Frost wedging is a type of physical weathering of rock.

Explanation:

Physical or mechanical weathering affects the rock structurally but does not change the chemical composition. Mechanical forces will rub, break or shatter the rock surfaces. Wedging, abrasion, exfoliation are different types of physical weathering.

Water is one of the main sources which alter the structure of the rocks physically.

Frost wedging occurring due to flow of freezing water over the rocks. This frozen water enters the rock through the cracks and crevices on the rock surface,  and will expand inside and makes the rocks to crack further and breaks it apart.

melisa1 [442]

The subcellular structures of neuron that forms the basis for transmission of nerve impulses are the synaptic vesicles.

What are the steps in impulse transmission between neurons?

  • The action potential or nerve impulse reaches the <u>axon</u> of neuron and depolarises the membrane.
  • Voltage gated Calcium channels open .
  • Arrival of action potential causes the synaptic vesicle to attach to presynaptic membrane.
  • Calcium influx triggers release of neurotransmitter.
  • This neurotransmitters bind to postsynaptic membrane and new impulses are created.

Synaptic vesicle under resting condition:

  1. The neurotransmitter molecules are stored in synaptic vesicles.
  2. If the neurotransmitter leak from the vesicles, they are destroyed by enzymes.
  3. During resting condition, they are placed randomly.
  4. When an impulse reaches the axon, vesicles are arranged in the presynaptic membrane.

Thus from the above we can conclude that, synaptic vesicles are the subcellular structures in transmission of nerve impulses and , under resting condition they are placed randomly.

zvonat [6]
The answer for the above question is the Avascular Necrosis. It occurs as an interruption in the blood flow within the bone resulting in the death of the hematopoietic cells, osteocytes, and marrow fat cells making up the bony structure. It is also called osteonecrosis or ischemic bone necrosis, which occurs when there is loss of blood to the bone, since the bone is a living tissue that needs blood, this interruption of blood supply will result to the death of the bone.

Shalnov [3]

<span>The second statement is correct.  Viruses can infect all cellular life forms, but each cellular species can be infected by own limited specific range of viruses. Most viruses that harm animals can not harm humans. But, some viruses can infect different species of mammals, for example both bats and humans can be infected be rabies.</span>
