Answer:

The correct answer is C) <em>Acetylcholinesterase.</em>

Explanation:

Neurotransmitter release occurs in the neuron axon. The sending neuron has vesicles filled with neurotransmitters in their interior. When an action potential reaches the nervous terminal or the varicosities, it causes the neurotransmitter release by exocytose forward to the synaptic space. The molecule binds to its receptor in the postsynaptic neuron. This receptor is a protein structure that triggers an answer. As long as the acetylcholine is in the synaptic space, it keeps linking to its receptor and causing a postsynaptic answer. To stop this process, the neurotransmitter must be taken out from the synaptic space. There are two mechanisms by which the neurotransmitter can be eliminated:

  • <em>Enzymatic degradation/deactivation</em>: In the synaptic space, there is a specific enzyme called Acetylcholinesterase that can inactivate the neurotransmitter by breaking or degrading it. In this case, the new molecule won’t be able to bind to the neurotransmitter receptor.
  • <em>Reuptake</em>: There are receptors located in the presynaptic membrane that can capture de molecule to store it back in new vesicles, for posterior use.

According to the pie chart, which cause results in the most extinctions?
Sophie [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B.introduced species

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Animals become extinct for a number of reasons. Currently many animals are endangered or have become extinct due to human activities or human influence.</u></em>
  • Extinctions may be caused by reasons;<em><u> such as pollution; loss of habitat due to human activities such as agriculture, introduced species, hunting and poaching for meat and other animal products such as feathers, horns and skins, and also over-harvesting among other influences.</u></em>
  • In this question; <em><u>Introduced species occupies the largest percentage, that is 39%, from the pie chart (Attached).</u></em>
  • Hunting and poaching; 23 %, Habitat loss; 26%, and Others; 2%.

View the animation below, then complete the quiz to test your knowledge of the concept. conducting of the heart
valina [46]
1. In the heart, an action potential originates in the (E) sinoatrial node.
The cardiac action potential is a term referring to the change in the membrane potential of heart cells causing the heart to contract. Cardiac action potentials are created by a group of specialized cells capable of generating automatic action potentials and are located in the right atrium of the heart. These cells are called sinoatrial node and sometimes are referred to as the natural pacemaker of the heart. This characterization originates from the fact that sinoatrial node continuously provides action potential and sets the rhythm of the heart function.

2. The sequence of travel by an action potential through the heart is (A) sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, atrioventricular bundle, bundle branches, Purkinje fibers.
As explained above, the cardiac action potential originates from the sinoatrial node. This action potential then travels through the atrioventricular node, which belongs to the electrical conduction system of the heart and is located between the atria and the ventricles. It is responsible for the electrical connection between the right atrium and the right ventricle. The action potential then travels to the atrioventricular bundle (or bundle of His), another part of the electrical conduction system of the heart. The atrioventricular bundle transmits the electrical impulses from the atrioventricular node to the bundle branches. The bundle branches then send the signal to the Purkinje fibers which send the electrical impulses to the ventricles, causing them to contract. 

3. The correct answer is A.
The generation of an action potential in the sinoatrial node causes the contraction of the atria. When the action potential passes from the sinoatrial node to the atrioventricular node, it slows down. This causes the transport of the electrical impulse from the atria to the ventricles to slow down. This delay enables the blood (from the contraction of the atria) to fill the ventricles before their contraction. 

4. This statement is true.
The interventricular septum is a structure which divides the two ventricles of the heart and it is composed of two branches, the left bundle and the right bundle branch. When the action potential reaches the interventricular septum, it then travels to the apex of the heart from where it travels upwards along the walls of the ventricles and the ventricular contraction begins.

5. This statement is true.  
The bundle branches gradually become Purkinje fibers located in the interior of the ventricular walls. Purkinje fibers are specialized cells and are responsible for conducting cardiac action potentials from the bundle branches to the ventricular walls. This signal transduction causes the muscle of the ventricular walls to contract.
