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.

Three organelles (cell parts) found in plant cells, but not animal cells?

allsm [11]

1. The Cell Wall.

Plants have a cell wall in order to maintain rigidity and stability. Animal cells do not have a cell wall because they have a different structure, which makes them more flexible and able to move around easier.

2. Chloroplasts

Since plants cannot move, they get their energy from the sun. This energy is made inside of the chloroplasts. Animal cells don't have chloroplasts because their energy comes from other organisms.

3. Central Vacuole

The central vacuole provides structure and holds materials and wastes, and also decomposes those wastes. Animal cells don't have a central vacuole because they have lysosomes and normal vacuoles that do the same function.
