Neurotransmitters are released from axon terminals via _______. A. osmosis B. active transport C. diffusion D. exocytosis
Nutka1998 [239]

The correct option is D

Neurotransmitters are released from axon terminals via exocytosis.

A neurotransmitter is stored inside synaptic vesicles which is a small sac-like structure. It is released into the synaptic cleft from axon terminals when a cell membrane fuses with vesicles. This process is termed exocytosis with the capability to release neurotransmitters in less than a millisecond.

In neurons of the nervous system, synaptic vesicle exocytosis occurs. Nerve cells communicate by electrical or chemical signals called neurotransmitters which are passed from one neuron to the next one. This transmission of neurotransmitters occurs by exocytosis.

The fundamental biological events of neurotransmission are dependent on neuronal communication and brain function including exocytosis of presynaptic vesicles which is for the release of neurotransmitters and the subsequent endocytosis.

1. Explain the function of white blood cells in the body.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:1. White blood cells are part of the body's immune system. They help the body fight infection and other diseases.

2. Red blood cells have adaptations that make them suitable for this.

3. The blood would not clot in case of an injury.

4. Blood supplies essential substances and nutrients.

Explanation: 1. White blood cells are able to recognize viruses and/or infectious germs, which is how they fight off disease/sickness. It is also why we have vaccines. Vaccines put either dead or weakened parts of a germ into your body. Then, the white blood cells recognize it and fight it off the next time it enters your body.

2. They contain hemoglobin, a red protein that combines with oxygen. They have no nucleus so they can contain more of the hemoglobin. they are small and flexible so that they can fit through narrow blood vessels.

3. This will lead to excess blood loss and can even lead to the death.

4. Such as as sugar, oxygen, and hormones to our cells. It also carries waste away from the cells, this waste is eventually flushed out of the body in urine, feces, sweat, and lungs.

What are glaciers? A glacier is a huge mass of ice that moves slowly over land.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

What do they look like?

Glaciers look like solid blocks of ice.

What climate do they exist in?

Regions that have high snowfall in winter and cool temperatures in summer.

Where can you find them?

Most of the world's glacial ice is found in Antarctica and Greenland, but glaciers are found on nearly every continent, even Africa.

What do you think we can learn from glaciers?

Glaciers preserve bits of atmosphere from thousands of years ago in these tiny air bubbles, or, deeper within the core, trapped within the ice itself. This is one way scientists know that there have been several Ice Ages. Scientists are also finding that glaciers reveal clues about global warming.

(The last question is unclear to me, so I'm going to take a guess as to what you meant)

Why is sea ice so important?

Arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate global climate.

I hope this helps!! :3
