Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms where one receives a benefit or benefits from the other and the other is not affected by it. In other words, one is benefited and the other is neither benefited nor harmed.

Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one member benefits from the relationship, and the other is neither harmed nor does it benefit. Commensalism may be thought of as a positive-zero relationship in which one organism benefits, and the other is neither harmed nor hurt.

An example of commensalism is army ants that live in tropical areas. These army ants move across the rain forest and jungle and eat whatever they can find. Another kind of insect, a type of silverfish, marches right along with them. The silverfish are there in small numbers, and they don’t seem to compete for food with the army ants. The silverfish gain protection from predators by being in the midst of all the ants. They may get food left over from the ants. The silverfish benefit, while the army ants are neither harmed nor helped.

What state of mind does alcohol initially produce in most adults after the first drink?

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

euphoria

Explanation:

When a person takes alcohol, he/she feels relaxed and euphoric. This happens because of the release of endorphins. Endorphins are a chemical that produces the feeling of pleasure and happiness. After the first drink, the content of alcohol in blood is 0.05-0.06% which is sufficient to develop euphoric feeling.

kherson [118]

Answer:

Vesicles

Explanation:

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that transports signals or messages between neurons.

Most neuronal cells have vesicles in their interior, which are organelles that store neurotransmitters for exportation -by exocytosis- or from recycling -by endocytosis-. These vesicles also protect the neurotransmitter from the enzymatic action.

Vesicles form in the cellular soma, from where they are transported to nervous terminals. Once the vesicle releases the neurotransmitter to the intercellular space, their membrane remains available in the plasmatic membrane to be reused.

The neurotransmitter concentration in the vesicle interior is related to the storage system and the transport system. There are specialized transporter proteins in the vesicle membrane that are involved with the introduction of the molecule to the organelle.

In the exposed example, transporter Trans B might be located in the vesicle membranes, and hence could be found in the cytosol of the cells.
