Biology

kupik [55]3 years ago

Answer:

b

Explanation:

<em>The average speed of an object is the sum of the distance traveled by the object relative to the total time taken to cover the distance</em>. In other words,

<em>Average speed = total distance traveled/total time taken</em>

In this case, the total distance traveled by the runner = 26.2 miles while the total time taken = 3 hours and 15 minutes

60 minutes = 1 hour

15 minutes = 0.25 hours, hence

3 hours 15 minutes = 3.25 hours

Average speed = 26.2/3.25

                          = 8.0615 miles/hour

                            = 8.1 miles/hour

<em>The correct option is b.</em>

In a neuroscience experiment, which one of these would best indicate LTP?
Nezavi [6.7K]

In a neuroscience experiment, the one of these would best indicate LTP is Stronger and more frequent action potentials in the postsynaptic neuron.

<h3>What is long-term empowerment?</h3>

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is the increase in postsynaptic responses over hours, days, or weeks after brief repetitive stimulation of presynaptic afferents.

However, for study purposes, LTP is commonly divided into three sequentially occurring phases: short-term potentiation, early LTP, and late LTP.

How is the inside surface area maximized in each animal dogfish shark?
Alexus [3.1K]
The inside surface area is shaped in a crescent. It consists of a spiral valve which is made up of the small intestine. Although the dogfish shark has a relatively short small intestine compared to other animals, therefore, the spiral valve allows for a more compact form of the small intestine.
Hence, this structure provides maximum surface area over a relatively short distance in order to make the absorption of nutrients efficient achieved from the food, the sharks had from eating different sea animals.

If our visual perception depends only on the feature detectors in the visual cortex, what would we see?
Anika [276]

The sophistication of the visual cortex can be simplified through understanding that the neurons found in this region are distinguished by the kind of stimulus that each detects.

There are three major groups of feature detectors in visual cortex. These includes simple cells, complex cells and hypercomplex cells. The simple cells are the most specific since it responds to the geometric characteristics of the stimulus such as the lines of particular width, orientation, angle and position within the visual field. The complex cells are similar to simple cells. What differentiates one from the other is that they respond to the proper stimulus in any position within the receptive visual field. In addition, some of the complex cells respond to particular lines or edges moving in a specific direction opposite the receptive field. Lastly, the hypercomplex cells are responsive to the specific length of the lines. It is believed that the information from all feature detectors conjoin in to result in the visual stimulation perception.
