How does the reproductive potential of bacteria affect illnesses caused by bacteria?
by the short generation time results in many bacteria in a short period of time.
How does the steepness of a slope and ground moisture affect landslide potential?
it can slip
Which kind of mutation has the greater potential to affect the evolution of a population a mutation to a body cell or a mutation in an egg cell?
Mutations that occur during gametogenesis (formation of egg and sperm) are called germ-line mutations. They are more significant than somatic mutations (which occur in body cells) because they can be transmitted to the next generation whereas somatic mutations are not transmitted to the next generation.
What affect does lowering extracellular calcium have on the resting membrane potential of a neuron?
Low calcium levels in the extracellular fluid increase the permeability of neuronal membranes to sodium ions, causing a progressive depolarization, which increases the possibility of action potentials. These action potentials may be spontaneously generated, causing contraction of skeletal muscles (tetany).
How would a mutation affect the next generation?
If the mutation were in the gametes. Male and female reproductive cells.
How did increasing the stimulus voltage in the simulation affect the action potential?
Increasing the stimulus voltage in the simulation affect action potential mainly because increasing the current will automatically increase the voltage.
How does the reproductive potential of bacteria affect illnesses caused by bacteria?
by the short generation time results in many bacteria in a short period of time.
How does the myelin sheath affect the speed of action potential?
Myelin sheath does several things that affect the speed of an action potential.It acts as an insulator around a neuron axon, thereby focusing the propagation of the action potential along the axis of the axon.The action potential "leaps" from one node of Ranvier (the node in between two myelinated segments) to the next, and to the next, and to the next, and so on, faster than the action potential can propagate as a wave along an unmyelinated axon of the same diameter.The regions along a myelinated axon depolarize locally and successively, thus allowing an action potential to travel along an axon using less energy, which in turn allows the neuron to repolarize more quickly, and thus be ready to conduct the next action potential sooner, thereby increasing the overall speed of information transmission.
How does botulism toxin affect the neuromuscular junction?
It affects the axon terminal, by blocking the release of acetylcholine , thus preventing an action potential from occurring.

How does an object affect the height of the object?
Directly. The greater the potential fall, the greater the potential energy.
How does mass and height affect potential energy?
Increased mass and/or height increase potential energy.
Which does not affect the gravitational potential energy of an object?
speed
What sensory organs does HIV affect?
HIV, if untreated, has the potential to affect all body organs.
Do heart attacks skip a generation?
While gallbladder disease may have genetic components, it does not keep track of the last generation affected. It can "skip" a generation or affect the children of affected patients.
Why does pH affect enzyme action?
yeh it can
How does alcohol affect cells?
It slows their action.
