Explanation:
In neurology, postganglionic nerve fibers are autonomic nerve fibers from the ganglion to the effector organ. These, unlike preganglionic fibers (whose sole neurotransmitter is acetylcholine) have a variety of neurotransmitters to fulfill their functions.
Neurotransmitters
The neurotransmitters of postganglionic fibers are varied, and are distributed as follows:
In the parasympathetic nervous system, neurons are cholinergic (Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter)
In the sympathetic nervous system, neurons are mostly adrenergic (norepinephrine-epinephrine and / or norepinephrine, both have the same chemical structure, but epinephrine has a methyl group unlike norepinephrine that has a hydrogen, instead of a methyl group - act as the primary neurotransmitter) Two exceptions to this are the sympathetic innervation of the sweat glands and the piloerector muscles where the neurotransmitter in both pre and post ganglionic synapses is acetylcholine and in the vessels of the renal cortex where dopamine is used as the main neurotransmitter. Another exception is the sympathetic innervation of the medulla of the adrenal gland, which is innervated by preganglionic fibers, and subsequently uses acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter. Adrenal medulla cells are, in fact, modified postganglionic neurons that secrete epinephrine and norepinephrine directly into the bloodstream rather than a synapse.
In both divisions of the autonomic nervous system, postganglionic neurons express nicotinic acetylcholine receptors to receive signals from preganglionic neurons.
Answer:
Two processes were described in this question, hence, the location of the two processes are as follows:
synthesize energy-rich organic molecules- CHLOROPLAST
Break them down to extract energy- MITOCHONDRIA
Explanation:
Plant cells are unique cells capable of synthesizing their own food via a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. The process of photosynthesis, which occurs in an organnelle called CHLOROPLAST, synthesizes a sugar (glucose), which is an energy-rich organic molecules i.e. it stores energy in its chemical bonds.
However, to harness the usable form of energy stored in the chemical bonds of Glucose, the cells need to break down the glucose molecule. Plant cells break down glucose in a process called CELLULAR RESPIRATION in order to convert the stored energy in Glucose to a usable form called ATP. This extraction of ATP molecule needed for every life process of the plant cell is carried out in another organnelle called MITOCHONDRION.
Explanation:
Surprisingly, until recently, not much was known about the genes that control melanin production. 6 were known (MC1R, TYR, OCA2, SLC24A5, MATP and ASIP) and 17 more have been recently identified (DTNBP1, GPR143, HPS3, KITGL, MLPH, MYO5A, MYO7A, SLC45A2, TYRP1, ERCC6, GNAS, HERC2, IRF4, OBSCN, SKC24A5, TPNC2 and MITF), all of them directly or indirectly related to the process of melanin formation and distribution. Since there are so many different genes, if we count all the possible alterations, many different color variants can be produced.
Answer:
According to cell theory, all multicellular organisms are composed of prokaryotic cells. only cells like the eukaryote can carry out the functions of life. single celled organisms like these are only capable of asexual reproduction. even primitive cells, like the prokaryote, can carry out the functions of life..
Explanation:
A single piece of coiled DNA is called a plasmid.
