The correct answer is:

C. It acts as both a stimulant and a sedative

Explanation:

Once the nicotine is in the brain it stimulates receptors called cholinergic receptors. These receptors are adequate in other areas of the body such as the muscles, heart, adrenal glands, and other important organs. Nevertheless, these receptors are usually activated when they bind to a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which is produced in nerve endings of the brain and in the nerves of the PNS. Unlike acetylcholine, nicotine enters the brain and prevents its regular functioning.

Beta adrenergic receptor-blocking drugs are often called beta-blockers. These drugs prevent the hormone epinephrine from binding
anastassius [24]

All the steps of GPCR signaling would be prevented in the presence of a beta-blocker drug.

<h3>What is Beta-blocker?</h3>

Beta-blocker may be defined as a kind of medication that chokes the activity of substances, such as adrenaline, on nerve cells and provokes blood vessels to relax and dilate.

Adrenergic receptors choke the attachment of catecholamine that is epinephrine to the G-protein. G-protein activates adenylyl cyclase which in turn activates protein kinase A.

But when the beta-blocker drug is subjected to this pathway, it blocks the attachment of the hormone to their receptors, hence none of the pathway or steps would be carried forward. This is because signaling is not initiated.

Therefore, all the steps of GPCR signaling would be prevented in the presence of a beta-blocker drug.

Produces lightning in a thunderstorm
balandron [24]

Answer:

Lightning is an electric current. Within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice (frozen raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges.
