The term which describes the breaking down of body cells or substance is CATABOLISM.
The metabolic processes which occur in living things are of two types, these are anabolic and catabolic processes. The anabolic process involves the building up of needed materials in the body while the catabolic process involves the breaking down of waste materials in the body in order to eliminate them through excretion.

<span>catabolism This is a one part of metabolism, the other part is known as anabolism. Catabolism breaks down larger units into small ones , these can be amino acids, polysaccharides and even fatty units in the body. The products of the breakdown is either energy or another substantial end product for another process useful in the body</span>

Effectus [21]

Answer:

5. all of the above traits combined

Explanation:

Phylogeny has to do with the study of evolutionary relationships among living organisms based on the premise of the theory of organic evolution that states that all living organisms came from a common ancestor.

Phylogeny incorporates molecular, morphological, anatomical, biochemical and behavioural traits in order to arrive at a phylogenetic tree that represents ancestral lineages.

<em>Hence, the correct option is option 5. </em>

Describe the immediate effect of the neurotoxin on the number of action potentials in a postsynaptic neuron. Predict whether the
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Inhibit control over ions.

Explanation:

The immediate effect of the neurotoxin on the postsynaptic neuron is to inhibit control over ion concentrations across the cell membrane. The neurotoxin blocks nervous transmission at synapses which prevents the vesicles containing the neurotransmitter from fusing with the presynaptic membrane so the information does not transfer from one neuron to another and as a result the body is present at constant relaxation mode. The membrane potential of postsynaptic neuron will decrease due to neurotoxin.
