Parkinson disease is a progressive loss of motor function due to the degeneration of specific neurons. These neurons secrete an

inhibitory neurotransmitter that prevents excessive activity in motor centers of the brain. What neurotransmitter is this?

Answer:

Dopamine

Explanation:

Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative, progressive disorder that affects nerve cells in parts of the brain called the basal ganglia and the substantia nigra.

The neurotransmitter dopamine is produced by nerve cells in the substantia nigra and these nerve cells function in relaying information from the brain that plan and control body movement. In Parkinson's disease, the dopamine-producing nerve cells of the substantia nigra begin to die off . Symptoms such as tremor, impaired movement, stiffness, and balance problems occur when the loss of nerve cells is about 80%

What type of fat is necessary for normal bodily function and includes lipids incorporated into nerves and organs?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Sphingolipids

Explanation:

They are derived from aliphatic amino alcohol sphingosine and functions in protecting the nerves in the central nervous system. Sphingolipids includes group of lipids called glycolipids and sphingomyelin. Just like phospholipids they have polar heads and two non-polar tails together with proteins, forms a myelin sheath. They  insulate the nerves and causes quick transmission of electrical impulse amongst organs contributing to normal bodily functions.

enyata [817]
Cytochalasin D prevents the addition of monomers at plus ends of existing filaments. When the concentration of G-actin in the cytosol is below the critical concentration, the loss of monomers at <span>minus ends</span> of existing filaments eventually results in their shortening. This occurs despite the pool of available G-actin in the cytosol.

If the surface area of a cell that is shaped like a cube increases 100 times, its volume increases about (1 point).
bixtya [17]

1. Answer;

1000 times

If the surface area of a cell that is shaped like a cube increases 100 times, its volume increases about 1000 times.

Explanation;

If the surface are increases 100 times it means that the side of a cube has increased by a scale factor of 10, therefore, the volume of the cube will increase about 1000 times ( 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000).

2. Answer;

Moving needed materials in and waste products out.

Explanation;

Large cells have more trouble moving materials that are needed in the cell and wastes products out of the cell, as compared to small cells.

The volume of large cells is so large, the surface area, by comparison, is relatively small, thus large cells have a small surface are to volume ratio, compared to small cells which have a large surface area to volume ratio, which makes the transportation of substances into and out of the cells extremely efficient compared to large cell.
