The term Neurotransmitter describes the chemical substances that make it possible for messages to cross from the synapse of a neuron to the target receptor.

<h3>What are Neurotransmitters?</h3>
  • Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that allow neurons to communicate with each other throughout the body.
  • Chemical synaptic transmission is primarily through the release of neurotransmitters from presynaptic neural cells to postsynaptic receptors.
  • There are a number of neurotransmitters used by the body for different functions, including acetylcholine, norepinephrine, glutamate, GABA, glycine, dopamine, and serotonin.
  • Glutamate is the principal excitatory neurotransmitter used in the brain.
  • GABA and Glycine serve as the major inhibitory neurotransmitters.

Unequal reproductive success ______.Group of answer choicescan lead to a population being less well adapted to its environmentca
postnew [5]

Answer:

can lead to natural selection

Explanation:

<h2></h2><h2>Unequal reproductive success<em> _can lead to natural selection_____.</em></h2>

This is because if there is unequal reproductive success then one of the organisms is <em>better suited for reproducing, surviving, and passing down their genes to their offspring</em> rather than the organism who is unfit. This is where natural selection comes into play because natural selection is process where <em>i</em><u><em>ndividuals better suited for their environment produce more and have better survivality. </em></u>

So overtime, the organism which is weaker  (in sense of fitness) (here fitness relates to reproduction and survival), will not pass as many genes and won't survive, whereas, individual better suited will, hence in  a way "<u>Nature selected"</u><u> </u>the better fit organism.

In a chemical analysis of a sample of animal tissue, which element would most likely be found in the smallest quantity?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Iodine

Explanation:

Iodine is needed by animals because the body's metabolic rate is controlled by the action of an iodine hormone, called thyroxine, which is secreted by the thyroid gland in the neck.

If the animal fails to supply enough iodine through food to be able to make a normal amount of this compound, then the thyroid gland enlarges or expands trying to create enough, resulting in a common type of goiter.

How would shoot and root growth be affected by a mutation that caused plants to lose the ability to polymerize glucose into star
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

b) Lateral branch shoots would grow more horizontally and have less of a tendency to turn upward.

d) Lateral branch roots fully embedded in soil would grow randomly upward and downward.

e) Roots breaking the soil surface would grow upward.

Explanation:

Inside the amyloplasts of the common bean the starch granules resemble variously sized cotton balls stuffed into a balloon. Under normal circumstances amyloplasts do nothing more than sit on the bottom of special gravity-sensing cells. When a plant is knocked over, the amyloplasts slide from what was recently the bottom of the cell onto a formerly vertical wall. Somehow, this movement is sensed and relayed to cells that secrete the growth-regulating plant hormone auxin.

Since the plant has lost the ability to transform glucose into the granules. The plant can´t differentiate between up or down because gravity is what causes these granules to settle down.

During gamete formation, each allele of a pair for a gene moves to separate gametes. Which principle is indicative of this state
TiliK225 [7]
Think about the actual physical process happening in the cell - the allele (or versions of a gene) are literally physical pieces of DNA strung together into chromosomes. And as the cell divides to form gametes, those chromosomes randomly assort themselves into the two new cells (conditional that each new cell gets one copy of each chromosome, in the case of gametes)...<span>
