This is the threshold required to complete an action potential
c)
This is the resting charge of a neuron
d)
This is the charge when all the sodium is inside the cell
148.

The action potential triggers voltage gated calcium channels to open at the axon terminal. The influx of calcium causes the synaptic vesicles to fuse with the membrane and exocytose their neurotransmitters into the cleft. The neurotransmitters diffuse across the cleft and fuse with receptor gated ion channels creating a new action potential when ions rush in, depolarizing the membrane. Which transport at the synapse is active transport?

a)

voltage gated calcium channels

b)

exocytosis

c)

diffusion

d)

receptor gated ion channels

Population ecologists are primarily interested in 
a)
understanding how biotic and abiotic factors influence
the density, distribution, size, and age structure of populations.
b)
the overall vitality of a population of organisms.
c)
how humans affect the size of wild populations of organisms
d)
studying interactions among populations of organisms that inhabit the same area.
151.
A population of deer grows from 100 to 200 to 600, and when it gets to 600, it levels off. This population must have reached
a)
exponential growth.
b)
carrying capacity
c)
logistic growth
d)
exponential capacity
