Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are drugs that are antidepressants. These blocks the reuptake of a neurotransmitter leading to increases in their activity in the synaptic cells.

<h3>What are neurotransmitters?</h3>

Neurotransmitters are defined as the signaling molecules that are secreted by the nerve cells and act as signal transporter between the neurons and the other cells of the body.

The SSRIs class of drugs affects this neurotransmitter and blocks the pathway to the presynaptic cell. This, in turn, affects synaptic communication by increasing the amount of those SSRIs in the body and acting as a stimulant to treat various diseases.

Therefore, the SSRIs block the neurotransmitter and result in their effects.

All chemical reactions have a conservation of(1) mass, only(2) mass and charge, only(3) charge and energy, only(4) mass, charge,
Semenov [28]
All chemical reactions have a conversation of mass and energy. 

Because:- There are only two laws for conversation in a chemical reaction. The conversation of mass, no mass can be created nor destroyed. Also, the law of conversation of mass states that no energy can be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. The charge can obviously change because they can bond and change charges.

Un deportista de 72 kg trepa por una cuerda hasta una altura de 12m. Calcula el incremento de energía potencial gravitatoria que
Oxana [17]

A 72 kg athlete climbs a rope to a height of 12m. Calculate the increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced.

Answer:

8467.2J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the athlete = 72kg

Height of the climb  = 12m

Unknown:

Increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced = ?

Solution:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. It is mathematically expressed as;

  Gravitational potential energy  = m x g x h

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

h is the height

   Insert the parameters and solve;

  Gravitational potential energy  = 72 x 9.8 x 12

  GPE = 8467.2J

The following reaction has an equilibrium constant (Keq) of 1 under standard conditions and can be catalysed by the enzyme aspar
Trava [24]

Answer:

  1. What is the AGⓇ of this reaction? 0.
  2. Which will be favoured - the forward reaction, the reverse reaction, or neither? Neither.
  3. What effect does the presence of the enzyme aspartate transaminase have on the Key value when compared with its value in the absence of enzyme? It does not affect the value of Keq.
  4. If one of the products of reaction 1, oxaloacetate, is removed by converting it to citrate as follows: Reaction 2: oxaloacetate + acetyl-CoA citrate + COASH will the key for Reaction l be changed? No, the Keq does not change.

Explanation:

1. To calculate the delta G of a reaction given the K, we use the following equation:

ΔG°= -RT ln K.

Which gives us 0 when K is 1.

2.None of the reactions is favoured. Given that the K equals 1, the system will try to keep the concentration of both products and reagents the same.

3. A catalyst is a substance that, when added, provides a different and faster mechanism through which a reaction takes place. This only means that the speed at which the equilibrium is attained is reduced, but the enzyme does nothing to alter the difference in energy (ΔG°) of the start and end points of the reaction, which ultimately gives us the value of Keq.

4. The addition of a side reaction does not change the value of Keq for the main reaction. They are both separate ways of making oxaloacetate disappear. While the Keq does not change, keep in mind that the end concentrations will not be the same, for any set of starting concentrations of your substances.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

C. representative elements.

Explanation:

Families 1 - 2 and 13 - 18 are called representative elements or often times, main group elements.

  • Elements on the periodic table belongs to four blocks which are s, p, d and f blocks.
  • Those in the s and p-blocks are the main group elements also called representative elements.
  • Their outer-shell are not completely filled with electrons but their inner shell is completely filled.
