Whether the effect of a neurotransmitter is excitatory or inhibitory depends on the receptor it binds to.

<h3>What is Neurotransmitter?</h3>

A neurotransmitter may be defined as the chemical substances present within the synaptic vesicles and transmitting the impulse through synapses.  

Examples of excitatory neurotransmitters are glutamate, norepinephrine, epinephrine, etc. Such neurotransmitters promote the electrical impulse and allow the passage of messages.

Examples of inhibitory neurotransmitters are serotonin, glycine, GABA, etc. Such neurotransmitters inhibit the passage of electrical impulses and block information.

Therefore, it is well described above.

Why are some diseases more common in certain groups of people, such as caucasians or African Americans
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Some diseases are more common in certain groups of people, such as Caucasians or African Americans because individuals in such ethnic groups often share certain alleles (versions of their genes), that have been passed down to them from common ancestors and a particular genetic disorder may be more frequently seen in such groups if one of these shared genes contains a disease-causing mutation.

Explanation:

Some genetic diseases are frequently seen in certain ethnic groups like Caucasians or African Americans. Individuals in such groups often share certain alleles (versions of their genes), that have been passed down to them from common ancestors and one of these shared genes may contains a disease-causing mutation.

Examples of certain genetic disorders that are more common in particular ethnic groups include the Tay-Sachs disease, which is more common in people of eastern and central Europe (Ashkenazi), Jewish or French Canadian ancestry and the sickle cell disease, which occur among people of African, African American, or Mediterranean heritage.

Some genetic disorders are more common in people whose ancestry can be traced to a particular geographic area. The factors that can lead to development of populations with very different genetic allele frequencies include their geographic origin, selection, patterns of migration, historic events, etc. Certain natural barriers like oceans and other water bodies, high mountains, large deserts, or major cultural factors had prevented communication and interaction between people. So mating was restricted within the group, and this produces genetic marker differences and differences in the presence of specific disease-related alleles.

A researcher synthesizes a new molecule called inhibitor X that inhibits the activity of phosphofructokinase (PFK), the enzyme t
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer : The dissociation constant of the PFK‑inhibitor complex is, 5 µM

Explanation :

The expression for reversible competitive inhibition when apparent Km affected by addition of the inhibitor is:

K_m_a=K_m[1+\frac{I}{K_i}]

where,

K_m_a = apparent value = 52 µM

K_m = Michaelis–Menten constant = 40 µM

I = inhibitor concentration = 1.5 µM

K_i = dissociation constant of the PFK‑inhibitor complex

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

52\mu M=40\mu M[1+\frac{1.5\mu M}{K_i}]

K_i=5\mu M

Therefore, the dissociation constant of the PFK‑inhibitor complex is, 5 µM
