Following repolarization, the neuron may become slightly hyperpolarized before it re-establishes its resting membrane potential.

Hyperpolarization is due to a difference between how the voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels work. What is this difference?

<h2>Membrane potential </h2>

Explanation:

  • Membrane potential represents charge difference across the membrane, all biological cells are negative inside (cytoplasm) and positive outside (due to difference in ionic distribution)  
  • In a typical neuron cell membrane potential of cytoplasm is negative at rest (when no stimulus is applied) hence called resting membrane potential
  • Resting membrane potential of excitable cells is established by Na+ and K+pump
  • Repolarization starts with the efflux of K+ by the opening of voltage gated K+ channels
  • Voltage gated K+ channels starts to open when voltage gated Na+ channels becomes inactive
  • Hyperpolarization occurs due to excessive efflux of K+ by voltage gated K+ channels
  • Additional efflux of K+ occurs due to slow inactivation of voltage gated K+ channels

Which type of stimulus following a behavior removes something that is unpleasant? positive reinforcer negative punisher positive
Zolol [24]

The type of stimulus following a behavior removes something that is unpleasant is the negative reinforcer.

Stimulus is any signal. This can be in the form of touch, smell, taste, etc. This stimulus triggers the nerve cells of the body that send to signals to the brain to generate a response. For example, when one person touches a hot utensil, the touch of heat acts as a stimulus, where the brain sends response in the form of instantly removal of the hand.

Negative reinforcement is the response towards a stimuli that has not yet been received. For example, taking a medicine before any disease appears  is the acts of negative reinforcement.

Can you identify the ploidy of different structures? drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to comple
Leni [432]

Answer:

1. The gametophyte generation is haploid.

2. The embryo is diploid.

3. The megaspore is haploid.

4. The sporophyte generation is diploid.

Explanation:

1. Gametophyte- The gametophytic generation is the structure which produces gametes in the plant. Since the gametes are haploid, therefore, the gametophyte us considered the haploid.

2. Embryo- The embryo is formed after the fusion of fertilization when zygote develops, therefore, is considered diploid.

3. Megaspore- the big size spore which is formed from by the meiotic division of the megasporocyte, therefore, is considered haploid.

4. Sporophyte- the sporophyte generation develops from the embryo which is diploid therefore is considered diploid.
