Answer:The correct order is:

Ion channels - synaptic vesicle - neurotransmitter - end plate potential.

Explanation: A neuromuscular junction is the point where a motor neuron meets with a skeletal muscle fiber which it innervates.

It is the site where a chemical interaction or communication between a motor neuron and a muscle cell occurs. For transmission of impulses to occur between a neuron and a muscle cell, an action potential from the motor neuron travels along the axon of the neuron to the presynaptic terminal of the neuron where it activates voltage gated calcium ion channels which causes the influx of calcium ions into the intracellular space of the neuron. The calcium ions bind to the sensor proteins that are located on the synaptic vesicles and trigger the release of the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitter moves from the synaptic cleft and binds to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane of the muscle cell. The binding of the neurotransmitter to its receptors creates end plate potential which causes the skeletal muscle fibers to depolarise.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

I want to say the answer is Form a hypothesis

I say this because a hypothesis is one of the first things you do when conducting an experiment and when forming a hypothesis you use the format "if...then....because". You are giving a possible answer to your question before you actually perform the experiment. I hope this helped.

increases in insulin increase co2 production in liver and brain but not adipose tissue true or false?

olganol [36]

The correct answer is false. Insulin speeds up glucose transport across cell membranes and promotes glycogen synthesis and slows down glycogen breakdown.

Adipokines, proinflammatory substances, and free fatty acids are released by adipose tissue, an endocrine organ that affects both glucose and lipid metabolism. These substances reduce muscle ATP synthesis and glucose metabolism, encourage the synthesis of harmful lipid metabolites, and change insulin signaling. Insulin affects adipose tissue in two ways: 1) by increasing glucose absorption and triglyceride synthesis, and 2) by reducing triglyceride hydrolysis and the release of FFA and glycerol into the bloodstream. Elevated plasma FFA levels have been demonstrated to impair muscle insulin signaling, promote hepatic gluconeogenesis, and impair glucose-stimulated insulin response. Adipose tissue insulin resistance, which is the impaired suppression of lipolysis in the presence of high insulin levels, has been linked to glucose intolerance.

Why would an unprotected traveler's blood boil in the mesosphere?

eduard

An unprotected traveler's blood would boil at normal body temperatures because the pressure is so low. Temperatures in the mesophere decreases with altitude, because there are few gas molecules in the mesophere to absorb the sun's radiation, the heat source is the stratosphere below. The air in the mesophere has extremely low density and as a result the air pressure is very low.
