Answer:

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that are released by axon terminals of neurons into the synaptic junctions and act locally to control nerve cell functions.

•Imbalance of neurotransmitters such as serotonin,norepinephrine and dopamine have been linked with depression.

•Abnormal levels of neurotransmitter glutamate leads to changes in the level of Dopamine which can cause transition into psychosis.Dopamine has been implicated as possible cause of schizophrenia.

•Several transmitters are involved in analgesia system (pain suppression),especially involved are enkephalin and serotonin. When Serotonin are released and this causes local cord neurons ti secrete enkephalin,which is believed to cause both presynaptic and postsynaptic inhibition of pain fibres.

•Parkinson's disease also known as paralysis agitans results from widespread destruction of that portion of substantia nigra that sends dopamine-secreting nerve fibres to caudate nucleus and putamen this leads to decrease in dopamine.

•Acetylcholine is responsible brain arousal and muscle contraction.

Orlov [11]
The correct answer is glucose. 

Glucose is the major carbohydrate that can be absorbed and used by humans for energy. In animals, glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and the muscle tissue in contrast to plants wherein they store glucose as amylose and amylopectin (also known as starch). In digestion of starch, it will start with the saliva where the enzyme salivary amylase will break it down to smaller molecules of starch and limit dextrins. These will be further broken down in the intestines using the pancreatic amylase forming di and trisaccharides. These di and trisaccharides will be metabolized by brush border enzyme to eventually produce glucose (and other monosaccharides that can be absorbed such as fructose and galactose).

Scrat [10]

The symbiosis between a Pistol shrimps and gobies is called Mutual symbiosis. <u>In this process both animals benefit. </u>The shrimp creates and maintains a burrow for both the animals to live in, where as the fish offers protection from predators. When outside of their burrow the fish keeps a keen eye to spot any predator around and sends a warning to the goby through flicking of its tail in cases of a predator approaching.
