Rotates?
Ex: Foucault's pendulum is an easy experiment demonstrating the Earth's rotation. When Léon Foucault first performed the experiment in 1851, the concept that the Earth revolves was nothing new or radical; the pendulum's accomplishment was to provide a proof that did not require minute observations of the stars or other objects far removed from Earth. Foucault's pendulum is a highly localized, easily prepared experiment whose result is clear, powerful, and accessible even to the non-scientist. In short, the pendulum provides everything a science teacher could ask for in an instructional experiment.

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.
