Agents that paralyze skeletal muscle by simple competitive inhibition of acetylcholine at muscle receptor sites are called?
a. nondepolarizing
b. depolarizing
c. antagonizing
d. repolarizing
Answer:
a. nondepolarizing
Explanation:
As the nerve impulse arrives, the synaptic end bulbs of the motor neurons release acetylcholine in the synapse. Acetylcholine binds to its receptors present at the motor endplate. This results in the opening of an ion channel in the ACh receptor to allow the movement of the Na+ into the cell. This makes the inside of the muscle fiber more positively charged, that is, depolarized.
Depolarization triggers a muscle action potential. Drugs or chemicals that paralyze skeletal muscle by competitive inhibition of acetylcholine at muscle receptor sites are called non-depolarizing as they do not allow the acetylcholine to facilitate the depolarization of the muscle fiber.
Radiation. radiation is what causes heat, therefore the air would heat from the natural radiation.
The greenhouse effect occurs when rays enter our atmosphere and are reflected from the ground up. They get changed during their voyage through our atmosphere and they change in such a way that they can't leave the atmosphere anymore. Then they stay inside and heat up the planet which causes thing like global warming. That's what the greenhouse effect is.
Bacteria is important because this bacteria binds hydrogen molecules with the gaseous nitrogen to form ammonia in the soil. During assimilation, or when plants take up nitrates from the soil, bacteria aid in the process with the plants in making ammonia. Animal wastes is also a major place where bacteria thrives and produces ammonia. The process in which assimilation occurs in plants, and then bacteria converts the nitrates to ammonia is called ammonification. From the conversion of ammonia to nitrites, bacteria also aids in this process called nitrification. The nitrifying bacteria mostly present in soils, oxidize ammonia into nitrites, and from nitrites to nitrates.
Finally, the process of denitrification also has bacteria present to aid in converting nitrates back into a gaseous form of nitrogen in the atmosphere.
