Answer:

True

Explanation:

When the resting potential of the membrane is changed, the membrane becomes either more negative inside or less negative. This small deviation from the resting potential is called graded potential. A graded potential occurs when a stimulus triggers opening or closing of the mechanically gated  or ligand-gated channels present in the plasma membrane.

For example, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters in response to a nerve impulse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors present in the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic neuron and triggers the opening of the ion channels to allow the inflow of particular ions to flow. The flow of ions changes the voltage across the membrane. This change in membrane voltage is a postsynaptic potential and is a type of graded potential.

Which of the Earth’s subsystems is directly affected by burning fossil fuels?
gulaghasi [49]

The correct answer is option (d) atmosphere.

Fossil fuels are the hydrocarbons formed in the geological past, derived from the remains of dead plants and animals. They include the coal, fuel gas and the natural gas. The burning of fossil fuels is one of the greatest contributor of carbon dioxide being added to the atmosphere. This results in the pollution of air in the atmosphere resulting in the formation of smog. Carbon dioxide being a green house gas, affects the atmosphere and causes green house effect leading to global warming and climate changes.

The burning of fossil fuels affects the geosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere indirectly due to its primary direct effect on the atmosphere. Thus, atmosphere is directly affected by the burning of fossil fuels.

What do monosaccharides provide for cells?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

They are building blocks for larger polysaccharide which are important in structural rigidity of cells.

Polysaccharides such as Starch and Cellulose which are instrumental in cell structure and rigidity are formed from chains of monosaccharides.

They are also useful in the provision of energy which is used in cell functions (metabolism).

Monosaccharides such as Glucose, Sucrose are useful in provision of energy for physical and metabolic activities of the body.
