The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Question:  When a neuron responds to a particular neurotransmitter by opening gated ion channels, the neurotransmitter is serving as which part of the signal pathway?

A) relay molecule

B) transducer

C) signal molecule

D) response molecule

Answer:

C) signal molecule

Explanation:

Signaling cells produce specific chemicals or compounds called signaling molecules. These signaling molecules arrive at their target cells and bind to the cell surface or intracellular receptors. Binding of the signaling molecules to their receptors present on the target cells is followed by signal transduction and production of desired response by the target cells.  

Neurotransmitters serve as signal molecules that bind to the receptors present on the membranes of the postsynaptic neurons to bring about changes in the membrane potential. Their binding may trigger the opening of the gated ion channels resulting in a change in the membrane potential followed by generation of inhibitory or excitatory responses.

The organismal theory teaches that _____.
natita [175]

Answer:

A. the basic unit of life is the organism

Explanation:

According to the organismal theory, organisms are the basic unit of life. The organismal theory contradicts the cell theory of life. The organismal theory states that some of the organisms do not have distinct cells. For example, fungi.

Since the cells in the multicellular organisms are interconnected by one or other means, organisms are the structural unit of life; not the cells.

The organismal theory states that irrespective of the level of body organization present in an organism, all the components such as cells, tissues, organs, etc. work together to facilitate growth and development of whole organisms.

Use what you know about natural selection to fill in the blanks in the hypothesis.It should answer the lab question what is the
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be -

If the type of food available changes, then the frequency of beak also changes because the beak of the bird suited to food will survive successfully.

Explanation:

According to the theory of natural selection, an organism that is able to adapt according to the change in the environment, it helps in their survival and increases their number in the system.

It is given that the type of food available is changing, so it will lead to the change in the frequency of bird beaks in that particular area. So, if they adapt to survive under the changes in the available food type, otherwise not be able to survive and die.

So,

If the type of food available changes, then the frequency of beak also changes because the beak of the bird suited to food will survive successfully.
