ACh is released into the synaptic cleft in response to an action potential in the motor neuron. Gradient potentials are started when ACh binds to sarcolemma receptors.

<h3>What triggers a muscle contraction when an action potential occurs?</h3>

The ryanodine receptors (RyRs) in the SR also open and release calcium as a result of the action potential's invasion of the T-tubules, which opens the L-type calcium channels and stimulates contraction.\

Sodium ions within a muscle cell start the action potential. When a muscle contracts, calcium ions are released into the muscle cell, strengthening the muscle. This occurs after the cell becomes positive, starting the action potential.

ACh is released into the synaptic cleft in response to a motor neuron action potential.

Unlike other organelles, chloroplasts and mitochondria contain their own genetic information in the form of A) DNA. B) RNA. C) p
NeX [460]

The right answer is A) DNA.

During evolution, the mitochondria have retained their own genome, which, although very small compared to that of a bacterium, is essential for the proper functioning of these organelles. Confined within the mitochondria, organelles that produce cellular energy, the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is distinct from the DNA in the nucleus. The transmission of this DNA is generally called non-Mendelian because it is only transmitted by the mother.

Chloroplasts contain DNA grouped into nucleoids; each chloroplast can contain up to 100 copies of the genome. The DNA molecules of the chloroplast genome are generally linear or branched. The chloroplast genome is very small, 37 to 220 kb and usually contains about a hundred genes

When acetylcholine binds to receptors at the motor end plate, the end plate membrane becames:__________a. repolarized. b. more p
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

d. more permeable to sodium ions.

Explanation:

The binding of Acetylcholine  with the receptors at  motor end plate facilitate   membrane permeability to sodium ions therefore  opening of voltage gated channels for sodium ions.

Sodium ions diffused into the synapse of post synaptic neuron at the neuromuscular junction.

If  the  stimulus is up to threshold levels; more chemical(neurotransmitter) gated sodium channels opens, and sodium ions move into the  synapse to depolarize the membrane with  reversal of charges to generate action potential.

The continuous  binding of Acetycholine , leads to permanent opening of sodium ions,and over excitation from depolarization.  Acetycholinesterase enzymes breakdown Acetycholine to choline  and Acetyl Co -A. These are recycle back to Acetycholiine
