Flura [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B. Absorption

Explanation:

  • Absorption is a process that takes place in the small intestines or ileum of the GI tract, in which simple and soluble nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream.
  • Absorption is enhanced by several adaptations of the gut such as large surface area of the gut which directly facilitates absorption of nutrients.
  • Presence of villi and microvilli in the gut increases the surface area for absorption of nutrients in the ileum.

Fracking has several environmental issues associated with it;

  • Fracking leads to air pollution in case of blowout of gas pressure in formations, particles and dusts can become blasted into the environment.

When is the generation of an action potential impossible no matter the strength of the stimulus?
ANTONII [103]
The right answer is <span>Refractory period.

At the moment when the action potential is emitted, the fiber being depolarized, it is impossible to depolarize it again. It is, therefore, necessary to wait until the membrane potential returns to a value below the critical threshold in order to be able to excite it again. We are thus led to distinguish two periods that characterize its excitability.
An absolute refractory period: during which any stimulation, even supraliminal, is ineffective since the fiber is already depolarized.
A relative refractory period: during which a second action potential can be omitted provided that the depolarization produced by the excitation reaches the critical threshold, which implies that it is more important since the value of the resting potential has not been restored yet.</span>
