RESTING POTENTIAL Resting potential is the membrane potential when a neuron is not conducting any electrical impulse or signal. The resting potential is around -75 mV. During resting potential‚ the inside of the axon is negative GRADED POTENTIAL ACTION POTENTIAL Action potential is a fleeting reversal of the membrane potential‚ caused by changes in permeability of the plasma membrane of neuron to potassium and sodium ions causing an electrical impulse to be transmitted along the axon.

What is an action potential? To put it simply‚ it is a message that is sent down the nervous line. The message is written and is sent from the central nervous system. That message is addressed to muscles or glands. This essay will explain what happens before‚ during‚ and after an interneuron action potential. To accurately define an action potential‚ it is part of the incredible course of events that occur during the firing of a neuron. When a neuron is not firing signals‚ the interior of the

POTENTIAL ENERGY DIAGRAM In physics the terms of mechanical energy usually refers to Potential energy (U) and Kinetic Energy (K). In the absence of non-conservative‚ or dissipative forces‚ these energies obey the law of conservation of energy‚ or ΔU + ΔK = 0. That is‚ when a system is only acting under the influence of conservative forces its total energy content never changes‚ the energy just converts between forms. At any point in the cycle‚ the total energy is constant‚ U + K = Umax = Kmax

Gattaca challenges the wisdom allowing genetic potential determined from birth to decide the future of an individual? Genetic potential. What does this phrase mean to our society? Simply an aspect of the future to most‚ a mere scientific term that means nothing to some‚ or it could be a devastating reality for others. The film Gataca poses this question and seeks to find the truth behind genetic potential and how it is used to determining the future of an individual. Through the character of Vincent

POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF DISCRIMINATION. TASK 3: In looking at this task‚ we have already studied the first part of the topic at the beginning of the Unit. Forms of Discriminatory Practice exist‚ in the form of: Prejudice‚ Stereotyping‚ Labelling‚ Bullying‚ Abuse‚ Lack of choice‚ Infringement of Rights‚ and Covert/Overt abuse of Power. Do we accept that these forms of discrimination exist? What do you think……as maybe you do not agree? Discrimination can be understood as damaging the individual

PLANT GROWTH EXPERIMENT Numerous environmental variables influence plant growth. Three students each planted a seedling of the same genetic variety in the same type of container with equal amounts of soil from the same source. Their goal was to maximize their seedling’s growth by manipulating environmental conditions. Their data are shown below. Plant Seedling Mass (grams) Day 1 Day 30
