Answer:

The initial effect of a stimulus on a sensory receptor is a small, local change in membrane potential called a(n) <u>receptor potential</u>.

Explanation:

The process used by sensory receptors to transform the physical energy of the sensory stimulus into action potentials, the fundamental unit of information in the nervous system, is called sensory transduction. The entrance of positive charges towards the interior (mainly Na +), will cause a depolarization; while if there is an exit of positive charges from the interior (mainly K +) then hyperpolarization will occur. This change in membrane potential is called the receptor potential. A receptor potential is then a local potential that can sometimes represent the only response that results from the transduction process, for example in the taste sensory cell.

What is the relationship between succession and climax vegetation?
igomit [66]
A climax community of vegetation is a biological community of plants, fungi and animals that is stable.It develops from a pioneering community into climax community. <span>Succession in Ecology is the observation of the growth and change in a vegetation community. So the relationship between Succession and Climax in vegetation is that succession is the process of observing the change in a vegetation community from a few pioneering plants to a fully developed, stable community known as a climax community. </span>

The gene D controls wing shape in flies and has two alleles: D is wild-type and dominant, and d is recessive and causes flies to
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

7 % progeny will show wild type phenotype

Explanation:

Parent 1: Normal wings and small eyes : DDee

Parent 2 : Downward wings and normal eyes : ddEE

DDee X ddEE = DdEe ( All have normal wings and normal eyes )

When a F1 individual is test crossed:

DdEe X ddee =

De/de = Parental

dE/de = Parental

DE/de = Recombinant

de/de =  Recombinant

Recombination frequency between the two genes is 14% hence DE/de and de/de will each have 7% frequency. Since DE/de ( DdEe ) will give wild type phenotype, it means that 7% progeny will have wild type phenotype.

Fed [463]

This potential is then used to drive ATP synthase and produce ATP from ADP and a phosphate group. Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidised glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system).
