Excitatory neurotransmitters influence the receiving neuron to _____, whereas inhibitory neurotransmitters influence the receivi

ng neuron to _____
Biology

Viktor [21]1 year ago

Excitatory neurotransmitters cause the neuron to fire, and Inhibitory neurotransmitters cause the neuron not to fire.

Impulses are the signals passed from one neuron to another on the action of a stimulus. The impulses passed can be electrical or chemical. Neurotransmitters are the chemical molecules that help in the transfer of impulses between two neurons.

Chemicals like epinephrine, norepinephrine, and glutamate when released from the synaptic cleft of one neuron activate the receptors of other neurons, thereby initiating the other neuron to fire. These chemicals are called excitatory neurotransmitters.

Chemicals like GABA and glycine, when released from the synaptic cleft of one neuron do not activate the receptors of other neurons and hence the neurons will not fire the impulse. These chemicals are called inhibitory neurotransmitters.

5. Which of the following is an example of active transport?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

D (proteins moving ions from low to high concentration across a cell membrane)

Explanation:

Active transport, by definition, is a type of substance transport that requires energy (typically in the form of ATP). Having said that, we can immediately eliminate B (aka water diffusion throughout the cytoplasm of a cell), as diffusion (osmosis in this case) does not require any expenditure/spending of energy. Next, we can cancel A and C because although they do require energy, there is no transport involved. Thus that leaves us with D. D is not only the answer because of the process of elimination but also b/c the ans. choice says that ions are being moved from low to high concentration, which is against the concentration gradient and thus requires energy. Hope you found this helpful! :)
