Biology
1 answer:
Otrada [13]2 years ago

A neurotransmitter can have an excitatory or inhibitory effect on the postsynaptic cell, depending on <u>which of its </u><u>receptor(s</u><u>) are present on the </u><u>postsynaptic</u><u> (target) cell.</u>

<h3>How do excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters act?</h3>

Sometimes neurotransmitters can bind to receptors and cause an electrical signal to be transmitted through the cell (excitatory). In other cases, the neurotransmitter can prevent the signal from continuing, preventing the message from being carried (inhibitory).

With this information, we can conclude that a neurotransmitter is a signaling molecule secreted by a neuron to affect another cell across a synapse.

Can someone help me with that question
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

fine details such as the wings, legs and other fragile structures are preserved effectively giving us a window into how the preserved organism would have appeared in life. without the presence of amber, we wouldn't be able to examine a majority of small prehistoric organisms.

Explanation: amber is able to preserve a snapshot of the ancient world in ways that other forms of fossilization simple fails to do. while an imprint of a feather could be preserved in rock the actual feather could be captured within amber. Amber also preserves small organisms that otherwise would have been lost to time such as the insects seen in the photo above.  And much like the gecko seen below it can show us how these organisms truly appeared in life.

Ceruminous glands are ________. Ceruminous glands are ________. saliva glands found at the base of the tongue modified taste bud
kogti [31]

Answer:

Modified apocrine sweat glands

Explanation:

The ceruminous glands are similar to sebaceous glands, belonging to the group of sweat glands. These glands secrete a sticky material, the ear wax, that protects the thin skin lining the ear canal.

As soon as a dust, dirt or an insect enters the ear canal at the beginning of the ear wax, the wax retains, wraps and pushes it outside the ear canal.

This secretion is lubricating as well as acidic, which helps to kill potentially harmful bacteria and fungi in the ears.
