Summary Introduction

To determine: The minimum number of neurons required in the simplest reflex.

Introduction: A reflex action is a fast movement of a body part in response to the stimulus. There are various types of reflexes. Simplex reflex is the most basic type of reflex.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The minimum number of synapse required in the simplest reflex.

Introduction: Synapse is defined as the gap between the nerve endings of the two neurons. The signals are transferred from one neuron to the other through these synapses which release neurotransmitters.

Summary Introduction

To determine: An example of the simplest reflex.

Introduction: The reflex is an instant and involuntary movement of a body part that occurs in response to the stimulus. There are various types of reflexes. Simplex reflex is the most basic type of reflex.

Explain down bellow what happens to the cell in pictures not in words: Decreased pH in mitochondria Increased ATP Decreased pH in cytosol Increased hydrolysis Decreasing glycogen and triglycerides Increased MAP kinase activity Poor ion transport → For each one:→ What normally happens?→ What is wrong now?→ How does it mess up the cell?
1.) Community Diversity: The brown and orange line represent two different plant communities. a. Which color represents the community with a higher species richness? b. Which color represents the community with a higher species evenness? Relative abundance 0.1 0.04 0.001 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 Rank abundance c. What is the maximum value of the Simpson's diversity index (remember, Simpson's index is D = p², Simpson's diversity index is 1-D)? d. If the Simpson's diversity index equals 1, what does that mean about the number of species and their relative abundance within community being assessed?
