An action potential causes the release of neurotransmitters by:________.

Biology

seraphim [82]4 years ago

Answer:

b) opening calcium pores in the membrane

Explanation:

The opening of calcium  ions channels facilitates the migration of vesicles containing neurotransmitters in the pre-synaptic neurons  to the tip of the post-synaptic membrane. at the <u>neuromuscular  junction </u>These neurotransmitters can either be <u>cholinergic or non-chorlinergic.</u>   <u>At the tip  of the pre-synaptic membranes the vesicles empty their neurotransmitter contents into the synapse.</u>

The neurotransmitters,  diffuse through the neuromuscular junction to bind  with the receptors on the <u>post-synaptic membrane on the post-synaptic neuron.</u> This  stimulates opening of<u> ligand gated sodium ions,</u> and sodium ions  diffuse into the post-synaptic neuronal membrane, to cause <u>depolarization</u>. if the stimulus is  up to the threshold levels   it  generate action potential.

Therefore , more calcium ions channels opening produces; more diffusion of neurotransmitters;leading to opening of more sodium channels for depolarization; and IPSP or EPSP  generation.

(b) Based on the data for the groups of cells cultured with 0.1% serum (groups 3 to 7), identify the groups(s) most likely to in
joja [24]

Answer:

Groups 4 to 7 are most likely to be undergoing the mitotic phase of the cell cycle.

Explanation:

Since the four proteins used p16,  p18,  p21, and  p27 are inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK), their absence indicates that the cell is undergoing mitosis - the cell cycle is regulated by CDKs. In the absence of these inhibitors, the cell cycle moves on forward. Because the bar for DNA replication is longer in the case for groups 4 to 7, it is indicative of the fact that these cells have gone through the mitotic phase.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Which of the following is not a type of asexual reproduction?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Fertilization

Explanation:

Binary fission is when single parent cell doubles it’s DNA, then divides into two cells. (usually in bacteria).

Budding is the small growth on surface of parent breaks off, resulting in formation of two individuals. (ex: yeast)

Fragmentation is when organisms break into two or more fragments that develop into a new individual. (occurs in many plants and some animals like starfish)
