The binding of the neurotransmitter to receptors on the motor end plate causes which of the following to occur?

1 answer:

4 0

The correct answer is: D) Binding of the neurotransmitter causes chemically gated sodium channels to open in the motor end plate (junctional folds of the sarcolemma) and sodium enters the cell.

The motor neuron cell is connected to muscle cell via synaptic cleft, where neurotransmitter is released. The muscle side of this synapse is called motor end plate. Released neurotransmitter is acetylcholine and it binds to its receptor (ACh receptor) on the motor end plate. As it binds, ion channels open, and Na+ gets into the muscle cell. This event reduces the voltage difference between the inside and outside of the cell and causes depolarization which creates a wave through the entire muscle cell (its membrane-sarcolema). As a consequence, Ca2+ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum which will cause the contraction of the muscle cell.

honey - benedict's solution

ground turkey - biuret reagent

oatmeal - iodine

Explanation:

Benedict's test is a test used to confirm simple carbohydrates. it helps in identifying reducing sugars that have free ketone or aldehyde functional groups. Raspberry jam has mainly carbohydrates that can be tested by this indicator.

An iodine test is for the determination of starch which is a non-reducing sugar such as oatmeal
