Three presynpatic neurons, X, Y and Z, synapse on a postsynaptic neuron via a chemical synapse. Draw out this situation. When pr

esynaptic neuron X is stimulated, the postsynaptic cell membrane becomes slightly depolarized. When presynaptic neuron Y is stimulated, the postsynaptic cell membrane becomes slightly hyperpolarized. When presynaptic neuron Z is stimulated, the postsynaptic cell becomes more positive

The synapse between neuron X and the postsynaptic neuron is most likely a cholinergic synapse. Neurotransmitters from neuron X bind to the postsynaptic membrane receptors that are connected to sodium channels. Positive sodium ions(Na+)enter the cell  but are not enough to make the membrane potential reach the threshold. This is an excitatory synapse.

The synapse between neuron Y and the postsynaptic neuron is an inhibitory synapse. The most common inhibitory neurotransmitter is GABA(Gamma amino butryric acid). When GABA binds to the postsynaptic receptor, chlorine channels are open. Chlorine(Cl-) is an anion that is negatively charged. When chlorine enters the cell it makes the potential go below the resting membrane potential.

The synapse between neuron Z and the postsynaptic neuron has pretty much the same mechanism as the synapse between neuron X and the postsynaptic neuron but more sodium ions enter the cell so an action potential can be generated.

Differentiate between cell mass and cell number
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Measurement (Count) of Cell Numbers:

1. Breed Method:

A known volume of microbial cell suspension (0.01 ml) is spread uniformly over a glass slide covering a specific area (1 sq. cm). The smear is then fixed by heating, stained, examined under oil immersion lens, and the cells are counted.

Customarily, cells in a few microscopic fields are counted because it is not possible to scan the entire area of smear. The counting of total number of cells is determined by calculating the total number of microscopic fields per one square cm. area of the smear.

Papessa [141]
The correct option is B. 
Conductive hearing loss occurs when the sound waves in the ear are not been transmitted effectively to the inner ear due to some interference in the external canal. This type of hearing loss may occur in conjunction with other type of hearing loss.<span />

Answer:

An otter's den is called a holt or couch.

Explanation: Otters are found almost all over the world and in many wet habitats, such freshwater rivers, lakes, oceans, coastlines and marshes. Most otters live in dens — built by other animals, such as beavers — that are dug into the ground that have many channels and dry inner chambers
