How does neural transmission compare to endocrine signal transmission?

Biology

zalisa [80]3 years ago

The best way to compare the nervous system and the endocrine system is to compare the characteristics of speed, specificity and plasticity (abilityto respond and change permanently, particularly with respect to strength and speed.) The nervous system uses rapid electrical signals along nerve axons.Chemical signals are used between nerve cells at synapses. Although this chemical transmission is slower than electrical transmission, synapses are important in transmission between nerve cells. The endocrine system uses hormones, which are secreted into and transported to their target cells via the <span>circulation of blood. Due to the delay of circulation, hormonal responses.</span>

Neural transmission:
1) is transmitted by neurones.
2) quick response
3) involves neurones
4) short lived
5) may be voluntary or involuntary
6) usually localised

Endocrine signal transmission:
1) transmitted by blood
2) usually slow responses
3) involves hormones
4) may be short lived or long lived
5) involuntary
6) may affect more than one target organ

Pepsinogen is produced by __________ and is activated by __________
Ket [755]

Answer:

Pepsinogen is produced by chief cells and is activated by hydrochloric acid secreted by parietal cells.

Explanation:

Pepsinogen is a proenzyme produced in the chief cells (that are located in the stomach lining) that, when gets activated, is transformed into pepsin - a peptidase with the function to degrade proteins into amino acids.

The reason why pepsinogen is released inactive is that it would break down all of the cell's proteins because of its proteolytic nature. For this reason, it is released as a proenzyme and gets activated when reaches the acidic environment provided by the hydrochloric acid secreted by the parietal cells, also in the stomach lining.

a baker has created a new strain of yeast which contains no cytochrome c gene and no cytochrome c protein. this will affect what
Anna007 [38]

A baker has created a new strain of yeast which contains no cytochrome c gene and no cytochrome c protein. this will affect what the yeast strain can do to obtain energy. what will this yeast strain do more of compared to a normal strain

Will this new strain of yeast obtain more or less free energy from glucose in its growing medium?

Answer: Less because cytochrome c is key to the electron transport chain.

Explanation:

The Cytochrome c is an essential component of the electron transport chain. Without this there will be no oxidation and reduction of iron atom will take place which could convert the ferrous ions to ferric ions. Thus the entire process of electron transport chain and energy production in the form of ATP will be compromised. So, there will be no production of energy in the anaerobic fermentation by yeast.
