Answer:
a. are quick to adapt to a particular stimulus intensity.
Explanation:
Phasic receptors are the one that first generates an action potential in response to the stimulus. However, they adapt to that intensity of the first stimulus and reduce signaling. Slowly, they even stop signaling irrespective of the presence of stimulus of the same intensity.
This is the reason that we get adapted to the specific odor such as gas leakage after some time even if the leakage continues.
Answer:
D. Sulfur
Explanation:
Electrons are filled in shells. Oxygen has a total of 8 electrons while sulfur has a total of 16 electrons. Out of the total eight electrons, the first shell has two electrons while six electrons are filled in the “s and p” orbits of the second shell giving the outer shell a configuration of "2s2, 2p4".
Likewise, out of the total 16 electrons of sulfur, the last 6 electrons are filled in "s" and "p" orbits of the third shell. Sulfur has a total of six electrons in its outer most shell "3s² 3p⁴". Since the electrons present in the outer most shell are available for chemical reactions and determine the chemical nature of the atom, oxygen and sulfur should exhibit the same chemical properties.
