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.

Explain why there is usually more water vapor in expired air then inspired air​
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The result is that the exhaled air contains less oxygen and more carbon dioxide than the inhaled air. ... In fact, exhaled air is completely saturated with water – it contains the maximum amount of moisture, and is therefore has a relative humidity of 100%. We lose water as we breathe!

Why are the seminal vesicles important for human reproduction?

This might help:

The seminal vesicles (Latin: glandulae vesiculosae), vesicular glands, or seminal glands, are a pair of simple tubular glands posteroinferior to the urinary bladder of some male mammals. Seminal vesicles are located within the pelvis. They secrete fluid that partly composes the semen.

They pass through the prostate, and open into the urethra at the seminal colliculus. During ejaculation, semen passes through the prostate gland, enters the urethra and exits the body via the urinary meatus.

I believe that the answer is:

A. 

They allow the sperm to travel to the urethra to be released.
