Answer:

The correct answer is erectile dysfunction.

Explanation:

Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, refers to a condition in which the person loses the tendency to sustain an erection for long enough to have sex. There are many reasons for erectile dysfunction, however, one of the most common reasons is high sugar level or diabetes.  

It has been suggested that about 35 to 75 percent of men with diabetes will go on to develop the condition. Diabetes results in erectile dysfunction as it can destruct the supply of blood to the penis and the nerves, which monitor an erection.  

In case, when the levels of sugar in the blood is too high, less production of nitric oxide takes place. This signifies that not an adequate amount of blood flow into the penis to maintain an erection.

Which statement best describes the potential confusion in early studies of inheritance patterns for skin color?
Anni [7]
<span>Melanin helps protect the skin against effects of the sun such as skin cancers  and premature aging. In African American skin, melanin provides a sun protection factor (SPF) equivalent to 13.4 compared to 3.4 in white skin and thus the former have lower incidences of skin disorders associated with exposure to the sun.</span>

Action potential in a motor neuron triggers the release of what neurotransmitter?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Action potential in a motor neuron triggers the release of acetylcholine (ACh) neurotransmitter.

Explanation:

Acetylcholine: It is a neurotransmitter released by motor neurons which bind to the receptors end plates of the motor. When an action potential travel down the motor neuron's axon, neurotransmitter release occurs resulting in an influx of calcium and altered permeability of the synaptic terminal membrane.

The Ca2+ ions allow synaptic vesicles to move and bind with the presynaptic membrane which is present on the neuron and released neurotransmitter from the vesicles into the synaptic cleft. Once it's released ACh diffusion occurs across the synaptic cleft to the motor end plate, and binds with ACh receptor. As the neurotransmitter ACh binds, these ions channel open and sodium ions cross the membrane into the muscle cells.

In this phase reduction of voltage inside and outside the cell occurs, which is known as depolarization. When ACh binds to the motor end plate this depolarization is known as end plate potential. Then depolarization spread with the sarcolemma and creating an action potential. This action potential moves the entire cell and creating a wave of depolarization.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Spores and seeds have basically the same function-dispersal-but are vastly different because spores (D) are unicellular; seeds are not.

<h3>What are  unicellular organism?</h3>

A unicellular organism can be regarded as  single-celled organism, which are those organisms  that consists of a single cell.

This is different from   multicellular organism  because it consists of multiple cells however  Organisms  can be selected base on  general categories which are  prokaryotic organisms and eukaryotic organisms.

It should be noted that Spores and seeds have basically the same function-dispersal-but are vastly different because spores (D) are unicellular; seeds are not.

Therefore option D is correct.
