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

Biology
1 answer:
AysviL [449]4 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 two things aspects of proteins are determined by the amino acids and their sequence?
HACTEHA [7]
The two things aspects of proteins that are determined by the amino acids and their sequence are the chemical properties and the 3-Dimensional structure of the proteins. Proteins are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. Proteins are made up of hundreds of smaller units called amino acids that are attached to one another by peptide bonds, forming a long chain.
