The binding of the neurotransmitter to receptors on the motor end plate causes which of the following to occur?

1 answer:

5 0

The correct answer is: Binding of the neurotransmitter causes chemically gated sodium channels to open in the motor end plate (junctional folds of the sarcolemma) and sodium enters the cell.

Action potential travels through the membrane of the presynaptic cell causing the voltage-gated channels permeable to calcium ions to open. Ca2+ flow through the presynaptic membrane and increase the Ca concentration in the cell which will activate proteins attached to vesicles that contain a neurotransmitter (e.g. acetylcholine). Vesicles fuse with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, thereby release their contents into the synaptic cleft-space between the membranes of the pre- and postsynaptic cells. Neurotransmitter ACh binds to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and its binding causes depolarization of the target cell (muscle cell). Depolarization occurs because sodium enters the cell as a result of neurotransmitter receptor binding.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Patient 1 has Type A blood because agglutination occurs due to reaction with anti-B. We know that A blood group has antigen A and it is anti-B means that they attack on B type of blood cells while on the other hand, B blood group has antigen B and it is anti-A means that they will attack on the A type blood cells upon mixing. So according to the chart, there is nothing happens by reaction of the blood with anti-A whereas agglutination occur by reaction with anti-B so we can say that the patient has type A blood.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

C. Reactant and product concentrations in the test tube are different from those in the cell.

Explanation:

Cells convert some of the energy from ATP hydrolysis in to different forms of energy other than heat. ATP energy does not always generate more heat. Many times, energy is used for different purposes.
