A chemoelectrical signal that can travel along cell membranes in a wave-like pattern is a(n)?
OverLord2011 [107]

A chemo electrical signal that can travel along cell membranes in a wave-like pattern is called a nerve impulse.

What is a nerve impulse?

  • A nerve impulse is an action potential generated across the plasma membrane of the neurons of our nervous system.
  • The electrical potential difference generated across the neurilemma i,e., the plasma membrane of the neurons (due to the reception of the external stimulus), is responsible for the generation of the nerve impulse.
  • Neurotransmitters, chemicals like acetylcholine, dopamine, etc., are also involved in transmitting nerve impulses across neurons.

Hence, the chemoelectrical signal that can travel along cell membranes in a wave-like pattern is a nerve impulse.

which steps of the greenhouse effect are most affected by the increases in greenhouse gases, leading to increase in heat?
USPshnik [31]

Answer: Greenhouse gases arise naturally, and are part of the make-up of our atmosphere. Earth is sometimes called the “Goldilocks” planet – it’s not too hot, not too cold, and the conditions are just right to allow life, including us, to flourish. Part of what makes Earth so amenable is the naturally-arising greenhouse effect, which keeps the planet at a friendly 15 °C (59 °F) on average. But in the last century or so, humans have been interfering with the energy balance of the planet, mainly through the burning of fossil fuels that give off additional carbon dioxide into the air. The level of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has been rising consistently for decades and traps extra heat near the surface of the Earth, causing temperatures to rise.

Tresset [83]

Population density is the aspect of population ecology of the black-tailed prairie dog does this statement describe.

Explanation:

Population density is the number of organisms are there in per unit area. It is used to measure geographical area occupied by organisms and its statistics.

In population ecology the structure, dynamics and contribution of population of species is studied. The idea of species distribution is studied in it.

The population density determines the number of species or members of particular population are present is a particular area.

An area of  low density population will have more resources and more area per organism and less competition for resources and vice versa for high density population.

Prairie dogs have 12 adults per hectare of area this tells the population density of the rodents.
