Is conducting stimulus strong enough to generate a nerve impulse?

It depends on the strength of the stimulus. A threshold voltage has to be reached before the nerve can be stimulated.

Minimum level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse?
An action potential needs to occur to trigger the neurons but the action potential depends on whether a stimulus is able to bring the membrane potential to a certain level termed the THRESHOLD. This threshold is about -55 mV for most neurons, but the stimulus needs to bring the membrane potential to this certain level or it will not be triggered. Relating to the ALL-OR-NONE PRINCIPLE, which if the threshold is not acquired then an action potential will not occur but once a stimulus is strong enough to depolarize (making the inside of the cell less negative going from -70 mV to -55 mV) it will trigger. The resting potential is -70 mV which the stimulus needs to bring it up to -55mV.
When a stimulus is sufficiently great enough to change the membrane potential and propagate an action potential it is called?

Do all organisms respond to stimuli?
Any organism that has intact nerve cells or a functioning nervous system will respond to stimuli. Organisms respond to changes in temperature, pressure, or chemical composition of its' external or internal environment. A stimulus has to be strong enough to initiate an impulse, called a threshold stimulus.
Strong stimuli cause the amplitude of action potentials generated to increase?
Yes. ....Up to a point. There is a threshold the stimulus must surpass before creating a CAP (compound action potential). Anything below this threshold is called subthreshold. Once the stimulus is strong enough cause a CAP it is a stimulus threshold. At this point the CAP will continue to increase as the intensity of the stimulus increases (now termed suprathreshold) until a maximal stimulus causes a maximum response. Any stimulus stronger than the maximal stimulus is called a supramaximal and does not result in any larger a CAP than the maximum response caused by the maximal stimulus. source: http://www.unmc.edu/physiology/Mann/mann12.html
How an impulse can continue to travel along a nerve pathway when there's a gap between two neurons?
Nerve pathways are slim, however neurones are small in size therefore the total amount of atoms in the impulse is enough to fit through a gap in the pathway of neurons

Why your mossberg does not feed and eject low power ammo?
The ammo does not generate enough gas to operate the action.
Why is there a voltage drop across a load but not conducting wires?
as the resistance/impedance of the the conducting wire is so small as compared to the load, there is a very low voltage drop across the conducting wires. keep the Ohm's law in mind i.e. V=IR <><><> Agree- but making the conducting wires LONG enough, and there will be enough resistance for a voltage drop.
Transmission of an impulse between neurons depends primarily on?
The transmission between neurons depends on the number of neurotransmitters that are present. If there aren't enough transmitters, the impulse is not passed into the second neuron, meaning it's cut down. If there are enough, it leads to an action potential (nerve impulse) in the second neuron. The nerve system is a rather confusing, and very technical, system in the body.
Do you have to enter stimulus earnings on tax return?
no. Stimulus payments are not taxable. However there are situations where you might not of gotten enough of a stimulus payment. Therefore you would be qualified for a "Rebate Recovery Credit" with your 08 tax return. Therefore give your tax preparer how much you got for a stimulus payment. You can also find the exact amount at IRS.GOV

What conductor injured himself while conducting?
Jean Baptiste Lully injured his foot badly enough while conducting that it became infected but did not choose to amputate so he later died from infection.
How much heat will the Tucker Clip Task Lighting generate, are they safe to use on books?
They do not generate enough heat to burn a book if cliped on and the bulb not close.
