The correct option is C.
Deforestation is the process by which forests are destroyed; it involves the conversion of a forest area to a non forest environment. Deforestation usually leads to the destruction of the habitats of the animals which are living in the destroyed forests.<span />

3.The reduced potential causes hundreds of a)________________________ channels to open on that part of the cell membrane. The de
wlad13 [49]

The reduced potential causes hundreds of <u>voltage-gated sodium</u> channels  to open on that part of the cell membrane. The depolarization of the cell causes more of <u>voltage-gated sodium </u>channels to open in adjacent parts of the cell membrane. This begins the wave of of <u>depolarization</u>  moving down the axon. Depolarization begins at the <u>axon hillock.</u>

Explanation:

When there is no neuron signaling it becomes polarized, termed as resting membrane potential (RMP) at a threshold voltage (around -55 mV), due to the action of the sodium-potassium pump and the potassium leak channels.  

When a change in the RMP occurs, depolarization takes place which causes the voltage-gated sodium channels to open and sodium ions rush into the nerve cell which in turn will increase the voltage threshold to nearly around +40 mV and also charges the neuron positive. This depolarization moves down the axon. This increase in threshold stops the sodium influx and opens the potassium channels to rush the potassium out of the cell.

All these actions decrease the membrane potential leading to a wave of depolarization and going back to resting state. Depolarization begins depending upon the potential gradient at the axon hillock.

In "simple columnar epithelium," which word describes cell shape and which word describes the number of cell layers?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:columnar describes cell shape.

Simple describe the number of layers

Explanation: epithelial tissues are one of the four major tissues of the body.the others being nervous, muscular, connective tissues.

Epithelial tissues are made up of thin cells that cover the external and internal surface of the body.

The cells may form one layer or more and they occur in several shapes.if they form one layer ,it is called simple.if they form several layers,it is called stratified.

Some are called pseudo-stratified because the cells occur with varying lengths and give the impression of stratified but they are actually made up of one layer.

Simple columnar epithelium is a single layer of tall, closely packed cells. They possess cellular extensions ,such as microvilli in the small intestine, or the cilia in the female reproductive tract.

Which of the following is continually passed from one enzyme to the next during the Electron Transport Chain?
AVprozaik [17]

The correct answer is electrons.  

Electron transport chain refers to an array of complexes, which mediates electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors through redox reactions, and combines the transfer of electrons with the transfer of protons through a membrane.  

This produces an electrochemical proton gradient, which instigates the production of ATP. The ultimate electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is oxygen in aerobic respiration and sulfate in anaerobic respiration.
