The pathway between the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the Nucleus Accumbens is critical for the addiction process because lesions to this pathway eliminate addiction. It is a part of the brain.
<h3>What is the nucleus accumbens?</h3>
The nucleus accumbens refers to a part of the forebrain located in the hypothalamus.
The nucleus accumbens is an interface between motivation (i.e., stimuli) and the corresponding action (response).
The nucleus accumbens is fundamental in different responses such as, for example, rewards, stressful situations, drug behavior, etc.

Answer:
similarity
Starch, cellulose,dextran and glycogen are all polymers of glucose
differences
monomer/glucose glycosidic bond branching
1.starch α glucose 1-4 and 1-6 branch and unbranced
amylose 1-4 unbranched
amylopectin 1-4 and 1-6 branched
2. dextran α glucose 1-6 branched
3. cellulose β glucose 1-4 unbranched, linear
4. glycogen α glucose 1-4 and 1-6 branched (shorter
branches than starch)
Enzyme: amlase acts on starch and cellulase acts on cellulose as they are specific for their substrates.
Explanation:
Starch: Consists of both branched amylopectin and unbranched amylose
Enzymes: Enzymes are specific as the gulcose molecule in starch is α and in cellulose is β which differ in their position of hydroxyl groups at anomeric carbon, their structures differ so they form different bonds. Active sites of enzymes can act only on specific bonds a sthey can fit to their specific substrates.
DNA and RNA both contain a cyclic nitrogenous base, a posphate group and a five-carbon sugar. These are the base units of nucleotides which make up nucleic acids. DNA contains the nitrogenous bases; adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine wheresas RNA contains the bases; adenine, thymine, cytosine and urasil. DNA codes for the nucleotides in an RNA molecule, whereas DNA codes for the amino acid sequence in a protein
B) carbohydrates
[: The chemical change that occurs in the leaves of green plants. It uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Oxygen is produced as a by-product of photosynthesis. ] [: A type of carbohydrate.
