How does mg2+ block the effect of extracellular calcium on neurotransmitter release?

Chemistry

svetlana [45]4 years ago

<span>Magnesium is a strong anode than calcium. So, Mg will be oxidized into Mg2+. So instead of having Ca being the reducing agent, Mg will takes its place. That's how the "Blocking" occur.
</span><span>Without Ca2+, no neurotransmitter was released because the exocytosis of the synaptic vesicles is dependent upon Ca2+.
</span>So, when magnesium is added to the extracellular fluid it blocks the calcium channels and inhibits the release of <span>neurotransmitter.</span>

A 40 g gold coin is cooled from 50°C to 10°C (CAu is 0.13 J/g-°
Debora [2.8K]
When the Heat gain or lose = the mass * specific heat * ΔT

and when we have the mass of gold coin= 40 g 

and the specific Heat of gold=  0.13 J/g°

and ΔT = (Tf- Ti) = 10°C - 50°C = -40 °C

so by substitution:

∴Heat H = 40 g * 0.13 J/g° * -40
               = - 208 J

Mrs. DeFord wanted to know whether or not her students would do better on a quiz if she promised them candy.
marta [7]

Answer:

a.) Independent Variable: # of candy bars promised to each group

[ The Independent Varaiable is what you change in the experiment]

b.) Dependent Variable: Quiz Scores

[ The Dependent Variable is what you're testing in the experiment; what the experiment should affect]

c.) Constant(s): Same Quiz, same number of gender kids in each group, same age kids in each group, same ability, and same background. [and same time, I'm assuming.]

[Constants are what you keep the same in the experiment; what you're not changing.]

d.) Testable Question: Will promising kids candy make them do better on tests and quizzes? [or something along this lines of this]

[The Testable Question is what you're trying to find out in the experiment]

e.) Hypothesis: The more candy the students were promised, the better results Mrs. DeFord would get from them.

[The Hypothesis is what the person performing the experiment expects will happen; an educated guess]

f. Formal Conclusion: Data shows that kids who were promised more candy had a better average than kids who were promised less candy/none. Mrs. DeFord's hypothesis was correct, since she assumed the more candy the students were promised, the better they would do on the quiz.

[The Formal Conclusion is what you have learned from the experiment, and wether or not the hypothesis was correct or not.]

I hope this helps! :)

Use the reaction 2NO 2 (g) = N 2 O 4 (g) to answer the following question:
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

According to Le Chatelier’s Principle, a stress placed on a system at equilibrium will cause the equilibrium to shift to counteract the stress.  For example, a temperature increase in the above reaction will favor the reverse reaction to use the excess heat and form brown NO2 gas.  A temperature decrease in the above reaction favors the forward reaction to produce heat and form colorless N2O4 gas.
