Difference between cisgender and transgender
andre [41]
Transgender is a broad category referring to anybody whose gender identity, the gender they psychologically feel like they are, doesn't match their assigned sex, the gender defined by their physical traits.

Cisgender and cissexual are the same thing. It is the opposite of transgender. While a transgender person disagrees with their assigned sex, a cisgender/cissexual person identifies as their assigned sex.

Which is an abiotic factor that affects a freshwater ecosystem apex?
mina [271]
My guess is that fat-soluble toxins that may occur in freshwater ecosystems would most affect apex species in these ecosystems. This is because fat-soluble toxins are stored in the fat reserves of animals, and then bioaccumulate up the food chain. So in this case, most of the toxin is not secreted, but stored within the food chain, and bioaccumulates, with the concentration becoming higher the further up the food chain.

Functions of astrocytes include all of the following except
Neporo4naja [7]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Functions of astrocytes include all of the following, except

A) performing repairs in damaged neural tissue.

B) guiding neuron development.

C) functioning in action potential transmission.

D) maintaining the blood-brain barrier.

E) creating a three-dimensional framework for the CNS.

Answer:

Functioning in action potential transmission.

Explanation:

Astrocytes may be defined as the glial type star shaped cells present in the central nervous system. They envelope the synapse and can function with millions of neuron at a time.

Astrocytes are involved in the structural support in the brain and can repair the damaged and wear nerves tissue. Their main function is acting as blood brain barrier. The action potential transmission is mainly done by neurons and not by the astrocytes cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
