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.

Answer:

b the turgor pressure will increase but the cell wall prevents the cell from exploding

Explanation:

The plant cells are exposed in a change of pressure liquid depending the quantity of solids that are inside and outside the cell. Like in this case, the hypotonic solution is the one that has less solids outside the cell, that is the reason why the water enters the cell to equilibrate the concentration of solids inside and outside the cell.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Viruses are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.
