An ion channel in the membrane of neurons which <u>open or close</u> in response to a neurotransmitter that binds to its receptor is called:  ligand-gated channel.

<h3>What is an action potential?</h3>

An action potential can be defined as a sudden, fast change in electrical (voltage) potential with respect to the transmission of an impulse to a receptor, across a cellular membrane such as:

  • A nerve cell
  • A muscle cell

<h3>What is a neuron?</h3>

A neuron is a nerve cell that is saddled with the responsibility of transmitting electrical impulses down an axon across a cellular membrane of the body of a living organism through an action potential.

In Science, a ligand-gated channel is a type of ion channel in the membrane of neurons which <u>open or close</u> in response to a neurotransmitter that binds to its receptor.

The correct option is A.
The use of antibacterial drugs can cause modifications in the genetic material of the concerned bacteria. If the genetic material of the bacteria are modify, that means they have undergone mutation. Because the base sequence of the normal and that of the mutated gene is different, antibiotic will not be able to recognize the bacteria again and thus will not be able to attack it.

Where are the different levels of the atmosphere located?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Troposphere

The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region.

Stratosphere

The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.

Mesosphere

The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85 kilometers (53 miles) high. Meteors burn up in this layer

Thermosphere

The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.

Ionosphere

The ionosphere is an abundant layer of electrons and ionized atoms and molecules that stretches from about 48 kilometers (30 miles) above the surface to the edge of space at about 965 km (600 mi), overlapping into the mesosphere and thermosphere. This dynamic region grows and shrinks based on solar conditions and divides further into the sub-regions: D, E and F; based on what wavelength of solar radiation is absorbed. The ionosphere is a critical link in the chain of Sun-Earth interactions. This region is what makes radio communications possible.

Exosphere

This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere up to 10,000 km (6,200 mi).
