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

Biology
1 answer:
Jobisdone [24]4 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.

A third species of kangaroo rat is introduced into the habitats of the two species from Question 5. If this third species is bio
DochEvi [55]

Both species would share both habitats because their niches would be different and competition would thus be eliminated.

A habitat is an area where an organism/species makes its home, which can be represented by all the resources present in that area. Conversely, a niche is the role of a particular species/organism within an environment. In consequence, a niche refers to the position of the organism/species within its community as a consequence of its adaptations, which is unrelated to the physical area it occupies.

In other words, the term habitat indicates how the environment impacts the organism/species while the term niche indicates how the organism/species impacts the environment.

Competitive exclusion indicates that two or more species can't have the same niche in a particular habitat and coexist. In this case, both species can coexist because they share habitats but their niches are different (it occurs when species have restricted diets and therefore their niches do not overlap).
