Even though mr. t's baroreceptor reflex responded to his decreased blood pressure, it did not succeed in raising his blood pressure high enough to prevent him from passing out. why not? (hint: remember, this client has a spinal injury that has blocked communication between the brain and the lower half of his body.)

The “ecological footprint” left by a citizen of a developed nation is about four times larger than that left by a citizen of a developing nation. why is this the case?

To store strawberries in sugar syrup, lucy placed them in a jar and covered them with sugar but did not add any water. do you think syrup will be formed? justify. a. no. since water is not added, there cannot be any syrup formation. b. no. the higher concentration of sugar on the outside will cause the water from the sugar to diffuse in the strawberry cells causing them to swell without formation of any syrup. c. yes. the higher concentration of sugar on the outside will cause the water from the strawberry to diffuse out resulting in syrup formation. d. yes. the sugar will melt over time and form the syrup.

Choose the incorrect statement (a) the motor end plate membrane is only capable of generating graded potentials, but it is contiguous with the skeletal muscle sarcolemma, which can generate action potentials. (b) propagation of an action potential through the t-tubules into the sarcoplasmic reticulum triggers the release of ca++ into the cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle fiber. (c) the generation of suprathreshold endplate potentials in multiple muscle fibers could be due to the increased frequency of action potential generation at the axon hillock of a single motor neuron. (d) a greater amount of ach would be found in the presynaptic vesicles of a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to botulinum toxin, than in a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to the venom of the krait snake (which contains α-bungarotoxin).
