Answer:

Acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibitors are limiting the hydrolysis process of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, increasing its availability and interaction with specific receptors.

Explanation:

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that aims to stimulate or inhibit the activity of a tissue, by stimulating nicotinic and muscarinic receptors. An example of this is the action of acetylcholine on nicotinic receptors present in the muscle, which promote muscle contraction.

Acetylcholinesterase is responsible for hydrolyzing acetylcholine to make the effect on a receptor end.

In degenerative diseases of the nervous system -such as Alzheimer's- the activity of acetylcholine decreases, so reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are used to limit the neurotransmitter hydrolysis process, increase its bioavailability, and allow the effect of acetylcholine on muscarinic brain receptors.

Arrange the sequence of events for the overall mitochondrial respiratory assembly in the correct order.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Option D, 4,2,1, 3

Explanation:

The mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) comprises of four membrane bound complexes and it involves the following steps

a) RC complexes (RCC) I and II reduces the RC’s equivalent where RCCI i.e receives electron from the NADH.  

b) These electrons are then transferred to the flavin mononucleotide factor and then passed on to the Fe-S embedded cluster .

c) These electron reduces the coenzyme Q  to ubiquinol  

d) With in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), protons are trans located from IMM to the  intermembrane space (IMS)

e) RC complex II then transfer electron from succinate to the cofactor FAD

f) From FAD proton are transferred to the FeS cluster and on the other hand electron move from QH2 to the RC complex III

g) This RC complex III give its electrons to the cytochrome and they are further passes on to the RC complex IV

h) With four redox centers, the terminal RC complex translocate protein by using energy produced in electron transfer thereby converting oxygen into water.

Hence, the correct option is D

Imagine you were going to model the flow of energy in an ecosystem and the flow of elements in the ecosystem using a diagram. Co
klemol [59]
Almost all the energy in ecosystems comes from the sun.<span>Energy is captured by producers and then passed in a linear progression from one trophic level to the next. At each level, much of the energy escapes the ecosystem as heat. Unlike this one-way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems. Elements pass from one organism to another and among parts of the non-living environment through closed loops called biogeochemical cycles.</span>
