Latrotoxin, produced by the poisonous black widow spider, increases the release of acetylcholine. how do muscle cells respond?

Biology
1 answer:
dangina [55]4 years ago
4 0

<span>Latrotoxin produced by widow spider affects muscle nerve endings. This toxin forms pores on the membrane of the cell. As a consequence, an influx of Ca+ ions occurs and bursts of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (Ach) are released. Ach induces an increase in neuromuscular activity that leads to painful skeletal muscle spasms and later even paralysis.</span>

Glucose is an important biomolecule. Which of these statements is true regarding the movement of glucose into and out of cells?
muminat

Answer:

D) Glucose is a large, hydrophilic molecule and must use a channel protein to enter or exit a cell, but does not require energy.

Explanation:

Glucose is a polar, large, and hydrophilic molecule that cannot easily diffuse the cell membrane. It moves across the membrane through a mechanism known as <u>facilitated diffusion</u>. In this process, a carrier protein attaches itself to glucose molecule and transport it without any use of ATP. Instead, the movement is driven by concentration gradient. An example is the diffusion of glucose in red blood cells.

What is the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons, and 11 neutrons?
RSB [31]

Answer:

B. 26amu

Explanation:

The nucleus of an atom in an element contains protons, electrons and neutrons. The proton number equals the electron number in a neutral atom. The proton number is also called the atomic number, denoted by Z.

The mass number also called Atomic mass unit (amu) in this case, of an element is the sum of the proton number and the neutron number in the atom of that element. The mass number is denoted by A.

Hence, A = Z + N

Where A = Mass number

Z = Proton (atomic number)

N = Neutron number

In this question, N is 11 while Z is 15

Hence, the mass number of the element in the question, in AMU, is 15 + 11 = 26amu.
