Answer:
Time is a very important variable in geology because the exact timing of spatially separated events allows us to reconstruct the surface and surface conditions of the ancient earth. Geologic time spans are considerably more difficult to comprehend than historical time spans because they are so incredibly long.
One reason is so that we can fully understand how geological processes that seem impossibly slow can produce anything of consequence. For example, we are familiar with the concept of driving from one major city to another: a journey of several hours at around 100 km/h. Continents move toward each other at rates of a fraction of a millimetre per day, or something in the order of 0.00000001 km/h, and yet, at this impossibly slow rate, they can move thousands of kilometres. Sediments typically accumulate at even slower rates — less than a millimetre per year — but still they are thick enough to be thrust up into monumental mountains and carved into breathtaking canyons.
Another reason is that for our survival on this planet, we need to understand issues like extinction of endangered species and anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change. Some people, who don’t understand geological time, are quick to say that the climate has changed in the past, and that what is happening now is no different. And it certainly has changed in the past. For example, from the Eocene (50 Ma) to the present day, Earth’s climate cooled by about 12°C. That’s a huge change that ranks up there with many of the important climate changes of the distant past, and yet the rate of change over that time was only 0.000024°C/century. Anthropogenic climate change has been 1.1°C over the past 100 years, and that is 45,800 times faster than the rate of natural climate change since the Eocene.

c. Lesser proportion of motor neurons to muscle fibres
d. Begin contractions with muscle already 50% contraction
e. Lower sarcoplasm pH
f. Increased stimulus frequency.
g. Circular arrangement of muscle fascicles
h. increased requirement.
Answer:
1. Weaker contraction:
a. Potassium accumulate in the sarcoplasm
d. Begin contractions with muscle already 50% contraction
e. Lower sarcoplasm pH
g. Circular arrangement of muscle fascicles
2. Stronger Contraction
b. Increase in muscle belly circumference
c. Lesser proportion of motor neurons to muscle fibres
f. Increased stimulus frequency.
h. increased requirement.
Explanation:
Sarcoplasm refers to the cytoplasm of muscle cells which contains ATP, enzymes, and a variety of ions, including potassium (K+). The negative potential required during muscle activity is produced from the disequilibrium of ionic concentrations (mostly Na+ and K+) across the membrane, which is generated through Na+/K+ ATPase pumps. During contraction, a muscle shortens, and thus its circumference increases. The generation of lactic acid is known to lower pH in the sarcoplasm and thus hinder the force and power development of the muscle fibers. Muscle fascicles can be arranged in concentric rings, it is a common pattern in sphincter muscles that modulate the opening and closing of orifices (which have weak contractions). A motor unit refers to a single efferent neuron and all of the muscle fibers it modulates. Each individual muscle fiber is innervated by one motor neuron, whereas a single motor neuron can innervate many muscle fibers. Finally, higher intensity/frequency are known to induce stronger muscular contractions, but also produce a stronger decline in force and cause more rapid muscle fatigue.

When curare, a neuromuscular poison, is dropped onto an isolated muscle-nerve preparation in a laboratory, the muscle does not contract when the nerve is stimulated, even though neurotransmitter is released from the nerve cell. Why does this happen
Answer:
Explanation:
Whenever the nerve terminal's action potential depolarizes, calcium enters the cell through the channels. Calcium allows acetylcholine (ACh) to be released more easily. These ACh molecules subsequently circulate into the synaptic cleft and attach to the motor end-plate of the nicotinic cholinergic receptors. Acetylcholine molecules connect to nicotine ion-channel receptors present on cell membrane the of muscle cells, enabling the ion channels to open. Calcium ions then enter the muscle cell, kicking off a series of events that eventually result in muscular contraction.
Curare is a kind of neuromuscular relaxant blocker that is non-depolarized in nature. Nondepolarizing muscle relaxants work as competitive agonists, binding to ACh receptors but failing to activate ion channels. As a result, they inhibit ACh from bonding, preventing the development of endplate potentials and inducing muscle paralysis.

