Answer (True)Axon of first neuron to dendrites, cell body, and axon of second neuron

(True)The influx of calcium ions at the synaptic terminal causes the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the terminal membrane and results in the release of neurotransmitters that bind to postsynaptic ion channels.

Explanation:

The first answer explains the transmission pathway of action potential in a neuron with ELECTRICAL SYNAPSE at dendrites.

This is an exemple of SULTATORY CONDUCTION,because the action potential jumps from one Nodes of Ranvier to another along the axon.

The second answer explains transmission from pre-synaptic neuron ,with CHEMICAL SYNAPSE initiated by calcium ion in influx into the synaptic cleft at terminal ends; for transmission of action potential to the post synaptic neuron to induce inhibition or excitation of muscles.

The neurotransmitters released binds with the receptors on the post synaptic neuron to ensure crossing /transmission of action potential

The correct answer is a semi-permeable membrane.

A semipermeable membrane refers to a layer, which only allows some of the molecules to pass through. A semipermeable membrane can be both artificial and biological. The speed of passage relies on the concentration, pressure, and temperature of the solutes or molecules on either side, as well as the permeability of the membrane to each solute.

On the basis of the solute and the membrane, permeability may depend on the size of the solute, properties, solubility, or chemistry. A semipermeable membrane illustrates a membrane, which permits some of the constituents to go through, while the selectively permeable membrane opts for the substances that pass through.

In stage 2 of photossynthesis, NADP+ becomes NADPH by adding an H+. Where does the H+ come from?

Shtirlitz [24]

Enzymes break up water or H2O into electrons, H+ ions, & oxygen atoms. Electrons replace the "highenergy" electrons that were lost in the electron transport chain.<span>Oxygen is released and the H+ ions are also released. - So the first one would be A. splitting of water or H2O

and the second one is B :)
