Most of the Moon's basalts erupted between about 3 and 3.5 billion years ago, but the oldest samples are 4.2 billion years old, and the youngest flows, based on the age dating method of crater counting, are estimated to have erupted only 1.2 billion years ago.

Which of the following characteristics are true for an action potential?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

I, II, III

Explanation:

A threshold stimulus is a stimulus that is capable to produce a response in excitable tissues such as neurons and muscle fibers. At threshold potential, the outward movement of K+ and inward movement of Na+ become equal to each other. When the potential exceeds the threshold potential, more and more Na+ enter the cell to depolarize it and to allow the opening of Na+ channels. Therefore, to fire an action potential, the threshold must be exceeded.

Conduction of action potential is all or none phenomenon which means that either it occurs or it does not occur. As an impulse is passed by each successive part of an exon, it enters the refractory period during which there is no conduction of nerve impulse. It ensures the one-way conduction of impulse from the cell body to the axon terminal only.

These plants have small spicules on their outer surface which protects them from animals as well.

Answer:

Water molecules are polar and form strong hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

Properties like high surface tension and boiling point are unique to water due to water's polar molecules. This allows water to form very strong hydrogen bonds and give it some different abilities.
