DNA is just one type of nucleic acid. Some other types are RNA, mRNA, and tRNA. All of these "NAs" work together to help cells replicate and build proteins. ... RNA stands for ribonucleic acid.
Out of the following given choices;
A) excitatory, but not inhibitory, synapses
B) inhibitory, but not excitatory, synapses
C) electrical synapses
D) ligand-gated ion channels
The answer is D. These are transmembrane ion-channel proteins that open to allow ions such as Na, K, Ca, and/or Cl to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (i.e. a ligand), such as a neurotransmitter.
Answer:
Part of the extracellular matrix secreted by osteocytes. (Ans. B)
Explanation:
Cells which are present on bones are known as osteocytes. Bone is composed of extracellular matrix, and cells. There are three types of cells which are present in the bones:
1) Osteoprogenitor cells.
2) Osteoblast.
3) Osteocyte.
Extracellular matrix is composed of organic matrix consisting glycoproteins, proteoglycans, osteocalcin also known as calcium binding proteins, and osteonectin which anchors bone mineral to collagen.
<span>INTRODUCTION: What would happen to your cells if they made a poisonous chemical? You might think that they would die. In fact, your cells are always making poisonous chemicals. They do not die because your cells use enzymes to break down these poisonous chemicals into harmless substances. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of reactions that would otherwise happen more slowly. The enzyme is not altered by the reaction. You have hundreds of different enzymes in each of your cells.</span>
