Answer:

E. Merkel cells.

Explanation:

Merkel cells are located in the deepest layer of the epidermis. These cells are in contact with the flattened process of a sensory neuron. These flat processes are called a tactile disc or Merkel disc. Merkel discs are slowly adapting touch receptors. These receptors are specifically abundant in fingertips, lips and external genitalia. Markel cells and their associated Merkel discs are involved in the detection of touch sensations. They respond to respond to continuous touch such as holding an object in hand for long and help in distinct detection of shapes and texture of various objects.

Prior to neurotransmitter release, vesicles are transported to specialized regions of the presynaptic terminal called _______ zo
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The correct answers are: Synaptic Active Zones, Exocytosis.

Explanation:

  • An impulse after travelling along the dendrites, cell body and axon of a neuron reaches the axon endings in the form of an action potential (signal transmitted by the activation of voltage gated sodium and potassium channels present on the plasma membrane of the neurons).
  • At the axon ending or the pre-synaptic region, the action potential triggers the opening of the voltage dependent calcium channels, that promotes the influx of calcium ions into the pre-synaptic region of the neuron.
  • This process triggers the fusion of the neuro-transmitter carrying vesicles with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neuron.
  • As a result of fusion the neurotransmitter is released into the synaptic cleft.
  • At the pre-synaptic region of the neuron, there is a huge concentration of neuro-transmitter carrying vesicles which remain adhered to proteins called CAZ (cytomatrix at the active zone) proteins. These proteins help the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles to remain tethered or docked to the pre-synaptic membrane in the axon terminal of the neuron. They together form the Synaptic Active Zone.
  • In response to calcium ion influx these proteins help the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles to fuse with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neural axon and release the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.
  • The process of fusion of the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neural axon followed by the release of the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft is known as Exocytosis.

How are larger macromolecules formed from atoms of smaller molecules?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Most macromolecules are made from single subunits, or building blocks, called monomers. The monomers combine with each other using covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. In doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts.
