Reuptake refers to the REABSORPTION of excess neurotransmitter molecules by a sending neuron (Option b).

Reuptake is the mechanism by which cells reabsorb chemical messengers produced and secreted by them. In nerve terminals, reuptake is used to reabsorb released neurotransmitters.

The reuptake mechanism is exploited in therapeutics for the development of target drugs and treatments.

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that acts to stabilize different emotions such as mood, feelings of well-being, appetite and happiness.

For example, serotonin reuptake inhibitors which are capable of blocking the reuptake of serotonin to modulate serotonin brain levels have recently been developed.

Difference between kilogram and kilometre in points

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Kilogram(kg) is the SI unit for mass while kilometre(km) is a unit for length. They are both similar in that they are 10^3 of a unit, thus kilo. As kilogram represents mass, it is a measure of how much matter is present in an object. While kilometre is a measure of distance/how long or short an object is.

A hydraulic system for a dentist's chair is designed to be able to lift 3,112 newtons. The surface area over which this force is

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

13.8 N

Explanation:

Pressure on the one end of the hydraulic system = Pressure on the other end

Pressure = Force / Area where Force is in Newton, area is in m²

so Force of one end (F1) / area of that end = force of the other end (F2) / area of that end

3112 / ( 707 /10000) in m² = F2 / ( 3.14 / 10000) in m²

cross multiply

44016.97 × 0.000314 = 13.82 N

A rough estimate of the radius of a nucleus is provided by the formula r 5 kA1/3, where k is approximately 1.3 × 10213 cm and A

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Density of 127 I = $\rm 1.79\times 10^{14}\ g/cm^3.$

Also, $\rm Density\ of\ ^{127}I=3.63\times 10^{13}\times Density\ of\ the\ solid\ iodine.$

Explanation:

Given, the radius of a nucleus is given as

$\rm r=kA^{1/3}$ .

where,

$\rm k = 1.3\times 10^{-13} cm.$

A is the mass number of the nucleus.

The density of the nucleus is defined as the mass of the nucleus M per unit volume V.

$\rm \rho = \dfrac{M}{V}=\dfrac{M}{\dfrac 43 \pi r^3}=\dfrac{M}{\dfrac 43 \pi (kA^{1/3})^3}=\dfrac{M}{\dfrac 43 \pi k^3A}.$

For the nucleus 127 I,

Mass, M = $\rm 2.1\times 10^{-22}\ g.$

Mass number, A = 127.

Therefore, the density of the 127 I nucleus is given by

$\rm \rho = \dfrac{2.1\times 10^{-22}\ g}{\dfrac 43 \times \pi \times (1.3\times 10^{-13})^3\times 127}=1.79\times 10^{14}\ g/cm^3.$

On comparing with the density of the solid iodine,

$\rm \dfrac{Density\ of\ ^{127}I}{Density\ of\ the\ solid\ iodine}=\dfrac{1.79\times 10^{14}\ g/cm^3}{4.93\ g/cm^3}=3.63\times 10^{13}.\\\\\Rightarrow Density\ of\ ^{127}I=3.63\times 10^{13}\times Density\ of\ the\ solid\ iodine.$
