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

Chemistry

VMariaS [17]2 years ago

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.

10 atoms of aluminum reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen gas to produce aluminum oxide. 4 Al + 3 O2 ––> 2 Al2O3 What is the exc
Mrrafil [7]

The excess reactant is Aluminum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to write the balanced equation as,

4 Al+ 3 O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃

According to the molar ratio 4: 3, from the given balanced equation, we can say that 4 atoms of Al reacted with 3 molecules of oxygen.

Given that 10 atoms of aluminum reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen, as per the ratio only 8 atoms of Aluminum is required to react with 6 molecules of oxygen, so excess reactant is Aluminum.
