Answer: This is as a result of it covering more on the center part of the cell unlike when it is perpendicular.

Explanation: This is as a result of it covering more on the center part of the cell unlike when it is perpendicular. Cells in the primary visual cortex tends to responds to a particular direction of light. There are distinct inhibitory and excitatory regions and when the bar of light is moved over the cell you hear the firing rate (noise) which depends on the direction the light moves in. When the bar of light is set at an angle or perpendicular, the inhibitory receptive field is illuminated which slows the firing rate. when the bar of light is perpendicular, it leads to both the inhibitory and excitatory regions being illuminated which can sometimes result in their firing potentials canceling out each other, which can lead to no response in firing.

Answer:

Simple cells of the cortex give larger responses when the bars are parallel to the axis of elongation because when the bar is perpendicular, it does not cover more on the centre, it covers more of the on center part of the cell when it is parallel

Explanation:

Primary visual cortex cells responds best to specific orientations of light. There are distinct inhibitory and excitatory regions and when moving the bar of light over the cell you can hear the firing rate that is dependent on the orientation of the light. When the bar of light was perpendicular, it lights up the inhibitory receptive field which slowed the firing rate and also when the bar of light is perpendicular, sometimes both the inhibitory and excitatory regions are enlightened their firing potentials may cancel each other, therefore, no response in firing. The cell has elongated, clearly defined receptive fields where light will produce an on or off response known as  the off center region. The more of a region a stimulus takes up, the stronger the build up of the firing. When opposing regions are stimulated at the same time, there is inhibition and you see no firing response from the cell.

Modeling the Calvin Cycle Exploration
galina1969 [7]

Explanation:

The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in the bonds of glucose.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway, integral to plant and other primary producers producing energy. Energy is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide in the form of glucose molecules while the oxygen is emitted.

Photosynthesis, which occurs in several complex steps, is a rate-limited reaction, depends on several factors including concentration of carbon dioxide, ambient temperature, and light intensity; energy is recovered from photons, i.e. light particles, and water is used as a reducer. For those removed from photosystem II, water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons.

Therefore, water (H2O) split into H+ a by light during photolysis into H+ and OH-acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent; it reduces the molecule NADP to NADPH by providing H+ ionsand produces molecules of the energy storage moleciule ATP through an electron transport chain. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.

Later, in dark reactions, NADP and NADPH are used in the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules. These hold energy in their bonds, which can be released in respiration in the mitochondria.

Glucose production occurs after G3P production- a molecule of G3P, goes to the cytoplasm from the cycle, to form complex molecules and simple sugars like glucose.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter C. two are prokaryotes and four eukaryotes

Explanation:

A two are eukaryotes, and four are prokaryotes. This answer is wrong because animalia, plantae, fungi and protista are eukaryotes.

B four are plants, and two are animals. This answer is wrong because only one kingdom is plants (plantae).

C two are prokaryotes, and four are eukaryotes. This answer is right there are two prokaryotes (eubacteria and archaebacteria) and the others are eukaryotes.

D four are bacteria, and two are eukarya. This answer is wrong there are only 2 bacteria not 4.
