What is a nerve synapse, and what role do neurotransmitters play in in a synapse

Biology
1 answer:
Jobisdone [24]3 years ago
3 0
In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target effector cell.——————Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission. It is a type of chemical messenger which transmits signals across a chemical synapse, such as a neuromuscular junction, from one neuron (nerve cell) to another "target" neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell.

List molar concentrations (0.0 M, 0.2 M, etc.) at which water entered the potato strips. Why did water move into the potato stri
kati45 [8]

Answer:

- Water entered the potato strips because the potato cells contained higher concentration of solutes than its external environment.

- The solutions are hypotonic to the solution in the potato cells.

Explanation:

According to osmosis, water will move from a region where it is high in concentration to that region where it is low in concentration. However, a region with high solute concentration contains a low water concentration and vice versa.

Hence, according to this question, water is said to move into potato strips from solutions of molar concentrations like 0.0M, 0.2M etc. Water moved into the potato strips because potato cells contained higher concentration of solutes than its external environment. This means that the external solutions are HYPERTONIC i.e. low in solute concentration to the solution in the potato strips.

In two or more complete sentences, describe an activity you perform that has an impact on climate change? Is it positive or nega
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Burning of woods has a negative impact on the climate.

Explanation:

Burning of woods for heating has a negative impact on our climate because it releases carbondioxide gas which is a greenhouse gas that trapped the reflected solar radiation and leads to global warming. We have to used alternative methods for heating such as electric heater instead of burning of wood which produce no pollution and can fulfill the requirement of heating so from the above discussion we can say that the activity has a negative impact on the environment.

The lifetime of an intracellular signaling molecule must be short for the cell to be able to cause a change in the concentration
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Statement B is false.

Explanation:

PKA and PKG is both have binding domains to attach with nucleoside monophosphate and help in modulating these enzymes that explains that PKA is more related to the PKG than PKC at the level of amino acid.

At the level of  polypeptide chain level PKG has single polypeptide chain whereas in PKA modulatory domains are located on different poly peptide chain. Both are activated by the nucluoside triphosphate, more precisely PKA by cAMP and PKG is by cGMP respectively, whereas PKC is activated by DAG or Ca or both depending on the isofom.

Thus, the correct answer is - option B.
