Agents that paralyze skeletal muscle by simple competitive inhibition of acetylcholine at muscle receptor sites are called?
a. nondepolarizing
b. depolarizing
c. antagonizing
d. repolarizing
Answer:
a. nondepolarizing
Explanation:
As the nerve impulse arrives, the synaptic end bulbs of the motor neurons release acetylcholine in the synapse. Acetylcholine binds to its receptors present at the motor endplate. This results in the opening of an ion channel in the ACh receptor to allow the movement of the Na+ into the cell. This makes the inside of the muscle fiber more positively charged, that is, depolarized.
Depolarization triggers a muscle action potential. Drugs or chemicals that paralyze skeletal muscle by competitive inhibition of acetylcholine at muscle receptor sites are called non-depolarizing as they do not allow the acetylcholine to facilitate the depolarization of the muscle fiber.

Prokaryotic cells reproduce asexually which makes it easier for them to multiply because all they have to do is split in half where as eukaryotic cells reproduce sexually so they have to find another cell to meet with in order to reproduce.
Answer:
Cyanobacteria, Anabaena and Azotobactor are called Nitrogen fixing bacteria. These bacteria change the nitrogen in the atmosphere into a form that is used by the plants to make proteins. Plants take nitrogen in the form of nitrates. The atmospheric nitrogen is first converted into ammonia after that ammonia is converted into nitrates and this nitrates use by the plants to make proteins.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Wall cell has to be strong to bring protection to the cell. In general it is made of beta-glycosidic bonds.
Storage polysaccharides, are a source of available energy for the cell in any moment. Therefore, the bonds of storage polysaccharides need to be weak. In that way, when the cell needs energy from carbohydrates, it is not going to spend so much energy trying to break the bond.
