Answer:
The combustion of fossil fuels such as coal and oil has raised the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere during the last century (CO2). This occurs because the combustion of coal or oil produces CO2 by combining carbon in the air with oxygen.
Answer:
Following statements are correct
A graded potential has a threshold Graded potential amplitudes decay over distances
Graded potentials can summate in space and time
Graded potential amplitude increases with stimulus strength
Explanation:
Graded potential is generated in a neuron when ions enter or exit through the ligand gated channels. In general, this potential decreases with time before reaching axon. Signals that reach the graded potential, determine whether the amplitude of the potential will reach the threshold and hence causes action potential. Graded potential travel only over a short distance and is either depolarization or hyperpolarization. Their strength reduces with time as the charged ions move out of the membrane. They summate temporally or spatially
Graded potentials spread by passive means i.e spreading electronically to neighboring membrane regions.
Hence, the correct statements are
A graded potential has a threshold Graded potential amplitudes decay over distances
Graded potentials can summate in space and time
Graded potential amplitude increases with stimulus strength
Answer:
All of the above are correct.
Explanation:
The plasma membrane is the selectively permeable membrane that allows the movement of some selected particles only. Different types of movement like diffusion, osmosis and active transport occurs in the body.
Glucose acts as the primary energy source of the body. Glucose can be reabosrbed in the body by the facilitated diffusion and by the secondary active transport as well depending on the site of the cell. Glucose can enter in the peritubular capillaries as well.
Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
