Out of the following choices, fossil fuels is the largest reservoir of carbon in the world. A couple of other reservoirs of carbon are dissolved in the ocean and in plants.
<span>Suffocation is a most leading reason of death in grain storage
bins. Grain handling industry is a high hazard industry where workers can be
exposed to numerous serious and life threatening hazards. These hazards
include: fires and explosions from grain dust accumulation, suffocation from
engulfment and entrapment in grain bins, falls from heights and crushing
injuries and amputations from grain handling equipment. </span>
Answer:
1. Signaling molecule
2. Signaling receptors
Explanation:
Hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitters, etc. serve the function of signaling molecules for cells. These molecules are released by one cell and bind to the receptors present on/in the target cells to elicit the desired response. Thereby, the signaling molecules serve in cell-cell communication.
For example, insulin hormone synthesized and released from beta cells of pancreas binds to its cell surface receptors present on the surfaces of liver cells and muscle cells to stimulate the uptake of the glucose from the blood.
Likewise, neurotransmitters released from the presynaptic neuron bind to receptors present on the membrane of postsynaptic neuron and serve to carry the nerve impulse to the postsynaptic neuron.
Answer:
"Action potential is a rapid rise and subsequent fall in voltage or membrane potential across a cellular membrane with a characteristic pattern."
It is the mode through which a neuron transports electrical signals.
Explanation:
- Option - (a) is the best choice to choose from,
- <u>The refractory period :</u>
A second action potential cannot occur until the membrane has recovered or reestablished, this is the refractory period. The absolute refractory period coincides with inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels which makes it impossible to generate another nerve impulse.
