Which statement about long-term potentiation (LTP) is false? A. During normal, low-level activity, the release of glutamate at t

he synapse activates only the AMPA receptors. B. NMDA receptors cannot ordinarily respond to glutamate because magnesium ions block the NMDA receptor's calcium ion channel. C. Strong stimulation of AMPA receptors depolarizes the postsynaptic membrane so much that the Mg2+ plug is driven from the central channels of the NMDA receptors. D. NMDA receptors are fully active only when 'gated' by a strong depolarization (via AMPA receptors) and the ligand calcium.

The correct answer is: D. NMDA receptors are fully active only when 'gated' by a strong depolarization (via AMPA receptors) and the ligand calcium.

NMDA receptors or N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors are ionotropic glutamate receptors.

Those receptors are inactive at the resting potential, because channel pore is blocked by magnesium ions, preventing ion flows through it. After the depolarization (AMPA receptor mediated) of the post-synaptic cell, the channel inhibition is released and thus NMDA receptor is activated. Also, the receptor is activated when glycine and glutamate bind to it.

When it is activated, the receptor channel allows the flow of cations K+, Na+ and Ca2+. The influx of Ca2+, which is secondary messenger, triggers intracellular signaling pathways.

Round the number 14.587020 to 4 significant digits. a. 14.59 b. 14.58 c. 14.587 d. 15.00 Please select the best answer from the
gregori [183]

Answer:

A. 14.59

Explanation:

Firstly, rounding a number means making a number simpler but keeping its value close. So rounding 14.587020 means making it look less complex but making sure the rounded value is within range of the original value.

Next, we have to know that to round a number;

* Digits below 5 (<5) rounds down the next digit to their left i.e. we leave the digits the same and turn the rounding digit to 0.

* Digits above 5 (>5) rounds up the next digit to the left i.e. we add 1 to the next digit

Next, to round to 4 significant digits means we want to see only the first four non-zero digits in our value. Note that, all non-zero digits i.e. 1-9 are significant

Hence, 14.587020 will be:

= 14.587020

= 14.58700

= 14.59000

We have four (4) digits which are non-zero already, hence we stop here and remove all zeros to the right

Hence, 14.587020 to 4 significant digits is 14.59 i.e. 14.587020 ~ 14.59

Analyze the property of water you investigated and provide some real-world applications of the
scoray [572]

Answer:

As the type of investigation is not discussed, lets answer the question generally.

Explanation:

One of the properties of water is that water in the form of ice is less dense as compared to water liquid water. This property of water lets fishes survive in conditions when the temperature is freezing.

The hydrogen bonds in water make the water turn into a vast, honeycomb structure when the temperature is below 4 degrees Celsius. This causes the ice to float on water and the fishes can stay alive in the liquid water underneath the ice.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]
The sudden change in climate is as a result of the interaction of the atmosphere and the lithosphere. The heavy rains at high altitude are as a result of relief rainfall. The mountain acts as a barrier, causing the air to rise. Once air rises it cools and condenses. Cloud formation often leads to precipitation on the windward side of the mountain.
