When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond different

ly to different faces. For example, Arthur's face causes three neurons to fire, with neuron one responding the most and neuron three responding the least. Roger's face causes the same three neurons to fire, with neuron one responding the least and neuron three responding the most. Your results support coding. Group of answer choices
1. specificity
2. population
3. convergence
4. divergence

Answer: Divergence

Explanation:

One postsynaptic cell has the ability to receive the input from large number of different presynpatic cells and the divergent neurons can have connections with different postsynaptic cells.

The divergence in the neurons allows one neurons to have communication with the other neurons within a network.

The divergence neurons can communicate with any of the neurons (output) in the network.

When a bacterial cell is present in an environment where both lactose and glucose are present, the glucose will be metabolized f
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Option (A).

Explanation:

Lac operon system in bacteria explains the lactose metabolism in the cell. The first operon system was discovered by Jacob and Monod. Operon may be defined as the cluster of genes that are transcribed as a single RNA unit.

The bacteria uses glucose if glucose and lactose are present in the media. The bacterial cell can recognize the glucose presence as CAP-cAMP complex are required for the process of transcription and the complex level is low in the presence of glucose. This way bacteria turns off transcription for lactose genes even when the lactose is present.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

A student measured the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolved in an aquarium containing an aquatic plant and a snail. Why
ratelena [41]

The answer is A. Putting the aquarium in the dark means that the aquatic plants will not be able to photosynthesize.  The process of photosynthesis produces oxygen as a by-product. The oxygen is used by the fishes in respiration and release carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is used by the aquatic plants in photosynthesis.

With the endosymbiotic hypothesis in mind, what structure within modern-day chloroplasts is likely derived from the cytoplasm of
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The chloroplasts had inner membrane

Explanation:

The primitive photoautotrophs utilized hydrogen sulphide as the electron donor to perform photosynthesis for energy production.  

Later upon understanding the endosymbiotic relationship of cyanobacteria which resided in the mitochondria of a eukaryotic host cell, the use of chloroplasts for photosynthesis was understood.  

Generations after generations led to the development of chloroplasts by the cyanobacteria due to this symbiotic relationships which developed into the chloroplasts.

The unique presence of the inner membrane and its components like the stroma, thyllakoids helped the organism to utilize water as the electron donor for photosynthesis like the present day eukaryotes. This is the main reason why cyanobacteria is considered as the ancestor for eukaryotes.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The term secretion refers to the cell that releases a substance into the extracellular space.

Explanation:

When a cell or organ or gland produce and secretes substance in to extracellular space,this biochemical process is called as secretion.

The secretory products may be hormone, enzymes etc.

This process facilitates the movement of material from one place to another place.

For example, Pituitary gland produce and release prolactin hormone that induces breast cells to produce lactation during sucking process done by baby.

Pituitary gland also secrete different hormones that acts on different glands like adrenal, testes, ovary, thyroid gland etc that in turn produce different hormones like adrenaline,testosterone,estrogen,progesterone, TSH,T3, hormone etc.

Rosa eats a peanut butter sandwich for lunch. Peanut butter contains a lot of protein, and bread is mostly starch. Rosa plans to
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

<em><u>What does she need from the food she ate and the air she breathes so that she can go on her run? </u></em>

A. Rosa needs carbohydrates rich food (bread) to carry out her jogging activity. Protein-rich food before exercise is not recommended unless she is on a weight loss program (diet plan).

B. Rosa needs oxygen to perform aerobic respiration, which is required for maximum release of energy (36 molecules per reaction run). Anaerobic reactions yield less energy (2 molecules of ATP per reaction run) and are not recommended.

<em><u>How do Rosa's body systems work together to get the molecules she needs into her cells?</u></em>

Rosa's body cells need carbohydrates (glucose) and oxygen to perform aerobic respiration for the release of maximum energy. The glucose and oxygen molecules are provided to the cells via diffusion into the bloodstream. During exercise/jogging, complex molecules of carbohydrates such as starch (present in bread) are broken down into simple molecules (glucose) which are diffused into the blood. Likewise, a high amount of oxygen is provided to the body's cells via diffusion in blood, which is carried out by the faster movement of lungs and heart. The combined action results in the supply of both types of molecules to enter the cell where mitochondria use these substrates to produce energy molecules (ATPs).

<em><u>How do hair cells use these molecules to release energy for her body to run?</u></em>

The substrates (glucose and oxygen) enters the bloodstream and then taken up to the cell. Then they are provided to the mitochondria for the release of energy in the form of ATP. This is why mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cells. Within the cell, energy is released in a three-step process, i.e. glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Here glucose reacts with oxygen. In the end, aerobic respiration per reaction run produces 36 molecules of ATP which are sufficient to meet intensive energy needs. During excrcise, the supply of oxygen and glucose is also faster due to faster lungs and heart actions.

PS: Anaerobic respiration cannot meet energy demands faster because the reaction produces only 2 ATP molecules per reaction run.
