Destruction of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) with electrolytic lesions has been shown to produce hyperphagia (overeating) in

rats. Injections of local anesthetic into the PVN may also stimulate eating. Likewise, injections of NE into the PVN also produce feeding in rats. What does this information suggest about the effect of NE on the firing rate of neurons in the PVN? A general principle relating changes in the rate of neural firing to changes in the rate of a specific behavior (such as feeding) can be derived from this information. What is this principle?

Answer:

The answer is that NE injection has inhibitory effects on the paraventricular nucleus VPN.

Explanation:

It can be said that the destruction of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) would produce a hyperphagia, on the other hand, the injection of norepinephrine (NE) would increase the feeding in the rats. This is because NE injection has inhibitory effects on the paraventricular nucleus. If neuronal activation in the paraventricular nucleus is increased, food intake by rats would be decreased.

In a food chain 200 kg of wheat is fed on by 18 kg of mice which in turn are eaten by 1kg of hawk. What is the percentage energy
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

0.1% of energy

Explanation:

Energy flow: From the whole quantity of energy that reaches the earth's surface, autotroph organisms or producers absorb only 0.1 or 1%.

From the input of solar energy begins a unidirectional energy flow through all the organisms in the ecosystem, from autotrophs to heterotrophs, until it is dissipated in the environment.  

At each trophic level occurs an energy transfer to the next, with only 10% being usable in each of them. This assessment is called "The 10% rule". As a general rule, only about 10% of the energy stored as biomass at one trophic level, per unit time, ends up as biomass at the next trophic level, in the same unit of time.

If wheat transferred 10% of the energy to mice, and of that 10% mice transferred 10% of the energy to hawk, then the percentage of energy transferred from the first trophic level to the third equals 0.1%.

10% (1st TL-2nd TL) / 10% (2nd TL - 3rd TL) = 0.1% (1stTL - 3rd TL)

<em>TL = Trophic level           </em>
