Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- d. inhibitory neurotransmitter.

Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers in the body, which are released by the axon terminal of neuron ( also called nerve cell) and transmit nerve impulse to the neighboring cell ( which could be a muscle cell or a nerve cell) .

There are primarily two types of neurotransmitters that are-

1) Excitatory neurotransmitter and 2) Inhibitory neurotransmitter.

Inhibitory neurotransmitter have inhibitory effects on the neuron that is they reduce the chances that a neuron will fire an action potential. In other words, they are responsible for slowing signals between neurons.

Example- The most common inhibitory neurotransmitter is GABA ( gamma amino butyric acid)

Answer:

Molecules can be made of one type of element pr a mixture of element.

Molecule is two or more atoms bonded together.

Compound act like a different substance (because have different properties from its constituent elements).

Explanation:

A molecule is the combination of one or more atoms. These atoms may be from different elements are of the same elements. All the compounds are molecule but not all the molecules are compound. For example,

H₂O is a water molecule and also a compound. H₂ is just a molecule not a compound because both atoms are from same element.

The compound have different properties from its constituent elements. e.g water is compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is flammable gas and oxygen support combustion, while water doesn't have these properties. However in mixture elements retain their own properties that's why mixture is different from the compound.

Cutting down forests changes the populations of more than trees. Imagine the organisms that lived in this forest. After the tree

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

<em>Food and shelter are the most likely limiting factors in this case.</em>

Explanation:

In a forest, the huge trees act as a source of shelter for the animals that live in that habitat. It protects the animals from the heat of the Sun and extreme cold conditions.

The tress in the forest are the primary source of food for almost all the organisms that live in the forest. Cutting down trees will lead to food scarcity for the animals which inhabit that forest. As a result, the animals will either have to migrate or they will become die due to lack of food.

Hence, food and shelter are the limiting factors in this case.
