A compound that binds to a receptor but does not activate the neuron is known as an Antagonist.

A receptor is a large protein molecule on a neuron that gets activated when a ligand binds to it such as a drug or hormone, or when electrical impulses pass through it.

An antagonist is a drug or hormone that binds to receptor, but instead of activating the receptor, it blocks or dampens the activation of the neuron. Antagonist drugs are used to interfere with the normal function or operation of a protein receptor.

Depending on the nature of the antagonist or the receptor it's bound to, the effects of antagonists may be permanent or temporary.

In part 3 of the lab, you discovered the relationship between temperature (T) and volume (V) of a gas.
rewona [7]

\frac{V1}{T1} = k

<u>Explanation:</u>

The relation between volume, V of gas and Temperature, T of a gas is related by Charles Law.

This law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at a constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature

Thus,

\frac{V}{T} = k

where k is a constant

Therefore,

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2\\} = \frac{V3}{T3} ...

This shows, as the volume of a gas goes up, the temperature also goes up and vice-versa.

Which chemical agent will you use to modify the frog heart rate?
Leto [7]
There are different chemical agents which are used to study the heart rate of frog. Generally Ringer's solution is used to study frog's heart simulation. At different temperature, frogs heart speeds up or slows down while using Ringer's solution at experiment. Ringer's solution is mixture of salt solution which comprises of NaCl, KCl, CaCl2 and Na2CO3. Sometimes other chemicals like MgCl or antibiotics are also used as addition in Ringer's solution. 
This solution is chiefly used to study in vitro experiments on organs and tissues like frog's heart.

Ringer's solution at 23 degree Celsius for normal heart rate
Ringer's solution at 32 degree Celsius, heart rate speed up and 
Ringer's solution at  5 degree Celsius, heart rate slows down.

other chemicals also have significant effect in heart rate,
For example, Calcium ion in excess will slow down the heart rate, Atropine increases heart rate and digitalis slows down the heart rate.
