IPSPs are the result of:
a. decreasing membrane conductance to sodium
b. decreasing membrane conductance to potassium
c. inhibitory neurotransmitter entering the postsynaptic cell
d. neurotransmitter binding to ligand-gated ion channels that are chloride selective
Answer:
d. neurotransmitter binding to ligand-gated ion channels that are chloride selective
Explanation:
IPSP refers to inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP). It occurs when the neurotransmitters released from the axon terminals of the presynaptic neurons bind to and open the chloride ion channels. This allows the entry of chloride ions into the neuron making the inside of the membrane even more negative. This does not allow firing of the action potential. The postsynaptic neuron is said to be hyperpolarized. Therefore, IPSP results from hyperpolarization of postsynaptic neurons by the opening of ion channels such as chloride channels.
The answer would be <span>A) Warm temperatures and rain year-round.
Because temperate forests are found in moderate climates in both north and south hemispheres.

Answer:
The condition is called "Spinal Bifida", caused by lack of vitamin B12 which helps regenerate the active form of folate.
Explanation:
Because Lori is a vegan, her vitamin B12 intake which comes from animal products such as meat, is not enough. She has to take supplements to make up for the lack of it in her diet.
As stated in the question, this lack of vitamin B12 causes her child to have a defect in his spinal cord called Spinal Bifida that defines a spinal cord or spine that has not fully developed. The vitamin B12 is necessary for regenerating the active form of folate.
I hope this answer helps.
Answer:
Explanation:
LHON (Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy): Is a disease that is characterized by loss of vision in young adults.
Sickle cell anemia: Is a disease characterized by production of abnormally shaped red blood cells, that is, not round in shape as normal but are 'sickle' shaped or elongated/crescent shaped.
Both diseases are heritable But LHON is caused by mutations existing in the mitochondrion thus only inherited maternally.
Sickle cell anemia is caused by mutations in the HBB gene which produces the beta subunit of hemoglobin. It is inherited from recessive genes of both parents.
