Light energy (from the sun) is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen in the process of photosynthesis.
carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen
the light energy from the sun is then trapped in the glucose. in order to retrieve the chemical energy stores within the molecule, the bonds have to be broken.
He ability of a stream to erode and transport materials is largely based on its velocity.
Answer:
Autotrophs are the organisms which have ability make their own food using various sources of energy. Examples are can green plants and algae such as <em>Spirogyra, Chlorella, Volvox</em> make their food using sunlight carbon dioxide and water. they are photoautotrophs
Some bacteria are also make their food using chemical energy through oxidation. They are chemoautotrophs.
Neurons, also known as nerve cells, send and receive signals from your brain. While neurons have a lot in common with other types of cells, they’re structurally and functionally unique.
Answer:
The order of events would be:
4.Threshold stimulus, Na+ channels open. This is the first event
5.Na+ influx, Depolarization. Second event
2.Na+ channels close, K+ channels open. This is the third event
1.K+ efflux, Repolarization. Fourth event
3.Hyperpolarization, K+ channels close
Explanation:
In resting state, the membrane is negative inside, and K+ concentration is higher than outside. Na+ concentration is higher outside instead.
Sodium influx is responsible for membrane depolarization. It's the event to produce the action potential. When sodium channels are closing, potassium channels open and K+ go outside until repolarization occurs. But now we have both ions in different sides of the membrane, and this can't be stimulated again to produce other action potential. The membrane will remain refractory to respond to the adequate stimulus until ions migrate to their original sites. This is Na+ outside, and K+ inside. This is responsibility of the Na+/ K+ pump, that uses ATP to pump Na+ out, and K+ in. Once both ions had been relocated in the membrane, this is ready to receive a correct stimulus to produce a new action potential.
