Answer:

(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.

Explanation:

CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.  

They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.  

During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.

During the course of an action potential, the membrane potential rapidly rises and reaches a peak of about +40 mV before falling
ad-work [718]

Answer:

A)  A decrease in Na+ permeability, and an increase in K+ permeability.

Explanation:

When the potential action reaches a peak of about +40 mv Na+ channels are open and a high number of Na+ ions are entering the inside of the cell. Shortly after this happens the K+ channels will start to open their gates increasing the cell  K+ permeability  while the Na+ channels will start to close their gates, so the Na+ permeability will decrease. This happens  in order to valance the positive charge on the inside of the cell. Normally the inside has a negative charge while the outside has a positive one, as the inside is more positive due to the increase in Na+ permeability at the beginning of the potential action, K+ cations (which are in abundance in the cell) will have to go out through the K+ channels  so as to restore the charge valance, that means that there is an increase in K+ permeability.

Which branch of the autonomic nervous system (ans) mobilizes the body during extreme situations, such as rage or fear?
Shalnov [3]
There are two branches of the autonomic nervous system, namely the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous systems. Both of which regulates bodily functions involuntarily but in different manners. The parasympathetic system is the system primarily activated in "relaxed" states or "rest and digest" states. These include digestion, urination, slowing of heart rate, slowing of respiratory rate, etc. The sympathetic nervous system on the other hand is primarily activated by "flight or flight" response such as rage or fear. These include inhibition of digestion, increase in heart rate and respiratory rate, sweating, etc.
