Select a drug to research. Explain how tolerance and withdrawal would work for a person addicted to that drug.
finlep [7]
So here is the most obvious thing here… tolerance is a physical effect of repeated use of a drug, a great example would be a alcohol. Always the Tolerance does not always equal a type of addiction. Withdrawal: Symptoms a person experiences when not using a substance, due to the body reacting to no longer having the substance. Now back to the alcohol… alcohol is a very commonly used on types of drugs, for an example like regular rubbing a alcohol, drinking and more. This type can really make somebody addicted to the type of substance that is in it. Hope this helps!

Most animals are producers, meaning they are able to create their own food from inorganic sources.
skad [1K]
<span>This is false since plants are mostly producers and animals are mostly consumers. There is however a group of animals that are autotrophs and create their own food, but they are vastly outnumbered by consumers. The ones that produce their own are mostly within the family of funghi or similar things that border on whether they're animals or plants.</span>

How does nerve impulses travel from one neuron to another?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

(d) Electrical-->Chemical-->Electrical

Explanation:

A nerve impulse is the transmission of an electrical change along the neuron's membrane from the point at which it is stimulated (synapse). The normal direction of impulse in the body is from the cell body to the axon. This nerve impulse, or action potential, is a sudden and rapid change in the transmembrane potential difference.

Normally, the membrane of the neuron is polarized at rest, which means that the ionic constitution of the medium internal to the membrane is different from the external medium, which generates different electrical charges in one medium and the other, so this difference, ie , the potential during rest is negative (-70 mV). The action potential thus consists of a rapid reduction of membrane negativity to 0mV and inversion of this potential to about + 30mV, followed by a rapid return to values slightly more negative than the resting potential of -70mV.

Nervous impulse or action potential, therefore, is a phenomenon of an electrochemical nature and occurs due to changes in the permeability of the neuron membrane. These permeability modifications allow ions to pass across the membrane. Since ions are electrically charged particles, changes also occur in the electric field generated by these charges.

Thus, we can say that the correct answer to this question is: Electrical -> Chemistry -> Electrical
