Answer:

Naloxone is an antagonist at opioid receptors and heroin is an agonist at opioid receptors

Explanation:

An agonist is a substance that binds to a receptor and causes a biological reaction. In this case, heroine binds to opioid receptors. An antagonist blocks the reaction from the agonist, impeding the receptor's activation. Agonists and antagonists work for specific receptors, and for an antagonist to block an agonist they must bind to the same receptor, like naloxone does with heroin. Giving an antagonist that binds to one receptor and and agonist that binds to a different one means that the antagonist will have no effect.

The fishes, just like any other living organisms has ideal body temperature and pH at which they act best. The ideal pH for fish living in lake water is between 6 and 8. If the pH is reduced below this value then the water will become acidic and this will be toxic for the fish population living in the lakes. Therefore, those fish that can not cope will die and there will be a decrease in the fish populations.

How do the products and reactants of a chemical change compare?
steposvetlana [31]
The correct answer for this question is "<span>The mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants because the same matter is present."

All chemical reactions follow the Law of Conservation of Mass which states that mass cannot be created nor destroyed. This means that mass is constant before and after a process. If ever it seems like the mass is not the same, it is possible that the missing mass was converted to something else.</span>
