Answer:

A neuron receives stimuli consisting of the response of  thousands of neurons. Synapse is the signals entering the neuron  via junctions called. The role of  the synapses are to modulate the signal strength and  determine the input signal is either excitatory,  promoting the neuron to fire, or inhibitory, tending to  prevent the neuron from firing. At the axon hillock the  neuron integrates the inputs and if this total is excitatory  then the neuron fires. Although this brief description  leaves out much of the complexity, it is still remarkable  that out of this web of electrochemical firing units,  emerges our very conscious.

What makes up the "tail" of an ATP molecule? 3 phosphate groups ribose adenine 2 phosphate groups
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The tail of an ATP molecule is made up by 3 phosphate groups link together by the help of 2 high energy phospho anhydride bonds.

Explanation:

ATP or adenosine tri phosphate is an energy rich compound that contain adenine base, ribose sugar and 3 phosphate groups.

                  These 3 phosphate groups makes up the tail of ATP molecule.The 3 phosphate groups are designated as alpha phosphate,beta phosphate and gamma phosphate starting from the C5 atom of ribose sugar.

          When ATP undergo hydrolysis the terminal phosphate group or the gamma phosphate group is cleaved from the ATP molecule resulting in the formation of ADP and inorganic phosphate along with the generation of high amount of free energy that is utilized by the cell to perform various cellular and physiological activities.
