Answer:

The correct option is d. it causes exchange diffusion

Explanation:

Amphetamines are synthetic substances with a stimulating effect. Their action lies mainly in increasing synaptic levels of monoamines by various mechanisms, including diffusion exchange through membrane transporters. Amphetamine increases extracellular concentrations of serotonin by displacing the neurotransmitter from its specific presynaptic transporter. When amphetamine binds to serotonin transporters, on the one hand it prevents it from entering the terminal and on the other it reverses the recapture mechanism so that serotonin leaves the synaptic space.

What number and type of chromosomes are found in a somatic cell in an animal with a diploid number of 48?
pickupchik [31]
Chromosomes are parts of a cell that carries genetic information inform of genes, they contain DNA molecules packaged around histone proteins. Diploid number of chromosomes means that a cell has both sets of homologous chromosomes while haploid is used to refer to a cell that has one set of chromosomes and therefore a single set of genes.Mitosis is a type of cell division that takes place in the somatic cells (body cells) resulting to two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell (diploid). Therefore, in this case a somatic cell will have 48 chromosomes (diploid number 2n).
