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.

Alexeev081 [22]

The answer is they produce endospores.

Explanation:

The endospores are dormant, non-reproductive, tough bacterial spores that ensure the survival of bacteria in adverse conditions.

During the environmental stress, such as starvation, desiccation, radiation and chemical treatment many bacteria form dormant endospores. These endospores germinate again when the conditions become favorable.

Hence, if drought conditions lead the stream to dry up, the bacteria that live there would produce endospores to survive.
