Answer:

B. Minerals in rocks heat and expand at different rates, which causes rocks to break.

Explanation:

Weathering is the process of transformation and wear of rocks and soils, through chemical, physical and biological processes. Its dynamics happens through the action of so-called exogenous or external agents of transformation of relief, such as water, wind, temperature and living beings.

Temperature is a factor that causes the physical wear and tear of rocks through the action of the sun. In this process, the minerals in the rocks heat up and expand at different rates, which causes the rocks to break.

The heat of the Sun reduces the amplitude of the relief as climatic mechanisms cause mechanical and chemical transformations, translated into weathering processes, which form new minerals and break up rocks, and erosion and sedimentation, which sculpt and mold new forms of relief.

What happens in the postsynaptic neuron when excitatory neurotransmitters bind to receptors?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

it causes the depolarization of the target cell

Explanation:

Glutamate is an excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter that binds to specific receptors on the surface of target cells and thus causes its depolarization. During glutamate-mediated depolarization, the difference in charge inside and outside the cell is lost due to the entry of sodium and calcium positive ions into the postsynaptic cell (neuron) through specific ion channels. Moreover, glutamate binding also leads to the exit of potassium ions from the cell, thereby resulting in excitation. Through this mechanism, glutamate regulates many signaling pathways, such as those involved in memory, learning, emotions, cognition, motor control, etc.
