<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>

According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, which of the following is true of children in the concrete operational st
Anika [276]

Answer:

A. They center on the motives of wrongdoers as well as on the amount of damage done when assigning blame.

Explanation:

The Concrete Operational Stage, according to Piaget, refers to a stage that begins around age 7 and ends around the ages of 11 or 13.

During this stage, children are now capable of thinking in a more logical manner and their moral judgement has become subjective as <u>they now center on the motives of wrongdoers as well as on the amount of damage done when assigning blame</u>. For instance, they are able to judge another child according to the amount of damage she/he has done and whether it was done in purpose or accidentally.

They can also center on two dimensions of a problem at once and have thoughts that involve tangible objects instead of abstract ideas.

How does a tree use Cellular Respiration to store carbon?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

In-spiration Respiration in trees releases energy stored in carbon compounds through a controlled process. Aerobic respiration uses O2 to oxidize organic compounds into CO2 and H2O. Energy released is stored within living cells as ATP, ETM, and a proton bank which are easily used for cell work.

Explanation:

You can put it into ur own words.
