Answer:

Synaptic signaling has a special structure called the synapse

Explanation:

Synaptic signalling is often consider as a subtype of paracrine signalling.

Paracrine signalling is a form of cell-cell comunication in which one cell releases hormone (factor, messenger) that can diffuse through the short distance space to the other cell.

Synaptic signalling is the way by which nerve cells transmit signals. The junction between two nerve cells is synapse and it is a place where signal transmission occurs.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:GGATCGA

Explanation:

The complementary double helix of the DNA are antipararell to each other.

Chargaff's rule state that Adenine always pairs with thymine (double bond) and Cytosine always pairs with guanine (triple bond).

Therefore if a DNA molecule is CCTAGCT, then the sequence on the complementary strand of DNA will be GGATCGA as written below

5' CCTAGCT 3'

The anterior portion of the body of most annelids, such as the earthworm, is adapted for sensing the environment.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The answer is False. Although sensitive cells are more abundant in the anterior portion of the annelid´s body, in general, they are arranged in all the segments.

Explanation:

Annelids, such as the earthworm, have a variety of sensory cells:

Mechanoreceptors, disposed of in groups in each segment of their body.

Photoreceptors: Light-sensitive cells. Although they are located in the whole body, they are abundant in anterior and posterior segments, concentrated in the intern and dorsal part of the epidermis.

Humidity receptors are the most sensitive cells and are located in the first segments of the earthworm body

Chemoreceptors: sensorial cells cumulus forming a prominent tubercle with prolongations that extends through the cuticle. These tubercles form three rings in each segment but are especially abundant in the anterior part of the body.

The tegument is very rich in free nervous terminations, which functions might be tactile.
