Answer:

Sub-threshold

Explanation:

If the stimulus is too small to generate the action potential, it is considered as subthreshold stimulus. Subthreshold stimulus causes the opening of small number of sodium channel i.e. not enough to generate action potential because action potential is generated by complete reversal of membrane polarity. Slight depolarization is caused by subthreshold stimulus by the opening of inadequate number of sodium channel but its magnitude is not enough to reach the threshold voltage. Consequently the action potential is not generated.

The response produced by subthreshold stimulus is called as local response or local depolarization because it could not travel further. The minimum stimulus required to generate the action potential is call as threshold stimulus and stimulus greater than threshold stimulus is called as suprathreshold stimulus. It changes the frequency of generated action potential.

A dodder plant wraps itself around a potato plant. Then the dodder uses its root system to obtain water and nutrients from the
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

•The dodder plant is parasitic.

•The dodder plant stays alive because of the potato plant.

Explanation:

A parasite cannot survive or reproduce without its host because it depends on it. The dodder plant is parasitic to the potato plant because it derives its nutrition from the potato plant which is the host. The potato plant is denied its nutrient and therefore grows weakly below its maximum potential. The dodder plant gains while the potato plant is negatively affected- that’s parasitism relationship.

Why is the calvin-benson cycle also known as the carbon-fixation cycle?
myrzilka [38]
This is because the primary function of this stage is the fixation of carbon. which involves making simple sugars from carbon dioxide and water. It involves addition of inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) to an organic molecule or molecules by plants, this occurs during the light independent stage reaction of photosynthesis and is the first step in the Calvin cycle.

Why are fungi fossils so rare?
Volgvan
The reason as to why fungi fossils seem so rare is that they are usually microscopic and often difficult or impossible to identify. Not much information on fungi fossils has been documented. This could be because fungi fruiting bodies consist of soft, fleshy and easily degradable tissues which due to their poor integrity do not keep or preserve as well as animal tissue. Even when available, it takes a trained eye to recognize fungal fossils. Not many people have the training and expertise to recognize the fossils.
