<span>Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors so they respond only at the onset and offset of the stimulus. The Pacinian corpuscle has a single afferent nerve fiber. Its end is covered by a sensitive receptor membrane whose sodium channels will open when the membrane is deformed in any way. Pressure thus causes sodium to enter the neuron and create a generator potential. If this potential reaches a certain threshold nerve impulses are formed. This impulse is now transferred along the axon with the use of sodium channels and sodium/potassium pumps in the axon membrane. The magnitude of the stimulus is encoded in the frequency of impulses generated in the neuron. So the more massive or rapid the deformation of a single corpuscle, the higher the frequency of nerve impulses generated in its neuron.</span>

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

1, 2, and 5

Explanation:

Viruses are pathogenic microorganisms that lack the ability to thrive and reproduce outside of a living host cell. Their structure is simple - they consist of a nucleic acid molecule surrounded by a protein coating and sometimes an outer envelope. They are too small to be seen by a light microscope.

As they are way smaller than living cells, viruses are smaller than organelles as well. They don't have their own metabolism. Their reproduction is not based on division. They don't have any organelles, including the cytoplasm. They are surrounded by a protein coat called the capsid.

Based on this information, we can see that the correct statements are statements 1, 2, and 5.

Different theories about the origin of life
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

In evolutionary biology, abiogenesis, or informally the origin of life (OoL), is the natural process by which life has arisen from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds. ... Many approaches to abiogenesis investigate how self-replicating molecules, or their components, came into existence.
