<span>The exfoliative toxin is responsible for a skin disease called staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome. This exotoxin, exfoliatin is produced by Staphylococcus aureus and it induces the formation of fluid-filled blisters with easily ruptured, thin walls, usually in infants. Exfoliatin has the protease activity which causes peeling of the skin by destroying adhesion between keratinocytes (skin cells).</span>
The correct answer is: prevent reception of a signal in a receiving neuron
Neurotransmitters are signal molecules or chemical messengers which transmit signals across a chemical synapse. Neurotransmitters send the signal, from one neuron (nerve cell) to another neuron, from neuron to muscle cell (motor plate), or from neuron to gland cell.
Drugs that bind to neurotransmitter’s receptor can have two effects on its action:
• Antagonists-they bind to receptor and thus prevent a neurotransmitter from binding to it
• Agonists-they bind to receptor and mimic the normal neurotransmitter (have the same effect as neurotransmitter).
Since carotenoids stabilize dangerous free radicals, we can assume that their function is to protect the cell from the free radicals.
Answer:
D. A periodic warming of sea surface temperatur
e.
Explanation:
Loggerhead turtles and Humboldt squids normally lives in the south coast of Mexican. These animals are sensitive to temperature. Due to warming waters during El Niño events, these animals migrated toward the North (coast of California).
PS: In the tropical eastern Pacific, if the sea temperatures rise 0.5 °C above the long-term average, the condition is declared as El Niño.
The part of the amino acid that gives the molecule its unique or characteristic chemical properties would be the R-group. Every amino acid has three main groups in it namely the amino group, carboxyl group and the R group. "R" represents different organic chain that is specific to a certain amino acid which gives different properties of the molecule.
