Tetrodotoxin, also known as "zombie powder" is synthesized by the puffer fish as a defense mechanism. Tetrodotoxin's mechanism o

f action is to block voltage-gated sodium (Na ) channels in motor neurons, thus preventing them from transmitting action potentials. This will render the muscle unable to contract due to lack of stimulation.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Tetrodotoxin is the molecules that act as a poison to the organism in which they are injected.

The tetrodotoxin proves lethal to the organisms as it kills the organism by interfering with the nervous system. The tetrodotoxin blocks the sodium channels in the neuron as a result of which the sodium is unable to enter the neurons and hence the electrical impulse is not generated.

If the tetrodotoxin blocks the motor neuron transmission by blocking the sodium channels then the signals will not reach the muscle and muscle will not be able to contract.

Thus, true is correct.

Why can two igneous rocks have the same minerals but different names?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The rocks may have different textures

Explanation:

If we have to igneous rocks, and they have the same minerals, that doesn't necessarily means that they will have the same name, thus being classified as the same rock. The reason for this is that the two igneous rocks may have a different texture. One of the rocks may have a foliated, while the other may have porphyritic, giving them different appearance despite the same minerals being in both of them. The reason why two igneous rocks with the same minerlas may appear different, is the process in which they have been formed, the quickness of the cooling, the temperature that they were exposed to, and the pressure they were exposed to.
