The strength of the an action potential would increase. This would happen because it would need twice as much energy before being produced.

Why is the water potential of distilled water higher than the water potential of the cytoplasm of the cell?

distilled contain no solute. so, its water potential is constantly 0. plant cell carry out photosynthesis continuously to produce sugar. thus, cytoplasm of plant cell always contain solute that lower the water potential of cytoplasm.


A species is composed of?

It depends if they are all in the same biome and area of the world or if they are just random animals in a species. It could also depend on what they eat as well as what animal kingdom they are from. What type of animals do you mean?


What is the difference between a compound action potential and a single action potential?

Single action potentials follow the "all or none" rule. That is, if a stimulus is strong enough to depolarize the membrane of the neuron to threshold (~55mV), then an action potential will be fired. Each stimulus that reaches threshold will produce an action potential that is equal in magnitude to every other action potential for the neuron. Compound action potentials do not exhibit this property since they are a bundle of neurons and have different magnitudes of AP's. Thus compound action potentials are graded. That is, the greater the stimulus, the greater the action potential.

What best definition of the law of conservation of energy?

Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. This energy is then used to rotate the turbine of a generator to produce electricity. In this process, the potential energy of water in a dam can be turned into kinetic energy which can then become electric energy.
