Answer:

The exception is d) Inactivation of phosphodiesterase

Explanation:

In the presence of light:

a) The membrane potential of the photoreceptors is hyperpolarized, causing a reduction in the amount of neurotransmitter released by the photoreceptor terminal to the postsynaptic neurons

b) Sodium ions accumulate outside the plasma membrane and the receptor potential takes a form

of hyperpolarization 6. This change in membrane potential leads to the closure of calcium channels. The end result is a decrease in the secretion of the neurotransmitter glutamate by the photoreceptors

c) Visual transduction or phototransduction is the process by which a light photon generates a nervous response in the photoreceptors

d) As a consequence of phosphodiesterase activation, degradation of a molecule called cGMP (guanosine cyclic monophosphate) is stimulated

Rapid defibrillation is a link in the adult chain of survival. why is this important to survival
Marysya12 [62]
Rapid defibrillation is important because it contributes greatly to the survival of sudden cardiac arrest patients by eliminating abnormal hearth rhythm. Research has shown that the only proven, effective treatment for sudden heart attack is prompt defibrillation which is applied within the first few minutes of attack.

Nuclear power has come under higher scrutiny in recent years. Which statement would make the strongest for the use of nuclear po
Tamiku [17]

The Answer is A) Nuclear power generates large amounts of power limited to projection of greenhouse gases.

I believe this is the answer. As per the reports in 1998, it has been calculated the emission of the greenhouse gas has reduced for nearly half due to the popularity in the use of nuclear power. Nuclear energy by far has the lowest impact on the environment since it does not releases any gases like carbon dioxide, methane which are largely responsible for greenhouse effect. There is no adverse effect on water, land or any habitats due to the use of it. Though some greenhouse gases are released while transporting fuel or extracting energy from uranium.

Have a great day. Keep asking questions!
