Determine whether each statement correctly describes the myocardial action potential and the pacemaker potential. 1. Because the

pacemaker potential occurs during systole, it can also be called systolic potential. (Click to select) 2. The pacemaker potential is the relatively slow, spontaneous depolarization in the SA node. (Click to select) 3. Myocardial cells produce their own action potentials after being stimulated by action potentials originating in the SA node. (Click to select) 4. Myocardial action potentials are characterized by a spike and then slow depolarization. (Click to select)

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. True

4. False

Explanation:

In mammals, the contraction of the heart muscle is caused by pacemaker cells localized within the sinoatrial (SA) node. These cells rhythmically generate slow electrically-induced action potentials due to their slow rate of depolarization. The pacemaker cells generate the action potentials that propagate through the heart and trigger the contraction of myocyte cells (i.e., myocytes simply conduct the action potential waves). The slow depolarization of pacemaker cells occurs during diastole, i.e., during the period of relaxation of the heart muscle.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

C) genetic drift.

Explanation:

Genetic drift is the random change in the frequency of alleles in a population due to random sampling. Many circumstances can lead to genetic drift for example bottleneck effect, founder effect, etc.

The bottleneck effect occurs when most of the members of a population die because of any natural disaster like flood, fire, etc. This can cause a certain allele to be lost in the remaining population because of losing major populations. So here due to hurricane half of the mammal population gets eliminated which shows it is an example of the genetic drift.

Answer:

Potential Explosions

Radiation

Radioactive Waste

9)

1st option

10)

Nuclear Fission is not a good source of energy. This is by reason of only 0.7% of the uranium being captured. This is small even if one doesn't mention that only 40% of that 0.7% is converted into usable energy. There are also chances that the power plant could explode during conversion. All of this evidence points to the fact that Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Energy themselves should not be relied on.
