Inadequate calcium in the neuromuscular junction would directly affect which of the following processes?

Biology
1 answer:
AysviL [449]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a. Release of acetylcholine from the synaptic vesicles

Explanation:

The events on neuromuscular junction:

Action potential travels through the membrane of the presynaptic cell causing the voltage-gated channels permeable to calcium ions to open. Ca2+ flow through the presynaptic membrane and increase the Ca concentration in the cell which will activate proteins attached to vesicles that contain a neurotransmitter (e.g. acetylcholine). Vesicles fuse with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, thereby release their contents into the synaptic cleft-space between the membranes of the pre- and postsynaptic cells. Neurotransmitter ACh binds to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and its binding causes depolarization of the target cell (muscle cell). Depolarization occurs because sodium enters the cell as a result of neurotransmitter receptor binding.

What were three impacts on modern animals that came from the Cambrian Explosion?
lidiya [134]
The Cambrian explosion was a period at the Pre-Cambrian boundary of the geologic time scale at 542 Ma. At this boundary, the fossil record shows that animals suddenly appeared in a dramatic radiation of life. A radiation is the relatively rapid development of new types of organisms that derive from a common ancestor. The Cambrian explosion is important because it marks the origination of all major animal groups called phyla.

The oceanic Nazca plate is being subducted beneath the continental South American plate. Which type of plate boundary is this?
marusya05 [52]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>A. continental-oceanic convergent</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>A convergent boundary</u></em> is a type of boundary where two plates collide and push against one another.
  • <em><u>A continental-oceanic convergent</u></em> is a type of convergent boundary that occurs as a result of <em><u>subduction.</u></em> <em><u>Subduction occurs where a continental plate collide thus resulting to the oceanic plate being pushed underneath the continental plate</u></em> into the mantle since the oceanic plates are much thinner.
  • The result is that <em><u>the oceanic plates melts into hot magma which that burns its way up through the continental plate</u></em> forming a volcano and also causing earth quakes.
