Answer:

I guess action potential is the correct one

Answer:

action potential

Explanation:

Transmission of a signal within a neuron (from dendrite to axon terminal) is carried by a brief reversal of the resting membrane potential called an action potential. When neurotransmitter molecules bind to receptors located on a neuron's dendrites, ion channels open.

Why are G-protein coupled receptors often known as 7TM receptors? A. They have 7 transmembrane β-pleated sheets. B. They have 7
Nataliya [291]

Answer: B

Explanation:

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven-(pass)-transmembrane domain receptors, 7TM receptors, heptahelical receptors, serpentine receptor, and G protein–linked receptors (GPLR),comprises of a large protein family of receptors that discover molecules outside the cell and initiate internal signal transduction pathways and, eventually, cellular responses. They are called seven-transmembrane receptors because they pass through the cell membrane seven times

19. If a scientist needs to use a large dataset to explore how corn grows in different soils, how would this data be classified?
Illusion [34]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The correct option is B- Qualitative.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

When the growth of corn has to be recorded, the quality of the corn grown in different soils needs to be recorded. Qualitative methods are best used to classify quality of anything.

Qualitative data basically is non-numerical data which in the case of corns can be the length of the corn plant, the sweetness of the corn kernel or the hardness or softness of the corn. This data cannot be recorded using numerical values and so other methods of data recording cannot be used.

The diagram shows the thermohaline circulation, also know as the ocean's conveyor belt.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The statement that is true about red currents in the thermohaline circulation is that  water in the red currents contain less salt (option A).

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is a concept used in oceanography, referring to the oceanic circulation that depends on factors such as surface heat and salinity, as well as the density gradient that they determine.

On a map, the different currents that are part of the thermohaline circulation are usually represented with blue and red lines, where:

  • <em>The blue lines represent deep, cold, dense and higher salinity currents.</em>
  • <em>The red lines represent surface currents, warm, with less salt content, so they are less dense.</em>

The red currents (see image) represented on the map have less salt content, compared to the currents represented in blue.

An undersupply of the major inhibitory neurotransmitter known as ________ is linked to seizures.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

Explanation:

Epileptic seizures are induced by a preponderance of electrical activity within the network of neurons in the brain. Synapsis is the meeting point between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron. Electrical signals don't cross through the synapsis, instead, they are conveyed in a chemical form by neurotransmitters.

The neurotransmitters convey messages across the synapsis in a chemical form until they find to the receptor of the dendrite of the receiving neuron. Neurotransmitters can either be excitatory or inhibitory in function i.e. the receiving neuron can either be stimulated to action or inhibited from action. The main excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain are Glutamate and Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) respectively.

There must be a balance between excitation and inhibition of neurons, in order to ascertain the optimal functioning of the brain. Too much Glutamate or too little of GABA can make neurons hyperexcitable and hyperexcitability of neurons makes the brain susceptible to seizures.

Which of the following descriptions explains the process of water freezing?
Olenka [21]

Answer: B. Water molecules slow down until they begin to bond together.

Explanation: When water is cooled, energy is removed from the system, and the molecules begin to slow down. When the  molecules have slowed suciently, their collisions are no longer energetic enough to overcome their electrostatic attraction, and  they begin to bond together. The other answer choices are inaccurate. Since ice is less dense than water, high pressure  compresses the ice and actually causes it to melt. (Compression has no effect on water volume.) Cooling has no effect on the  shape of individual water molecules.
