Mitochondrion
Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions.
25% is the probability of a homozygous recessive offspring if both parents are heterozygous.
Answer:
c) methyltransferase. DNAse.
Explanation:
The way DNA is folded can affect gene expression, or which genes are turned on. When the chromosomes are tightly condensed, the DNA is wrapped very tightly which makes it difficult for transcription factors to bind to the DNA.
Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
a. Presynaptic; Ca2+ ions
b. Postsynaptic; Ca2+ ions.
c. postsynaptic; neurotransmitters
d. presynaptic; neurotransmitters
e. dendritic; neurotransmitters
The correct answer is d. Tetrahydrocannabinol, the active ingredient in marijuana, binds to receptors located in the <u>presynaptic</u> terminals of certain brain neurons. It lowers the likelihood that these neurons will release <u>neurotransmitters</u>
.
Explanation:
Tetrahydrocannabinol is the most abundant cannabinoid in most cannabis varieties and has the most potent psychoactive effect. Conventional neurotransmitters are water-soluble substances stored in small vesicles at the thin ends of the axon (presynaptic terminals). When a neuron generates an impulse by sending an electrical signal along the axon to the presynaptic terminals, the neurotransmitters are released from the vesicles, diffuse through a narrow intercellular space (synaptic cleft) and interact with the receptors on the surface of the recipient neuron (postsynaptic neuron). Cannabinoids cause a decrease in the release of neurotransmitters from the presynaptic terminal through the inhibition of Ca++ channels. This signaling is mediated by the βγ subunit of the G protein. The βγ subunit of the G protein inhibits the Ca channels of type N and P / Q, which are the majority in presynaptic neurons.
