Action potential propagation in a skeletal muscle fiber ceases when acetylcholine is removed from the synaptic cleft. Which of t

he following mechanisms ensures a rapid and efficient removal of acetylcholine?a) Acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase.b) Acetylcholine is transported back into the axon terminal by a reuptake mechanism.c) Acetylcholine is transported into the postsynaptic neuron by receptor-mediated endocytosis.d) Acetylcholine diffuses away from the cleft.

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.

AB+CD (reactant~higher on graph) ---> AC+BD (product~lower on graph)
amid [387]

Answer: Option E) the products have less potential energy than the reactants

Explanation:

Though the actual graph is not displayed, but, whenever reactants occupy a position higher than the product on the graph of reaction coordinate vs time taken, it means the reactants (AB+CD) have molecules with higher energy bonds than the products AC +BD

Thus, the reaction of AB + CD to yield AC+BD will occur spontaneously with the release of energy.

On the Galapagos Islands, Darwin observed tortoises with domed and saddle-shaped shells. How did Darwin's observations of these
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The correct answer would be C.  The tortoises provided evidence that different species have adaptations suited to their particular environments.

Darwin observed that how different environment on different island lead to the development of different species as a result of adaptations and natural selection.

For example, tortoise inhabiting well-watered islands which used to have short and cropped vegetation had developed a dome-shaped shell.  

In contrast, the tortoise inhabiting the arid islands had developed saddle-shaped shells. It is because they needed to stretch their necks in order to reach branches of cactus and other vegetation available in the area.  

Consequently, they developed long necks and high peak to the front edges of their shells. It made it possible for them to stretch their heads vertically.

Which statement is not true of endothermic animals?
ahrayia [7]

Hello! Your answer would be C, They regulate body temperature through behavioral mechanisms.

An endothermic animal is one which is capable of maintaining its own body temperature. They do this through physiological mechanisms, which is what the last choice is saying - these involve things such as hormones, sweating, etc.

These endothermic animals are considered warm blooded. This is because they can make their own body heat. Humans and other mammals are endothermic. We generate our own heat - we don't rely on sunbathing or shade to cool down or heat up our <u>internal</u> body temperature.

Hope this helps!
