Why does nitric oxide (no) act as a paracrine signal that affects only neighboring cells?

Chemistry
1 answer:
VMariaS [17]2 years ago
5 0

The correct answer is due to rapid conversion of nitrates into nirites in extracellular fluids.

Due to the fact that it is quickly transformed to nitrates and nitrites in the extracellular fluid, nitric oxide (NO) functions as a paracrine signal that only impacts nearby cells. Because it relaxes the smooth muscle cells in blood vessel walls, nitric oxide (NO) causes blood vessels to widen. Cell signaling is a type of cellular communication in which a cell produces a signal to cause changes in neighboring cells, changing the behavior of those cells. Paracrine signaling is one type of cell signaling. Responses to allergens, tissue repair, the development of scar tissue, and blood clotting are a few examples of paracrine signaling. The transmission of signals through synapses between nerve cells is known as paracrine signaling.

Complete the sentence. When an acid is added to water, hydroxide ions __________.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The hydroxide ions decrease.

Explanation:

I got it right on the quiz. This is what I saw. Read this, "Adding water to an acid or base will change its pH. Water is mostly water molecules so adding water to an acid or base reduces the concentration of ions in the solution. When an acidic solution is diluted with water the concentration of H + ions decreases and the pH of the solution increases towards 7."

Hope this helps! Tell me if this is wrong just incase.
