Deoxyribonucleoside Triphosphate, which is the more specific form of Deoxyribonucletides.

When DNA is synthesised by DNA polymerase by complimentary base pairing, 2 phosphate groups from Deoxyribonucleoside Triphosphate breaks away, releasing energy from the binding of the Deoxyribonucleotide to the adjacent Deoxyribonucleotide molecule via phosphodiester bond. These molecules will be called Deoxyribonucleoside Monophosphates.

Thus, the general name of the building block of DNA is Deoxyribonucleotide, and the more specific names depend on at which stage of DNA replication you are referring to.

Hope this helps! :)

The three formed elements found in blood are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Compare their functions to one a

Firdavs [7]

Well the red blood cells ( erythrocytes) contain the oxygen carrying pigment known as haemoglobin. Hence RBCs carry oxygen to every cell ion the body.
The white blood cells ( leukocytes) form the cell mediated defence system of the body, they kill microbes and foreign particles either by phagocytosis or lysozymic reactions.
The platelets (thrombocytes) help in the blood clotting process.
This is my comparism of tne blood components.

meriva

Answer:

Generation of an action potential in the neuron.

Stimulation of Ca2+ entry into the neuron

Release of acetylcholine into the synapse

Depolarization of the muscle fiber membrane

Explanation:

The following events takes place in the vertebrate neuromuscular junction

a) Nerve Action Potential - Action potential reaches the axon terminal

b) Entry of calcium ion - The calcium ion reaches the axon terminal and enter into the presynaptic terminus after which the Synaptic vesicles fuse with the membrane of axon terminal

c) Releasing of Arch Quanta - Acetylcholine is released into synaptic cleft which then binds to the receptor sites on motor end plate

d) The Na+/K+ channels opens and Motor end plate becomes depolarized.
