Hello! The largest mass extinction in Earth's history occurred about 250 million years ago, right before the dinosaurs appeared. Devonian Period ended about 355 million years ago, which was before the mass extinction occurred. Therefore, C is eliminated. The Cambrian Period came before Devonian Period, ending around 485 million years ago, which also eliminates A. Ordovician Period ended about 445 million years ago, which also before the mass extinction. B is gone, which leaves us to the last available answer choice being D. The Permian Period ended around 250 million years ago, which was the time of the mass extinction. The largest mass extinction even occurred at the end of the Permian period. The answer is D: Permian.

Glycolyis occurs ________________
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Explanation:

Glycolysis may be defined as the process of break down of glucose molecules for the formation pf ATP with the help of enzymes and chemical factors. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the organism.

Glycolysis may occur in the presence of organism known as aerobic respiration. The glycolysis can occur in the absence of oxygen as well known as anaerobic respiration. The steps involved up to the formation of pyruvate molecule from the glucose is same in case of aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

The binding of the neurotransmitter to receptors on the motor end plate causes which of the following to occur?
lutik1710 [3]

The correct answer is: Binding of the neurotransmitter causes chemically gated sodium channels to open in the motor end plate (junctional folds of the sarcolemma) and sodium enters the cell.

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.
