The oceans and the atmosphere serves as a long-term storage area for water or nutrients.
Answer:
When a neuron fires and its electric charge travels down the axon, causing neurotransmitters to be released by the neuron's terminal buttons, an <u>action potential</u> occurs.
Explanation:
An action potential, commonly termed as impulse, can be described as messages which are transferred in electrical form. Action potential are caused due to different electric charges. An action potential is generated by a stimulus which causes transfer of sodium ions into the axons resulting in depolarization of the neuron. To overcome this, potassium ion will enter the cell and an action potential will be generated.
The action potential causes release of the neurotransmitters so that signal messages could be transferred.
Answer:
Organism in a lichen that provides protection - algae
Organism in a lichen that provides nutrients through photosynthesis - algae
Branched growth form of lichen - fruticose
Leafy growth form of lichen - foliose
Small and flat growth form of lichen - crustose
Explanation:
<em>Lichens are composite organisms that are formed from symbiotic relationships between fungi and cyanobacteria/algae. The Green algae layer offers food to the fungi by photosynthesis while the latter supplies nutrients and offers protection to the algal component. </em>
There are different types of lichen based on the growth structure:
Fruticose lichens grow upright and shrubby and posses either round or flat branches.
Foliose lichen appears like a leaf with upper and lower layers. They are usually flat or convoluted in nature.
Crustose lichens are small in appearance with flat, crusty growth on surfaces on which they grow.
Answer: the graph supports: background extinctions, mass extinctions affected the evolution of mammals and dinosaurs
The graph does not support:both mammas and dinosaur revolved in the pattern of gradualism, dinosaurs evolved by adaptive radiation, and convolution affected the evolution of mammals and dinosaurs
Explanation:The graph only shows mass extinctions and background extinctions
