The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process.
<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>
<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>
B
Every living thing makes energy through respiration and plants use solar energy during respiration.
I will say Large piscivorous fish since i figure that it eats it.
Answer:
A and D
Explanation:
Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA that decodes mRNA (messenger RNA) into protein. This phenomenon is known as translation.
If the strain of mutant synthetase gene does not grow fast despite having growth characteristics, the following possibilities could happen:
- Sometimes histidine tRNA sends asparagine instead of histidine to other proteins where histidine residue should have been present for growth.
- The normal synthetase might be present but not in an adequate amount.
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the second choice.
<span>Land breeze blows during the night in coastal locations because sea gets heated up faster than land at night. </span>
