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

Biology
1 answer:
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.

What would need to happen for copper not to not exsist anymore.
san4es73 [151]

Electricity could be discovered using batteries based on zinc or lead, but without copper wiring it would remain little more than a scientific curiosity. Electric motors and generators require large amount of wiring, so they are impossible to build on large scale in this world

Several fish species became extinct millions of years ago. The graphs provided below show the distribution of fossils of these f
cestrela7 [59]
1. Explain why the distribution of fossils in Figure 1 supports the hypothesis that the extinction of these species was the result of a sudden environmental change.
This hypothesis can be supported because all the fossils accumulate almost at the same age of the rock layer. That is, all the fossils died almost at the same time.

2. Describe an environmental change that could have produced this type of fossil distribution.
Good examples of sudden environmental changes are volcanoes. When a rash occurs, the whole environment suddenly changes for different reasons such as ash or lava, and all living things can die immediately or in a few years by the change in the ecosystem.

3. Explain why the distribution of fossils in Figure 2 supports the hypothesis that the extinction of these species was the result of a gradual environmental change.
This is because the fossils accumulate at different ages of the rock layer, that means, the species dying over time. The gradual descent of the fossils is observed.

4. Describe an environmental change that could produce this type of fossil distribution.
For example, if a climate change occurs - the temperature increases or decreases - it can cause the trees or plants to die and all the animals in the ecosystem also die when they have no food. But this process is sequential, so the change can take years, centuries or even millions of years.

I hope this can help you.

Which of the following would make the best index fossil?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: I would go with B. Here’s why: An index fossil is usually easily recognizable, and underwent a wide geographic distribution. What leads me to believe B is the correct answer, is because it’s something that existed “ all over the world”.
