Stimuli alter the activity of excitable sensory cells and generate action potentials via _____.

1 answer:

6 0

TRANSDUCTION. This refers to the stimulus being converted into an action potential which is then transmitted in the axons going to the central nervous system. This usually starts at the receptor cell. The stimulus change the electrical potential across the cell membrane. This will result in depolarization of the membrane which allow the action potential to be transmitted towards the brain where the electrical impulse is integrated. This usually happens in sensory cells in the body such as vestibular apparatus, olfactory cells, the retina and even the nerve endings alls over our body.

Hitman42 [59]

The correct option is C.
In chemistry, a radical is defined as an atom, ion or molecule that possess an unpaired valence electron. Generally, radicals are highly reactive chemically. Examples of radicals are hydroxyl, hypochlorite, nitrate, carbonate, oxalate, permanganate, etc. Free radicals combine with one another or with single atoms to produce neutral substances. In the question given above, the two compounds given in option C have the same type of radical, which is hydroxyl radical.

How can driving a car affect the carbon cycle?

alekssr [168]

Hey there, thx for posting your question to Brainly, i've posted some information below and an explanation, hope it helps you<3

Carbon moves from the atmosphere to plants. In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2). Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is pulled from the air to produce food made from carbon for plant growth.

Carbon moves from plants to animals. Through food chains, the carbon that is in plants moves to the animals that eat them. Animals that eat other animals get the carbon from their food too.

Carbon moves from plants and animals to soils. When plants and animals die, their bodies, wood and leaves decays bringing the carbon into the ground. Some is buried and will become fossil fuels in millions and millions of years.

Hey! Hope i was able to help, have a good one.
