The correct answer is option A, Nitrogen causes producers to grow.

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient required for the growth of plant. Soil is the major source of nitrogen for plants and trees. During heavy rainfall the soil enriched in nitrogen flows into the nearby water bodies and causes its nutrition enrichment due to which the dense phytoplanktons grow in the water bodies. Such dense growth of plants in standing water such as pond or lake disturbs the water qualities such as dissolved oxygen, its temperature and pH, produce foul smelling water etc. Poor quality water is unable to support aquatic life and thus the species living in it die out

Suppose a particular neurotransmitter causes an ipsp in postsynaptic cell x and an epsp in postsynaptic cell y. A likely explana
kvasek [131]

Answer: This situation states that the cells has two different receptors on them.

Explanation:

The particular neurotransmitter can have different receptors on them. An (EPSN) excitatory postsynaptic potential causes change in the membrane potential of the postsynaptic cell which tends to open the channels for the positively charged ions inside the cell.

This leads to the activation of the ligand sensitive channels.

In case of the inhibitory postsynaptic potential ( IPSP) makes the neurons less like to generate any action potential.

So, for the same neurotransmitter, one cell X shows excitatory response and other cell y shows inhibitory response.
