Answer:

Letter C

Explanation:

Action potentials are certainly a key to understand neuronal signaling, and to this day, neuroscientists are still developing specific models to try decipher how much information a bunch of neuronal spikes has to inform in distinct neurons.

Interestingly, throughout evolution action potentials have proven to be a very efficient mechanism of communication, and their most studied and most important attribute has been proved to be frequency, which is a property that depends on the source only, ie it does not change until you reach your destination. So, the right answer is Letter C.

Why is counting the release of oxygen bubbles a valid way to measure the rate of photosynthesis

Otrada [13]

Measuring photosynthesis via the production of oxygen. Oxygen can be measured by counting bubbles evolved from pondweed, or by using the Audus apparatus to measure the amount of gas evolved over a period of time.The emerging bubbles are either simply counted or they are recorded using light barriers, which is very difficult because of their small size and often varying ascent rate. The gas bubbles generated during photosynthesis by aquatic plants produce distinctive sound pulses when leaving the plants.

Clasificatoin of hormones

Zinaida [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Hormones are substances that administer the human body having several different and essential functions for the proper functioning of the body. There are several different types of hormones and they are classified into four groups called peptides, steroids, amines and eicosanoids.

Peptides are hormones that have 3-20 amino acids. Among these hormones we can mention insulin, glucagon and somatostatin.

Steroids are hormones produced from cholesterol. Among them we can mention Cortisol, Aldosterone and Testosterone.

Amine hormones are those that are released into the thyroid and adrenal glands. These hormones circulate freely in the blood. Among them are epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Eicosanoids are the hormones derived from arachidonate. Among them are the hormones called prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes.

Name which organelle you would expect to play the largest role in the decomposition of a human body. Why?

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Lysosomes

Explanation:

Death is a process that consists of different phases that lead to the decomposition of the body. One of the first phases, which occurs minutes after death, is the process known as autolysis, which begins once the cells are deprived of oxygen.

During autolysis, the body's enzymes begin to digest the membranes of the cells, breaking down the whole cells. This process is initiated by organelles known as lysosomes, which are in charge of releasing these enzymes that are involved in the 'digestion' of the human tissues.
