Answer:
False
"The energy contained in the food we eat is used to synthesize the energy that directly powers all of our cellular activities".
Explanation:
The food we eat undoubtedly contains energy. This energy is stored in the bonds of the molecules that make up the food. However, the food undergoes the process of digestion to yield glucose (a sugar). This glucose sugar is used in the process of CELLULAR RESPIRATION to synthesize a form of chemical energy usable by cells called ATP.
ATP or Adenosine triphosphate is a molecule that stores chemical energy in living cells. It is the molecule that directly powers all of our cellular activities. Hence, the statement in this question is FALSE. The correct statement should be "The energy contained in the food we eat is used to synthesize the energy that directly powers all of our cellular activities".
Answer:
Depending on the stimulus, graded potentials can be depolarizing or hyperpolarizing. Action potentials always lead to depolarization of membrane and reversal of the membrane potential. Amplitude is proportional to the strength of the stimulus. ... Duration of graded potentials may be a few milliseconds to seconds.
Explanation:
<h2>Sodium channels </h2>
Explanation:
Depolarization is a result of sodium channels opening as a result of chemical or pressure-based stimuli
- Depolarization starts when a threshold stimulus applied on a neuron via Na+ mechanically operated channels that trigger action potential
- Action potential is an efficient signaling process by which distantly located cells communicate to each other
- Depolarization of membrane potential is due to influx of Na+ via voltage gated Na+ channels
- Fast opening of voltage gated Na+ channel shifts membrane potential from -70mV to + 50mV at which voltage gated Na+ channels become inactive thus influx of Na+ abruptly stops
we would all die becuase there would be no oxogen that plants produce and no carbon that we exhale.
Answer:
Reproductive isolation refers to the inability of an organism or species to breed successfully with other organism or species.
It may arise from various factors such as:
- Geographical isolation such as river, mountain, etc
- Behavioral changes such as mating time or season, mating rituals, mating location etc.
- Physiological differences such as change in shape of sex organs which causes lack of fit between copulatory organs.
- Genetic differences.
Reproductive and geographical isolations between two populations (of same species) inhibit the flow of genes among them. Slowly, these isolations increase the variations in the gene pools of the two populations.
These genetic variations keep on increasing with time. In addition, as an adaptation to their surrounding or habitat the two populations would develop different behavioral and physiological changes
With time, these differences will increase up to such an extent that the two populations would not be able breed with each other. Hence, it would lead to the evolution of one or both the populations into new species.
