The right answer is Half-life.

Half-life is the time taken by a substance (molecule, drug or other) to lose half of its pharmacological or physiological activity. Used by extension in the field of radioactivity, the half-life, also called radioactive half-life, is the time at which half of the radioactive nuclei of a source have disintegrated.
<span>The term half-life is often misinterpreted: two half-lives do not correspond to the full life of the product. The half-life is in fact the median of the life of a product, that is to say the duration below which there remains more than 50% of the product, and beyond which there remains less than 50%.</span>

Leno4ka [110]

Strengthening some synapses and weakening others establishes neural circuits that contain memories; the low-frequency stimulation of synaptic inputs to a cell can <u>decrease</u> their strength in a phenomenon known as <u>long-term</u><u> depression</u>.

The effect of long-term depression can arise from neural effect of synapses. The synaptic impulses start to decrease gradually when a person is suffering from long-term depression. This decreased neural synapses arise from long-term exposure to stress that is chronic. It can also stem from anxiety. The continuous exposure of the neurons to stress and anxiety can also lead to degeneration and depletion of the cells present in the nervous system. Also the cortisol levels rise during depression and it is regulated by the hippocampus. This leads to a delay or restriction in the developing neurons inside the brain. Long-term depression can lead to increased chances of getting addicted to alcohol or drugs.

Are insects intermediate host or definitive host? Are there any symptoms of gongylonemiasis? If the insects are the definitive h
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

They are intermediate hosts.

Explanation:

Disease-transmitting insects are called vectors.

The life cycle of disease-causing pathogens is closely linked to the biology of the insect that carries it.

 The symptoms of gongylonemiasis include  hemorrhagic inflammation  at the site the pathogen invades,  followed by  granulomatous tissue development that  produces nodules in the invaded organ.

Some diseases transmitted by insects occur in both humans and other mammals because our differences in anatomy and physiology are not very different.

It is unlikely that clinical symptoms will occur in humans if the insect were the definitive host, because our biology is quite different from their biology, and the pathogen would be adapted to fulfill its entire life cycle in their body.

Which of these is an example of oxidation?
NeX [460]

Answer:

3. An Apple Turning Brown

Explanation:

When an apple is cut (or bruised), oxygen is introduced into the injured plant tissue. When oxygen is present in cells, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzymes in the chloroplasts rapidly oxidize phenolic compounds naturally present in the apple tissues to o-quinones, colorless precursors to brown-colored secondary products.
