Answer:

Neostigmine act as Cholinesterase inhibitors.it inhibits enzyme Cholinesterase as a competitive reversible antagonists.

This is an enzyme which normally breakdown neurotransmitter acetycholine at the neuromuscular junction (cholinergic synapses). and therefore the termination of synaptic neurotransmission.

Acetycholine is a cholinergic neurotransmitter that ensures transmission of cholinergic nervous signal/synapses at neuromuscular juntion.

Neostigmine inhibiting actions therefore promotes accumulation of acetycholine and thus extended the transmission of cholinergic synapses,

This is expllained the reason why neostigmine mechanisms is used for treatment of neuromuscular disorders e.g autoimmune diseases Myasthenia graviis (weakling of body muscles.

Therfore to counter the advserse effect of Neostigmine ;

which include; salvation, head ache, increased muscus secreation,muscle itching,dizziness,

Intravenous application of 0.04mg/kg/dose of atropine sulphate should be given with respect to each dose of Neostigmine administered.

Answer:

Adverse effect on the animals.

Explanation:

If the rabbit population suddenly shrank due to disease, it will adversely affected the population of eagle, fox and coyote because these animals depend on them through feeding. Eagle, fox and coyote feed on the rabbit so if the population of rabbit decreases, then there will be scarcity of food for these animals and as a result decrease occur in their populations so we can say that adverse effect occurs on the population of eagle, fox and coyote.

Visible sunspots vary in number according to a cycle of how many years?

Alchen [17]

Generally, the sun observes a solar cycle of eleven years. In this cycle, there are fluctuations in the activity, such as the ejected levels of solar radiation, and in the appearance of the sun, such as changes in the amount and size of sun spots, solar flares and other phenomena that occur on the sun's surface.
These changes also affect phenomena on earth, especially the auroras.
