It is a theory that explains biological evolution. It is not a social prescription for how we humans ought to live.

What did Charles Darwins father die from?

Charles Darwin's father, Robert Darwin, died from unknown causes at the age of 69 in 1848. There is no definitive record of the precise cause of his death.


How do you calculate water potential in a given system?

To calculate water potential in a system, you add the pressure potential and solute potential. Pressure potential is the physical pressure exerted on the water, while solute potential is influenced by the concentration of solutes in the water. The formula for water potential is p s.


How can one determine the water potential of a substance?

To determine the water potential of a substance, one can use the formula: water potential pressure potential solute potential. Pressure potential is the physical pressure exerted on the water, while solute potential is the effect of solutes dissolved in the water. By calculating these two components, one can determine the overall water potential of a substance.


What is water potential gradient?

similar to potential energy, water flows down a gradient from higher potential to lower potential. Higher potential is generally in the soil/roots and lower potential is at the leaves/atmosphere. The water has potential to flow down the gradient


What is synaptic potential?

A synaptic potential is a change in the electrical potential of a neuron in response to the release of neurotransmitters at a synapse. It can be either excitatory, causing depolarization and promoting action potential firing, or inhibitory, causing hyperpolarization and reducing the likelihood of action potential firing. These changes in potential are essential for communication between neurons in the brain.
