Answer:

Increasing amount of action potentials that arrive at pre synaptic terminal will increase the amount of Ca2+ that enters the presynaptic terminal.

Explanation:

Neuromuscular junction is called as the site of signal exchange which occur in step wise manner.
As action potential reaches the axon terminal, it opens axon terminal through which calcium enters.
Then fusion takes place between presynaptic membrane that causes release of ACh in synaptic cleft through exocytosis.
Binding of ACh with postsynaptic receptor cause opening of ion channels which allow the entry of sodium and potassium.
This flow generates action potential that travels to the myofibril and causes muscle contraction.

List some ways a DNA strand is similar to a ladder

ruslelena [56]

A DNA molecule is like a ladder because there are two sides (the sugar-phosphate backbones of the two strands) and rungs (each rung being a pair of complementary bases). Twisted, because the molecule is twined in a coil called a helix - or rather, a double helix because there are two strands.

Describe the events that might occur if there isn’t new crust formed.

ipn [44]

Oceanic crust is constantly formed at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are tearing apart from each other. As magma that wells up from these rifts in Earth's surface cools, it becomes young oceanic crust. ... Just as oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, it is destroyed in subduction zones.

Maurinko [17]

The correct answer is: A. A watery mixture of partially digested food released by the stomach into the intestines

Chyme or chymus is formed in the stomach, during the process of digestion (it takes 40 minutes to 3 hours to be produced) , and it is transported to the small intestine-duodenum.

In the beginning of the digestion (in the mouth), mixture of food and saliva called bolus, is formed. Mechanical and chemical breakdown of a bolus creates chime which is ready for the extraction of nutrients from it.
