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

Biology
1 answer:

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.

Describe how living things use anaerobic respiration to generate energy.
Mrac [35]
Anaerobic respiration is the process by which some organisms produce energy in the absence of oxygen. Instead of oxygen, organic and inorganic molecules are used as electron acceptors. One example of anaerobic respiration is fermentation.
In latic acid fermentation, one molecule of glucose undergoes glycolysis to produce two molecules of pyruvate. The two molecules of pyruvate then undergo fermentation to produce two molecules of lactate. The lactate will be transported to the liver. The lactate can be reconverted to pyruvate and utilized for energy. Latic acid fermentation occurs in the muscles.

Answer:

B. Catastrophism

Explanation:

Catastrophism is the theory that states that the Earth was mostly shaped by very sudden effects. These sudden and short-lived events would occur worldwide in scope and change the Earth rapidly. This is in contrast to uniformitarianism that states that slow incremental changes made the Earth like it is today. Changes like erosion.
