Write any two uses of pseudopodia in amoeba​

Biology
1 answer:
bogdanovich [222]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The cells that contain these projections are what are generally referred to as amoebae, which are filaments near the end of the cell that interact with the mucin that leads to the contraction. The pseudofoot extends itself up to the actin and then returns itself to the reticulum. In this way, the amoeba moves, as well as some cells in animals, such as white blood cells.

Prior to neurotransmitter release, vesicles are transported to specialized regions of the presynaptic terminal called _______ zo
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The correct answers are: Synaptic Active Zones, Exocytosis.

Explanation:

  • An impulse after travelling along the dendrites, cell body and axon of a neuron reaches the axon endings in the form of an action potential (signal transmitted by the activation of voltage gated sodium and potassium channels present on the plasma membrane of the neurons).
  • At the axon ending or the pre-synaptic region, the action potential triggers the opening of the voltage dependent calcium channels, that promotes the influx of calcium ions into the pre-synaptic region of the neuron.
  • This process triggers the fusion of the neuro-transmitter carrying vesicles with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neuron.
  • As a result of fusion the neurotransmitter is released into the synaptic cleft.
  • At the pre-synaptic region of the neuron, there is a huge concentration of neuro-transmitter carrying vesicles which remain adhered to proteins called CAZ (cytomatrix at the active zone) proteins. These proteins help the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles to remain tethered or docked to the pre-synaptic membrane in the axon terminal of the neuron. They together form the Synaptic Active Zone.
  • In response to calcium ion influx these proteins help the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles to fuse with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neural axon and release the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.
  • The process of fusion of the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neural axon followed by the release of the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft is known as Exocytosis.

How does salinity differ in the oceans?
Len [333]
Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean. However these "salinity raising" factors are continually counterbalanced by processes that decrease salinity such as the continuous input of fresh water from rivers, precipitation of rain and snow, and melting of ice.
