Answer;

-Cell

Explanation;

-The cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of living organisms, which can exist on its own. Therefore, it is sometimes called the building block of life. Cells make up the smallest level of a living organism such as human beings and other living things.

-The cellular level of an organism is where the metabolic processes occur that keep the organism alive. That is why the cell is called the fundamental unit of life. Some organisms, such as bacteria or yeast, are unicellular; consisting only of a single cell, while others, for instance, mammalians, are multicellular.

A postsynaptic potential is a graded potential that is the result of a neurotransmitter released into the synapse between two ne
Ksju [112]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When the resting potential of the membrane is changed, the membrane becomes either more negative inside or less negative. This small deviation from the resting potential is called graded potential. A graded potential occurs when a stimulus triggers opening or closing of the mechanically gated  or ligand-gated channels present in the plasma membrane.

For example, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters in response to a nerve impulse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors present in the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic neuron and triggers the opening of the ion channels to allow the inflow of particular ions to flow. The flow of ions changes the voltage across the membrane. This change in membrane voltage is a postsynaptic potential and is a type of graded potential.

From your choices, the three supports the Hardy- Weinberg equilibrim but letter C does not. There must be no new allele to be produced fro the mutation of the pea plant.</span>

A scientist decides to study the effect of salt on a particular type of bacteria. Arrange the steps of the scientific method in
Debora [2.8K]
The scientific method is a problem-solving approach used in Biology and other scientific disciplines. This method has five basic steps which help scientists test their hypotheses. The first step of the scientific method is to make an observation. In this particular example, the scientist observes probably that salt has chemical and physical properties which could affect the life cycle of bacteria. The second step would be to ask a question and that would be to ask whether salt indeed has any effect on that particular type of bacteria that he/she studies. The third step would be to form a hypothesis and that would be to state that the specific bacterial type will be strongly affected by the salt. The fourth step would be to predict that if the scientist exposed this bacterial type to a salty environment, the bacteria would not survive. The fifth and final step is to test this prediction and if the bacteria do not survive, then the scientist can conclude that salt affects this bacterial type.

Arlecino [84]

Answer: Annelida

Leeches are soft bodied segmented parasitic worms. They belong to the phylum Annelida. They are hermaphrodites which means they exhibit sex organs of both male and female.

The characteristics which are found in leeches which group them into Annelida are:

1. The body of the leeches are bilaterally symmetrical like other Annelids. The body organs are also segmented.

2. They have a closed circulatory system in which the heart pumps the blood to all the parts of the body.

3. Leeches either exhibit a protusible pharynx or proboscis which allows them to suck the blood of the host such features are also common in other Annelids.
