Which of the following characteristics are true for an action potential?

Biology
1 answer:
pickupchik [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

I, II, III

Explanation:

A threshold stimulus is a stimulus that is capable to produce a response in excitable tissues such as neurons and muscle fibers. At threshold potential, the outward movement of K+ and inward movement of Na+ become equal to each other. When the potential exceeds the threshold potential, more and more Na+ enter the cell to depolarize it and to allow the opening of Na+ channels. Therefore, to fire an action potential, the threshold must be exceeded.

Conduction of action potential is all or none phenomenon which means that either it occurs or it does not occur. As an impulse is passed by each successive part of an exon, it enters the refractory period during which there is no conduction of nerve impulse. It ensures the one-way conduction of impulse from the cell body to the axon terminal only.

slavikrds [6]

The wood in a matchstick is made of cellulose, a polymer of glucose molecules. When you light the matchstick, heat and light are given off, indicating that an exothermic reaction is occurring.

There are two types of reactions:

1. Exothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat is liberated. Example, burning of fuel.

2.Endothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat gets absorbed from the surroundings. Example, photosynthesis in plants where the energy of the Sun gets absorbed.

Which of the following accurately describes pollination? 
alisha [4.7K]

The correct answer is option B. Wind-pollinated plants rely on large quantities of pollen grains.

The plants, which pollinate by wind spend less energy in creating attractive structures to attract pollinators, instead they produce many pollen grains, which are light and easy to carry by winds. the pollens are usually dry.

The angiosperm mostly rely on animal pollinator and they have large colorful flowers, which produce nectar to attract the insects or other animals.
