The stimulation of an inadequate number of sodium channels for the generation of a positive sodium channel feedback loop is cons

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.

Describe the movement of particles within solids, liquids, and gases.
Paladinen [302]
Particles in solids move ever so slightly. They are not completely at rest, but since they are so packed together it’s difficult for them to move. That’s what makes a solid a solid. Particles in liquids slide and move past each other fairly quickly, and have space to move. Particles in gases are the most spread apart, and because of this, they move the quickest. Hope this helped.

Which of the following can impact the timing of the blowfly lifecycle?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Given that a blowfly starts its lifecycle only if there are appropriate conditions met, one of which is suitable temperature, the correct answers as to what can impact the timing of the blowfly lifecycle is the air temperature.
I don't see how humans will impact when this fly is going to be born, so A and C are incorrect. Leaves also doesn't really affect blowflies, which is why D is incorrect as well.

Volgvan

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Bits of DNA that are interspersed among these repeated sequences are called spacers. Regarding to bacteria, the spacers are taken from viruses that previously attacked the organism. They serve as a bank of memories, which enables bacteria to recognize the viruses and fight against future attacks.

If a plant is living in a cold environment, which physiological change would help the most with the cool temperatures?
Novosadov [1.4K]

The plant species that live in the colder environment have some adaptations that makes them survive in that conditions

These plants have a well developed vascular system due to which they have the ability to trap every inch of sunlight available for the process of photosynthesis.

Some of the plants shed their leaves and stay in dormant conditions.

Evergreen trees have thick waxy coating that prevents the loss of water.

The plants that grow in arctic regions are small and they grow close to the ground in a specific shape that helps them to shed snow from them.
