Ksju [112]4 years ago

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When the resting potential of the membrane is changed, the membrane becomes either more negative inside or less negative. This small deviation from the resting potential is called graded potential. A graded potential occurs when a stimulus triggers opening or closing of the mechanically gated  or ligand-gated channels present in the plasma membrane.

For example, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters in response to a nerve impulse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors present in the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic neuron and triggers the opening of the ion channels to allow the inflow of particular ions to flow. The flow of ions changes the voltage across the membrane. This change in membrane voltage is a postsynaptic potential and is a type of graded potential.

Species A has a breeding call that is completely different from Species B. This difference in breeding call leads to
Minchanka [31]

Answer: The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Prezygotic isolation is a mechanism by which mating and fertilization is prevented. Thus, it prevents the formation of a zygote.

It can be achieved by various reasons such as temporal differences (difference in mating seasons), habitat isolation, behavioural differences (different mating rituals such as different dance patterns, voice calls, et cetera), mechanical isolation, et cetera.

Thus, different breeding calls prevent the species to interbreed with each which ultimately prevent the formation of zygote formation.

Hence, it is a type of prezygotic isolation.

Will give brainliest to first correct answer.<br><br> Explain how the superbug was created.
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A superbug refers to a germ that has formed resistance to multiple drugs that once treated the infection caused by the germ. The term “superbug” was developed by the media. While any germ may become a superbug, bacterial and fungal strains that routinely infect humans, animals, and crops are most likely to do so.

Superbugs are strains of bacteria that are resistant to several types of antibiotics. ... And the overuse and misuse of antibiotics helps to create drug-resistant bacteria. Here's how that might happen. When used properly, antibiotics can help destroy disease-causing bacteria.

Describe ONE similarity in the interaction between receptor: hormone , antibody: antigen, enzyme: substrate ? PLEASE HELP
nlexa [21]
All mentioned complexes (receptor-hormone, antibody-antigen, enzyme-substate) are involved in a molecular recognition.The molecular recognition involves <span>non-covalent </span> interaction between molecules. To form complex, molecules must be complementary in shape and charges, and usually, they are compared to key and lock. This way, the selectivity and specificity of recognition between molecules are assured.
