Best Answer: Electricity is measured in volts, amps and watts. Volts measure the âpressureâ under which electricity flows. Amps measure the amount of electric current. Watts, named to honor the inventor of the steam engine, James Watt, measure the amount of work done by a certain amount of current under a certain pressure. One watt is a very small amount of power. On average, a typical household incandescent light bulb uses 40 to 100 watts.
Pilobolus is a genus of fungi that commonly grows on herbivore dung. The life cycle of Pilobolus begins with a black sporangium that has been discharged onto a plant substrate such as grass. A herbivorous animal such as a horse then eats the substrate, unknowingly consuming the sporangium as well.
Pilocarpine is a muscarinic receptor agonist and increases the activity of acetylcholine released by the parasympathetic nervous system thus slowing the heart rate (Silverthorn, 2009). Atropine on the other hand is a muscarinic receptor antagonist and competes with acetylcholine for binding on the receptors which means it blocks acetylcholine released by the parasympathic system and allows the heart rate to increase (Silverthorn, 2009).
