Radda [10]4 years ago

The term for a lack of a nutrient is called malnutrition.

You can tell because the prefix mal- derives from French, meaning bad, or wrong.

Therefore, it literally means "bad-nutrition", meaning you're not getting enough nutrition. In other words - a lack of nutrition.

The opening of which of the following types of ion channels will lead to a depolarization? A chemically gated sodium channel 2)
nikitadnepr [17]

All of them will lead to depolarisation.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Depolarisation is a phenomenon ebochor occurs in the excitable tissues of our bodies, namely the neurons and the muscle T junctions. Here the membrane is already polarised by means of difference in charges as well as concentration of ions on both sides of the cell membrane. With a single stimuli, this change in concentration is gone, and this is de polarisation.

This phenomenon occurs because of the opening of the ion channels like potassium channels and sodium channels which leads to a diffusion of ions from both sides to the other achieving a more or less equal concentration on both sides of cell membrane.

Now this opening of the ion channels can be triggered by means of different stimuli. In case of neurons, the opening of the post synaptic ion channels are guided by the chemical impulse taking in synapse.

In case of inter neuron transfer, the ion channels open due to change in voltage of the previous part of the axon.

In case of organ of Corti, the sodium channels open due to mechanical events occurring inside cochlea. So ion channels can open in any form will lead to change in potential.

Where does thyroxine come from and what does it do?
GREYUIT [131]

Thyroxine is an important hormone released into the bloodstream by the thyroid gland in the body. When tyroxine is released into the blood stream, it moves through certain organs such as the kidney and liver, where most of it is changed to an active form known as triiodothyronine. Thyroxine perform important roles in brain development, heart and digestive functions, bone maintenance, controlling muscle and metabolic rate of the body.

A thunderstorm! You see a flash of lightning across the sky. Five seconds later, your hear the thunder. If lightning and thunder
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Light travels extremely fast through the air, 300,000,000 m/s. Sound travels much slower, 343 m/s through air. Therefore we can see light in an instant, but it takes a while to hear thunder.

Explanation:

When you compare the numbers (speed of light vs speed of sound) you understand that light is 10^6 faster in speed that sound. When lightning occurs at a greater distance from the observer, this difference in speeds in more perceptible because the two different waves would have to travel greater distances to the observer and the relative differences in speed become increased.

Remember however, that sound travels in a medium while light waves do not require a medium because they are electromagnetic waves. In a vacuum, therefore, you would observe the lightning but never the sound.
