Answer:

Excitatory.

Explanation:

Most of the signals synapses between neurons are either excitatory or inhibitory that are opposite to others. Inhibitory signals work to cancel the signal and excitatory neurotransmitters to cause the signal propagates.

Neurons communicate with each other with the help of electrical events called action potential. This phenomenon is generated through the flow of positively charged ion, across the neuronal membrane.

Information from one neuron to another neuron across a small gap, called synapse in which electrical signals are converted into chemical signals. On the other side the signal becomes electrical again.

The most part of signals recieved by neurons are excitatory meaning they generate a positive change in the membrane which in turn means that the permeability to ions outside the cell changes.

State two ways in which palisade tissue is a dapted for thotosynthesis?<br>​
olga nikolaevna [1]
Palisade mesophyll cells are closely packed to absorb the maximum light. They are at right angles to the surface of leaf to reduce the number of cross walls. Large vacuole pushes chloroplasts to the edge of a cell. Chloroplasts at edge enable short diffusion path for carbon dioxide and to absorb maximum light.

Positive feedback is most like _____.
sesenic [268]
~ B - Adding wood to a burning fire to increase the heat.

A is kind of like a reaction to negative feedback - it's too hot, so cooling down.
C is like turning the air conditioner off. It's cool enough.

B on the other hand adds something to the whole by reinforcing it. The fire is a metaphor for the writer's self-esteem, ego, good-feelingness, what-have-you.

15. Explain how each of the following creates electrical energy:
olga_2 [115]
Solar- technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation.

Hydro- a hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity

Tidal- energy is a form of hydropower that works by harnessing the kinetic energy created from the rise and fall of ocean tides and currents, also called tidal flows, and turns into unusable electricity

Wind- turns the propeller like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity

OTEC- plants pump large quantities of deep cold seawater and surface seawater to run a power cycle and produce electricity

Biomass- is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure steam. This steam flows over a series of turbine blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the turbine drives a generator, producing electricity

Geothermal- power plants use steam to produce electricity. The steam comes from reservoirs of hot water found a few miles or more below the earth’s surface. The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity
