When a neuron responds to a particular neurotransmitter by opening gated ion channels, the neurotransmitter is serving as which

part of the signal pathway?

GrogVix [38]4 years ago

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A) relay molecule

B) transducer

C) signal molecule

D) response molecule

Answer:

C) signal molecule

Explanation:

The transmission of signals in the neurons takes place in the form of electrical energy and chemical energy. The signals get transmitted in the form of electrical signals inside the neurons but when the signals have to be passed on to the next neuron on the pathway then the electrical signals get converted into the chemical signals.

The electrical signals cause the release of the chemical signals molecules called neurotransmitter from the synaptic vesicles in the presynaptic neuron and also opens the gated ion channels at the terminal. The neurotransmitter thus acts as a signal molecule in the transmission of a signal through neurons.

Thus,  C) signal molecule  is the correct answer.

Energy and Matter Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Explain how energy is conserved in cellular respiration. Include in you
wolverine [178]

Answer:

In the organism matter and energy also follows the law of conversion which means energy or matter can not be created or destroyed, it just changes its form in any system.

Cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction that converts chemical energy in the form of the energy that is used by the cell by breaking the complex sugar and other macromolecules into simple and smaller components and release waste products with the energy in ATP (a useable form of energy for the cell).

The energy stored in the bonds of the sugar and other organic molecules take place in this process converted into the chemical bond formed in ATP, is exactly the same only changed its form.

How does the size of a hydrocarbon molecule affect the volatility of crude oil?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Longer hydrocarbon molecules have a stronger intermolecular force. More energy is needed to move them apart so they have higher boiling points . This makes them less volatile and therefore less flammable .
