Science and technology have influenced everyday life for thousands of years. If it hadn't we would still be living in caves and struggling to stay alive. Everything you see around you is a form of technology. Science itself can be considered a form of technology because it has helped us advance as humans and become more able to overcome disease and predators. Most humans today wake up and are subjected to technology's control because we've fed into it so much that it would extremely hard, if not impossible, for us to survive without it.
Can overload the immune system, causing you to become sick, and open to sicknesses.
Answer:
Air to water
Explanation:
as medium changes speed also changes
The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process.
<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>
<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>
Answer:
Possession of inherited adaptations that maximize fitness.
Explanation:
Basically ones that are best adapted for their environment. (I'm assuming "he" is Darwin?)
