potential is initiated on the sarcolemma.

Action potential travels through the membrane of the presynaptic cell causing the channels permeable to calcium ions to open. Ca2+ flow through the presynaptic membrane and increase the Ca concentration in the cell which will activate proteins attached to vesicles that contain a neurotransmitter (e.g. acetylcholine). Vesicles fuse with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, thereby release their contents into the synaptic cleft-space between the membranes of the pre- and postsynaptic cells. Neurotransmitter binds to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and its binding causes depolarization of the target cell (muscle cell).

All species are capable of producing more offspring than their environment can support.
blondinia [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Reproduction is one of the essential characteristics of all living beings. However, if they reproduce to their full capability, the number of offspring would be higher than the available resource. Due to this reason there is always shortage of resources and hence competition arises among the species.  

The fit species survive among all the competing species while the remaining weak species die. As Darwin also said that species have the ability to reproduce uncontrollably therefore, competition among the species for survival is a mode of population regulation

Hence, the given statement is true

Which type of wave does not require a medium to travel through? A. a light wave B. a sound wave C. a tidal wave D. an ocean wave
Sedbober [7]
The answer is A. a light wave

C and D both need water as a medium and sound needs air to vibrate in order to travel. light, on the other hand, does not need a medium
