Answer:

lateral inhibition in the retina

Explanation:

Horizontal cells are in contact with photoreceptor cells through the synapse. One photoreceptor forms an excitatory synapse with horizontal cell in the adjacent regions of the retina while the horizontal cell forms an inhibitory synapse with another photoreceptor.  

Hence, as one photoreceptor activates the horizontal cell, the horizontal cell, in turn, inhibits the other photoreceptor cell and thereby reduces the quantity of neurotransmitter released at the bipolar cell. In this way, horizontal cells transmit lateral inhibitory stimulus to the photoreceptor which in turn improves the contrast at the edges of the object.

How does an enzyme influence a chemical reaction In a cell ?
Basile [38]
Enzymes are biological catalysts. Catalysts lower the activation energy for reactions. The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

<h3>Heyy mate!</h3>

Explanation:

  1. (i) The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of masses of the two objects. So, if the mass of one of the objects is doubled, then the force also gets doubled (it becomes 2 times).
  2. If the mass of one of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is doubled. ... Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.
  3. The distance between the objects is doubled and tripled
  4. Force thus becomes one-fourth of its initial force. Force thus becomes one-ninth of its initial force.
  5. Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. ... If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on.

Respiration links up the simple sugar oxygen with the gas
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Respiration links up the simple sugar, <u><em>glucose</em></u><em>,</em> with the gas <u><em>oxygen .</em></u>

Explanation:

In the process of respiration, oxygen is used to breakdown glucose. Water and carbon dioxide are produced due as a result of this reaction. A huge amount of energy, in the form of ATP is also released during this process. ATP is used by almost every cell of the body to carry out normal cellular functions. Energy is mainly stored in the linkage between the second and third phosphate of an ATP molecule.

Which statement describes an important role of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:Plants use carbon dioxide to make food

Explanation: Carbon-dioxide plays a very important role in sustaining life on Earth.

Plants use carbon-dioxide and water for photosynthesis in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll to produce food and oxygen.

CO₂ + H₂O →  O₂ + glucose (food)

This food is consumed by the animals and oxygen is used for respiration. Animals use energy from the food to do work and exhale back carbon-dioxide.
