Imagine that a researcher is examining the positioning of synaptic clefts in a region of the nervous system of adult mice. In on

e of his mice, he notices that synaptic clefts are about 100 nm wide. What can be said of this mouse?

This is likely a mutant mouse (as synaptic clefts are typically 10 to 20 nm wide). Given that neurotransmitters act over short distances, this mouse may demonstrate delayed responses to stimuli, or no responses at all.



That’s the answer

Before starch can enter a cell it must be digested to form simple sugars. Why?
Nataliya [291]
Starch is a high molecular weight substance; therefore, it is insoluble to our cells. It needs to be broken down to simple sugars like glucose in order for it to be dissolved/absorbed in our blood. This is because simple sugars has smaller molecular weights and are more soluble.

Forested land in the Amazon basin is currently being cleared for agriculture, just as land in the Midwestern U.S. was cleared fo
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is statement b.

Explanation:

This is due to the fact that the reduction of the vast majority of forest land, that is, mainly in Brazil has resulted in the extinction of the unknown and the familiar species. This has also declined the biological diversity and thus has immensely affected the fertility of the soil.  

The soil has turned shallow and thus are less fertile in comparison to the Mid-Western United States. The Midwestern parts of the United States possess variety of soils, which are produced due to the glacial deposits and thus provides more fertility to the soil.

Explain how the reduction in biodiversity can effect the ecological balance in the dam
hodyreva [135]
<span>Damming a river has a variety of effects on the freshwater ecosystem, more than just altering the flow from A to B.  Dams create calm bodies of water, changing overall temperature regimes and sediment transport, leading to conditions which tend to favour generalist species. Loss of specialist species, particularly endemics, changes the community structure and leads to biotic homogenization.  A dam will withhold sediment in the reservoir, not just decreasing the amount of substrate available to local freshwater species, but even impacting diadromous, estuarine and marine species much further downstream.  The competition between resident species for food and breeding sites will increase as damming isolates populations, and perhaps more importantly, damming completely restricts migratory fish species.  Isolation may lead to decreases in genetic diversity and therefore puts species at greater risk from disease.  All of these effects may be exacerbated by changes in the surrounding land use.  Overall, damming river flow will lead to both a loss of native species, but also an increase in exotic species which are more likely to become established in degraded habitats. For this reason, dams are one of the greatest global threats to freshwater biodiversity.</span>
