I think the neurotransmitter associated with bulimia nervosa is the hormone serotonin or 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine). Serotonin is an important chemical and neurotransmitter in the human body that is responsible to regulate mood and social behavior, appetite and digestion, sleep, memory, and sexual desire and function. Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by eating large amount of food in a short amount of time.

The neurotransmitter associated with bulimia nervosa is serotonin or 5-HT.

Bulimia nervosa is a serious eating disorder which is characterized by a cycle comprised of episodes of rapid consumption of large amount of food and compensatory behaviour, such as fasting, excessive exercise and even vomiting.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter found in the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system and it is thought to be connected to feelings of well-being and happiness. More specifically, serotonin regulates mood, appetite and sleep. Regarding the regulation of appetite, serotonin promotes the feeling of satiety. Bulimia nervosa is associated with low levels of serotonin.

What is the expected percent change in the DNA content of a typical eukaryotic cell as it progresses through the cell cycle from
Anastasy [175]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Question: What is the expected percent change in the DNA content of a typical eukaryotic cell as it progresses through the cell cycle from the start of the G1 phase to the end of the G2 phase

a. -100%

b. -50%

c. +50%

d. +100%

Answer:

d. +100%

Explanation:

S phase comes between G1 and G2 phases of the interphase of a cell cycle. S phase of interphase includes replication of DNA. The process of DNA replication doubles the amount of DNA present in the cell. The newly synthesized DNA is accommodated in the sister chromatids of chromosomes. Therefore, a cell with 2C DNA in the G1 phase would have 4C DNA at the end of the G2 phase. So, there is a +100% increase in the DNA content of a cell as it proceeds from G1 to the end of the G2 phase.

Which of the following does not characterize the lungs of birds?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

C) They are compressed during inhalation.

Explanation:

Birds breathe through rigid lungs that are located in the animal's thoracic region. The trachea of birds divides into bronchi that branch inside the lungs into very thin tubes called parabronchials or parabroncholes, which are irrigated by blood capillaries that allow gas exchange.

In birds there are no pulmonary alveoli (as in mammals), but air capillaries that depart from the parabroncholes. Oxygen gas passes from these capillaries to the blood capillaries, thus causing gas exchange.

In the lower portion of the bird's trachea, before branching the bronchi, we can find the syringe, a bag-like structure that has vocal cords responsible for the birds' scream and song. Most of the time, the sound emitted by birds serves to attract the mate, mark territory and prevent birds of the same species against some predator or other danger.

How are stem cells able to produce red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets?​
kogti [31]

Explanation:

this is the best I can do for you sorry let me know if this helps any.

When a stem cell divides, it first becomes an immature red blood cell, white blood cell, or platelet-producing cell. The immature cell then divides, matures further, and ultimately becomes a mature red blood cell, white blood cell, or platelet.
