If we were able to artificially alter the membrane permeability of pacemaker cells so that sodium influx is more rapid, ________

. A) threshold is reached more quickly and heart rate would increase B) potassium channels compensate and no change in heart rate would occur C) heart rate would decrease, but blood pressure would rise due to the excess sodium present D) tetanic contraction would occur due to the short absolute refractory period of cardiac muscle

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

The permeability of the pacemaker cell's membrane is the factor that controls the density of the materials inside the cell which also includes sodium and that controls the neurons and muscles. So if we were able to artificially alter the pacemaker cell's membrane parmeability, for the heart it would result in a quicker satisfaction of the threshold value and therefore would increase the heart rate.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:

A,

Explanation

Increase membrane permeability  to rapid  sodium influx  leads   to  fast depolarization.With continuous rapid opening now ,  threshold  will be reached onetime.

Hence  fast  propagation of action potential occurs . since reploarization and refractive period now shortened, due to increase  rate of depolarization .Rapid action potential will be propagated and transmitted in  the  cardiac cells. Leading contraction rapid  systolic  contraction.

Increase in sodium  ion concentration in the cardiac cells  leads to retention of fluids( the high solute potential draws water in from surrounding tissues and plasma by osmosis) in the  cardiac muscles cells. <em>This leads to increase in blood pressure, and the  increasing after load leads to rapid heart rate.</em>

In order to test the implications of early emotional bonding, scientists have done testing on infant emotionality by separating
timofeeve [1]

In order to test the implications of early emotional bonding, scientists have done testing on infant emotionality by separating animal babies from their natural mothers, allowing them to be raised by another of their same species. This testing strategy is called Cross fostering

  • Transfer of children between mothers is known as cross-fostering. This method is used to distinguish between environmental and genetic impacts on behavior.
  • Transferring some freshly born or hatched young of species A from their mother nest to the nests of species B is the primary process of cross-fostering.
  • A behavior can be proven to have a genetic foundation if cross-fostered offspring have a behavioral attribute that is distinct from that of their foster parents and similar to that of their biological parents.
  • Similarly, environmental variables are proven to be dominating if the offspring exhibits qualities that are different from those of their biological parents and comparable to those of their foster parents.
  • There is frequently a combination of the two, demonstrating both genes.
  • This can be utilized in selective livestock breeding to combine desirable genetic traits like weight, fat distribution, or looks with ones that are influenced by the environment, like temper.

Give an example in which adding a new species to an ecosystem increases its biodiversity​
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Well to give a good example of "ecosystem increases its biodiversity​" we must first define

biodiversity

"the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem."

SO an example would be like bringing a frog from china to a pond in amercia,but this frog is new and there arent any frogs from the speicus

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Fluoride theoretically should have 8

Explanation:

Fluoride is the Fluorine ion, meaning electrons are added or substracted from Fluorine to form Fluoride. Usually, an ion has a full outer shell.
