Action potential in a motor neuron triggers the release of what neurotransmitter?

Biology

vodomira [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Action potential in a motor neuron triggers the release of acetylcholine (ACh) neurotransmitter.

Explanation:

Acetylcholine: It is a neurotransmitter released by motor neurons which bind to the receptors end plates of the motor. When an action potential travel down the motor neuron's axon, neurotransmitter release occurs resulting in an influx of calcium and altered permeability of the synaptic terminal membrane.

The Ca2+ ions allow synaptic vesicles to move and bind with the presynaptic membrane which is present on the neuron and released neurotransmitter from the vesicles into the synaptic cleft. Once it's released ACh diffusion occurs across the synaptic cleft to the motor end plate, and binds with ACh receptor. As the neurotransmitter ACh binds, these ions channel open and sodium ions cross the membrane into the muscle cells.

In this phase reduction of voltage inside and outside the cell occurs, which is known as depolarization. When ACh binds to the motor end plate this depolarization is known as end plate potential. Then depolarization spread with the sarcolemma and creating an action potential. This action potential moves the entire cell and creating a wave of depolarization.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

mitochondria and chloroplasts

Explanation:

the theory says that the bacteria which used oxygen and changed it to ATP molecules changed into mitochondria and those that used light energy to manufacture their own food changed into chloroplasts.this happened after the small prokaryotes which were bacteria were engulfed by the bigger prokaryotes of which some managed to survive and lived together through symbiosis hence the evolution to mitochondria and chloroplasts creating a eukaryotic cell.

Two pure lines of four-o'clock plants, one with red flowers and the other with white flowers, are crossed. The F1 progeny all ar
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

<h2>Incomplete dominance</h2>

Explanation:

As given here;

Two pure line of four-o'clock plant, one having red flower and other having white flower, when they are crossed, they produce all pink progeny.

So, lets red as RR and white as rr

Cross between RR and rr

Here all offspring are Rr ( Pink ).

It's the result of incomplete dominance, in complete dominance the offspring is the intermediate of both the parents.

F2 generation:

As cross between Rr and Rr

progeny are: RR, Rr, Rr, rr

RR =red

Rr= pink

rr= white

So,  red: pink: white = 25:50:25

5. Define transpiration, what problem occurs when stomata<br> open?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and it’s evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, storms and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by roots is used for growth and metabolis.

Water loss is a problem that occurs.

Explanation:

While an open stoma is neccesary for the plant to undergo photosynthesis, it comes with a negative side effect: water loss. Over 95% of a plant’s water loss occurs through the storm via water vapor.

What is the correct order of stages of technological design
jasenka [17]
1) Identify the problem

2) Design a solution or product

3) Implement the design

4) Evaluate the product/solution

First start with making observations, and decide on the problem. You want to generate ideas, look and decide your limits, then create a solution or product. Then, build your product/solution, and put it to the test. Did it work? Identify the pros and cons of your product/solution, and decide what you could do better to improve your design.
