High quantities of nutrients in water from industrial crop fertilizers and animal waste cause excessive aquatic plant growth — a process known as “eutrophication,” which, in turn, causes “hypoxia,” or water that is low in oxygen. Harmful algal blooms (or HABs) occur when aquatic algae grow rapidly out of control.
The biosphere is everything. the whole planet. so all of the above is right
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).
