Answer:

The inhibitory transmitter activates ligand-gated potassium channels

Explanation:

When a cell is in hyperpolarized state,the potassium gated channels are taken longer time to close up, Therefore, more K+ leaks out of the axoplasm  to the exterior.Therefore the cell appears to continue in the resting state, with more negative value of the cell potential of (-120 mV) and this called hyperpolarization.

However, with the addition of  inhibitory transmitter,the ligand-gated potassium channels are activated,Theses channels closes up.Then sodium  gated channels, which  were initially in refractive state reopens, sodium ions diffuses inwards for depolarization, and the neuron returns to depolarized state.

What do you think can be learned from samples of sediment from the ocean floor?
AlexFokin [52]
Sea floor sediment provide an invaluable key to past climate change. Finely varved sediments from areas of rapid deposition provide a high-resolution record of past climate variation, and volcanic ash layers contribute to the comprehensive study of climate change on relatively short timescales. Oceanographers like to say that we know more about the dark side of the Moon than we do about the oceans. That statement is doubly true of the seafloor. Although modern technology has allowed us to learn more about the seafloor, vast regions remain unexplored. Scuba divers can only dive to about 40 meters and they cannot stay down there for very long. Although this is good for researching the organisms and ecosystems very near a coast, most oceanic research requires accessing greater depths.

What type of evidence would you look for in a natural setting to indicate that there is competition taking placle among the plan
alexdok [17]

In a study, competition among plants are normal. Hence, all plants required a few basic elements like the light, water, nitrogen, or phosphorus, depending upon the species and the location. Evidence that can conclude that competition do really happen in plants is that some plants release toxins into the soil, in their dropped leaves which wipe out the competition for soil nutrients (such as weeds). And when it come an area with many trees in close proximity such as a forest, height is also indicative of competition for light.
