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.

Answer:

The findings demonstrates an optimal foraging hypothesis based on maximizing caloric intake alone is probably incorrect in this case.

Explanation:

This example can also be explained by optimal foraging theory which helps in predicting the behavior of an animal which it is searching for food. Food provides energy to the animal but searching and capturing the food requires both energy and time.

So in order to maximize fitness , an animal adopts a foraging strategy which provides the most benefit which in this case is energy, for the lower cost and by maximizing the net energy gained.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

d. Ribosome

f. Cell wall

Explanation:

In humans 80s type of ribosome is present and in bacteria 70s type of ribosome is present. Human cells do not have cell wall while bacterial cells have peptidoglycan cell wall. These differences can be targeted by the potential antibacterial agents.

For example, tetracycline antibiotic inhibits the binding of important molecules to bacterial ribosome which ultimately inhibits the protein synthesis in bacteria. Vancomycin antibiotic on other hand inhibits the cell wall formation in bacteria by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis.
