Some people have low levels of calcium circulating in the blood, a condition known as hypocalcemia. while for many this disorder has little to no effect, for some it can be life-threatening. how could low levels of calcium harm an individual? low levels of calcium would not have any effect on synaptic transmission. low levels of calcium would result in fewer signals sent between the pre- and postsynaptic cell. low levels of calcium would cause sustained depolarization of the presynaptic cell.

low level of calcium would result in fewer signals sent between pre and post synaptic cells.

Explanation:

The calcium has a main role in signal transmission mechanism and here is the mechanism :

1-the impulse reaches the synapse (depolarization which is a voltage change).

2-the voltage gated calcium channels open and let calcium flow into the cell.

3-the calcium causes the synaptic vesicles to rupture and release chemical transmitters which cross the synaptic cleft and finally bind to receptors on the post synaptic cell (transmitting the signal)

so it's obvious that if calcium concentration decreases, the signal transmission also decreases.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
