Why is it important for action potentials to only be conducted in one direction? why is it important for action potentials to only be conducted in one direction? a. the brief refractory period prevents reopening of voltage-gated na+ channels. b. if the signal were transmitted in both directions, it would not be as efficient at transmitting information to the brain. c. voltage-gated channels for both na+ and k+ open in only one direction. d. the axon hillock has a higher membrane potential than the terminals of the axon?

Which of the following are the functions of the skeletal system? blood cell production in soft marrow tissues and mineral reserves largest organ of the body for defense and support vitamin d production and pumping blood through vessels voluntary movement and contractile movement

The construction of phylogenetic trees is a mapping out the proposed divisions and common ancestors of all living species. traditionally, these trees have been built using morphological data, such as appearance and embryology. recently, it has been possible to construct these trees using molecular data. phylogenetic trees based on different types of information agree with each: that there is strong evidence of a real underlying common descent. this phylogenic tree is composed based on molecular data (rrna). what statements can we infer are true about the organisms throughout the tree? because the tree is rooted, all branches share a common ancestor. all organisms have some sort of cellular structure/organization. all eukaryotes evolved from bacteria. since the organisms contain rna, they share the same dna. if the organisms contain rna, the share the same four nitrogen bases.

The sketch shows a rynchosaur, an extinct animal that is known only from fossils. there has been much debate about the classification of these creatures. some scientists suggest that they belong with primitive amphibians, and some think they are related to snakes and lizards.the data equally support both cases. which statement best explains how to draw a cladogram that includes the rynchosaur? draw the cladogram for amphibians. draw the cladogram for reptiles. draw two cladograms, both showing the traits, and leave it as a hypothesis. draw two cladograms, both showing the traits, and have scientists vote
