The Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxins produced by the<em> Clostridium botulinum</em>. This toxin bind to the neuron presynaptically and by the exocytosis it enters in the neuron. It has a greater affinity to Cholinergic receptors as compared to the acetylcholine. Hence, the toxin causes the decrease in the release of the acetylcholine molecules.

As a result of the decreased in the release of the acetylcholine the neuro-transmission is blocked, and due to this the person dies.

Hence, the given statement is true.

<span>Botulinum toxin does not bind to receptors presemt at the axon terminal in order to enter the neuron. It is a neurotoxin protein produced by Clostridium botulinum which is a bacterium. It prevents the release of neurotransmitter from axon endings that results to flaccid paralysis.</span>

kogti [31]

The initial stage of atherosclerosis is characterized by accumulation beneath the endothelium of excessive amounts of ​LDL.

  • The accumulation of lipids, cholesterol, and other chemicals in and on the artery walls is known as atherosclerosis. The accumulation is known as plaque.
  • The build-up of lipids and fibrous components in the major arteries is a hallmark of the degenerative illness known as atherosclerosis. A picture of a typical artery's anatomy can be found in Foam cells, or subendothelial accumulations of cholesterol-engorged macrophages, are the earliest lesions of atherosclerosis.
  • Nitric oxide and prostacyclin are two chemicals that are produced by your endothelium. These maintain the fluid in your blood and stop it from clotting when it shouldn't. These compounds' insufficient production is a symptom of various diseases, which raises your risk of clotting.

Evaluate the procedure used in this experiment by considering the properties used to identify the unknowns and the number of kno
xenn [34]

Answer: Hey! its a fellow classmate from K-12! Alright so what I put for the lab report question is :  The properties used to identify the metals were mass, length, and volume. These were the extensive properties that I used. I would propose to test <u>color, malleability, melting points</u>, and to test how shiny or dull it is. I would propose these to increase the <em>certainty</em> in the identity of the metals.  Btw, please mark me brainliest.

Explanation: When it says evaluate It pretty much means " tell me what you used to figure out the identity of the unknown metals".

The part where it says " propose, revise...blah...blah blah means " How could you increase your chance to get the right metal identity, henceforth saying what properties and tools could we use to make this experiment more better; better chances of getting the right identity of metal.
