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.

1.How would you differentiate your heart rate before and after exercising?
KATRIN_1 [288]
Your heart rate before exercising would probably be the at rest rate of say about 50-60 beats per minute whereas immediately after exercise it could easily be say 115-130 and depending on age there is an optimum heart rate for each age range which decreases somewhat with age. Timing for a full minute your heart rate is best as it will give the actual count whereas if you just do it for 10 seconds and then multply by 6  it would assume it will be consistent whereas it could decrease during the minute so the actual measured count for a full minute is more accurate.

Why does ice cause water vapor to condense?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Once water vapor is in the atmosphere, low temperatures cause the vapor to either condense into a liquid or undergo deposition to form ice crystals. Water droplets can form clouds from the atmosphere.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

1. Mr. Shepherd maintain a relative constant body temperature by preventing loss of heat.

2 This process is called HOMEOSTASIS

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the process whereby living organisms maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in conditions to the external environment. It is necessary that the body undergoes this process in order to guarantee survival.

According to this question, Mr. Shepherd is at a football game on a cold day. This means that in order to maintain a stable internal temperature, the body must preserve heat in the body and prevent its loss via sweating.
