Answer:

a) Acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase.

Explanation:

After it binds for its receptor on the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic cell, acetylcholine must be removed in order to prevent repeated stimulation. Acetylcholinesterase is enzyme for the inactivation of acetylcholine, present at all cholinergic synapses. This enzyme hydrolyses acetylcholine and breaks it to the acetate and choline. Choline can be reused for the synthesis of the new acetylcholine molecule so it is taken back into the presynaptic cell.

Explain how a nymph grows or the molting process used for growing.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

As insect nymphs grow larger, their exoskeleton becomes too tight and they must replace it. Once a nymph outgrows its exoskeleton it will go through a process called molting, in which it leaves the old “skin” or exoskeleton behind. The new “skin” will harden and become the new exoskeleton
