Answer:

latent.

Explanation:

When a muscle gets a stimulus, there is a lag in the start of a contraction. This delay in muscle contraction after the application of stimulus is called the latent period. During the latent period, the calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the action potential sweeps over sarcolemma as a neurotransmitter is released in synaptic cleft and bind to its receptors present on the postsynaptic membrane.

The latent period is followed by a contraction period. The latent period mostly lasts for 2 milliseconds. The contraction period is marked by binding of calcium ions to troponin and exposure of myosin binding site on actin and formation of the cross bridge. This is followed by a relaxation period.

Some of the drugs used to treat hiv patients are competitive inhibitors of the hiv reverse transcriptase enzyme. unfortunately,
REY [17]
Such changes would occur mostly likely near or in the active binding site of the enzyme.
Because the drugs used are competitive inhibitors of the <span>HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme, it means that they connect directly to the active binding site of this enzyme not allowing it to preform its function. If the mutations impede this drugs to work, it is probably because they alter the active binding site of the enzyme, not allowing the drug to bind and have its competitive behaviour permitting the enzyme to work normally. </span><span /><span>

Which molecule is a first messenger but not a second messenger
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Hormones act as first messenger but not as second messengers.

Explanation:

Second messenger act as signaling molecule which are secreted in response to various biological signals generated by first messenger such as hormones,neurotransmitters etc.Second messengers include various bioactive molecules such as cyclic AMP(cAMP),cyclic GMP(cGMP),inositol triphosphate(IP3),diacylglycerol(DAG),calcium ions(Ca2+) etc.

         Hormones are extracellular signaling molecules whereas second messengers are intracellular signaling molecules.