a. An action potential reaches the axon terminal causing __________to open.
b. Acetylcholine diffuses across the synaptic cleft before binding to its receptor, which is located on the _____
c. When the membrane potential reaches ________an action potential spreads across the sarcolemma due to the opening of ___________
d. In response to acetylcholine binding, ________ move into the muscle fiber causing the membrane potential to rise.
Answer:
a). Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels
b). the motor end plate
c). Threshold, voltage-gated Na channels
d). sodium ions
Explanation:
a). The voltage-gated [tex]Ca^{2+}[/tex] channels are the key transducers of the membrane potential that changes into a intracellular [tex]Ca^{2+}[/tex] transients which initiates the physiological events. When the action potential makes a contact with axon terminal, the voltage-gated [tex]Ca^{2+}[/tex] channels opens.
b). The acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system. It helps in blood vessels dilation, muscle contraction, and perform many more functions.
It diffuses with the synaptic cleft that is located on the motor end plate of the nervous system.
c). The membrane potential is also known as the membrane voltage or the transmembrane potential. When it recaches the threshold, the voltage-gated Na channels opens to spread the action potential across sarcolemma.
d). The sodium ions in case of acetylcholine binding moves to the muscle fiber due to which the membrane potential rises.
Primary sensory afferent axons have widely varying diameters, and their size correlates with the type of receptor to which they are attached. Write down the axons that are the smallest and the slowest?
Answer:
Smaller and slower axons are those related to temperature, itching and pain.
Explanation:
As you may already know, the axon is an extension of the neuron that has the ability to transmit signals to cells, indicating the nerve impulse that must be felt by the body. In other words, the axons receive a synapse, which is the nerve impulse, and pass this message on to a nerve cell to turn it into a sensation. These axons have varying diameters and the speed at which they transmit messages also varies. According to researches, the smaller and slower axons are those related to the sensation of temperature, itching and pain.

4. With membrane potentials approaching +35 mV, the _________channels become fully activated.
a. Sodium
b. Voltage regulate sodium
c. Potassium
d. Rises towards zero
e. Hyperpolarization
f. Voltage regulated potassium
Answer:
1. Potassium
2. increasing towards zero
3. hyperpolarization
4. voltage-regulated Potassium
Explanation:
Membrane potential can be defined as the difference in electric charges inside and outside of a cell. The resting membrane potential (RMP) occurs when there is no net current across the membrane and therefore the cell is in a non-excited state. At the RMP, sodium ions (Na+) are more concentrated inside the extracellular fluid (ECF) than inside the intracellular fluid (ICF), while potassium ions (K+) are more concentrated inside the ICF. The diffusion of K+ outside the cell triggers its hyperpolarization, by becoming the membrane potential more negative compared to the resting potential. As the potential nears +35 mV, the voltage-regulated potassium channels are open, thereby K+ ions leave the cell down its concentration gradient, while voltage-gated Na+ channels become saturated and inactivate.
In a Nitrogen metabolism study, the following data were obtained over the test period:
Nitrogen consumed 175 grams
Total Fecal N 35 grams
Metabolic Fecal N 10 grams
Total Urinary N 80 grams
Endogenous Urinary N 10 grams
Calculate:
a. Apparent Nitrogen digestibility (%)
b. True Nitrogen digestibility (%)
c. Nitrogen Balance (g)
d. Apparent Nitrogen Retention (%)
Answer:
a. 80%
b. 86%
c. 60 g
d. 34.29%
Explanation:
From the given information:
The apparent nitrogen digestibility (AD) is the ratio of the difference between the consumed nitrogen and fecal nitrogen to the consumed nitrogen.
Mathematically:
[tex]AD = \dfrac{consumed \ nitrogen - fecal \ nitrogen }{consumed \ nitrogen }[/tex]
[tex]AD = \dfrac{175 -35 }{175}[/tex]
AD = 0.8
To percentage, the apparent Nitrogen digestibility = 80%
b. True Nitrogen digestibility is calculated by the formula:
[tex]=\dfrac{consumed \ nitrogen - (fecal \ nitrogen -metabolic \ fecal)}{consumed \ nitrogen}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{175 -(35-10)}{175}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{175 -25}{175}[/tex]
= 0.86
= 86%
c. Nitrogen Balance = consumed Nitrogen - Fecal nitrogen - total uninary
Nitrogen Balance = (175 - 35 - 80) grams
Nitrogen Balance = 60 g
d. Apparent Nitrogen Retention (ANR) is computed as follows:
[tex]ANR = \dfrac{(consumed \ nitrogen-fecal\ nitrogen - total \ uninary )}{nitrogen \consumed }\times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]ANR = \dfrac{(175-35- 80 )}{175 }\times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]ANR = \dfrac{(60 )}{175 }\times 100\%[/tex]
ANR = 34.29%
