In an experiment on synaptic transmission, a synapse was bathed in a Ca+2- free medium that was otherwise equivalent to extracel

lular fluid. An action potential was triggered in the presynaptic neuron. Although the action potential reached the axon terminal at the synapse, the usual response of the post synaptic cell, did not occur. What conclusion would you draw from these results? Explain your answer.

Answer:

Response of the postsynaptic cell is dependent on the neurotransmitter release

Explanation:

Calcium (Ca2+) is essential for the propagation of the action potential since it is required for neurotransmitter release. When an action potential reaches the end of an axon, voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels open and Ca2+ ions bind to regulatory proteins, thereby initiating the release by exocytosis of neurotransmitters contained in the presynaptic vesicles at the synapse and modulating the transmission of a signal to another neuron (i.e. the postsynaptic site).

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Yes, it is possible to get shingles more than once.

Explanation:

Women are more likely to have shingles a second time more than men.

The longer the post herpetic neuralgia ( pain after shingles) the higher the chances of recurrence.

If shingles comes back, it may occur on another side of the body. This is because, once you have had chicken pox, the virus remains in the nerve. When the virus then reactivates the infected nerves become inflamed and when the virus reaches the skin, the rash appears.

svetlana [45]

Answer;

-Over 4000

Mathematically, the biomass in the ocean contributes over 4000 times more grams of NPP per year per gram than an equivalent gram of plant biomass in a terrestrial ecosystem.

Explanation;

-Living biomass forms a tiny fraction of Total Ocean carbon but has a very significant influence on the ocean carbon cycle. Every gram of biomass of the primary producers in the ocean contributes more to NPP per year than plant biomass of terrestrial ecosystems.

-In marine ecosystems, phytoplankton is the main source of primary production. The nutrient availability cycles make it important to distinguish between new and regenerated primary production ; the former identifies the annually renewed nitrogen, while the second measures the rapid cycling of nitrogen through ammonia availability.
