Answer:

If an inhibitory synapse fires at the same time and at the same distance from the initial segment as an excitatory synapse of the same intensity there will be no changes in the potential in the firing zone.

Explanation:

Under normal conditions, the transmembrane potential depends on the ionic charges present in the intracellular and extracellular spaces. The extracellular space load is usually positive and in the cytoplasm is negative.

  • <u>Depolarization</u> occurs by opening ion channels that allow sodium to enter the cell, making the intracellular space more positive.
  • An opening of potassium channels releases this ion to the extracellular space, leading to <u>hyperpolarization</u>.

An excitatory synapse is one capable of depolarizing a cell and boosting the production of action potential, provided it is capable of reaching the threshold of said potential.

On the other hand, an inhibitory synapse is able to hyperpolarize the cell membrane and prevent an action potential from originating, so that they can inhibit the action of an excitatory synapse.

The interaction between two synapses, one excitatory and one inhibitory, -called synapse summation- will depend on the strength that each of them possesses. In this case, the intensity of both synapses being the same, there will be no changes in the membrane potential in the firing zone.

Why is convection more important than conduction in the troposphere? Halp lol
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The faster the particles are moving, the more energy they have. Why is convection more important than conduction in the troposphere? The air doesn't conduct heat well so only the first few meters of the troposphere are heated with conduction

It has been observed that organisms on islands are different from, but closely related to, similar forms found on the nearest co
kaheart [24]

Answer;

A) island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.

Explanation;

-Islands tend to host very distinct but limited sets or species; on a given island a spectacular collection of one related group of species would be present and thriving, but many entire families or even higher taxa would be completely absent.

-All the species on the islands and the nearest continent are closely related to one another, however, each species had a set of adaptations that suits it for a particular environment. This means that the island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.

How does photosynthesis yield sugar? sumarize how the light-capturing reactions a?
julsineya [31]
Answer
            Photosynthesis yield sugar in two main steps

1. Light reaction
                           
In this step plant absorb sunlight which cause photolysis of water and excitation of electron. this electron flow through Z-scheme and atlast enter into NADH,  the end product of light reaction is ATP and NADH₂.

2. DArk reaction.
In this step ATP and NADH₂ are used as raw materials. it occurs in stroma of chloroplast. here CO₂ is used through Calvin cycle and at the end glucose is prepared.
