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.

Is it easy for breeders to produce mutants?
Eva8 [605]
It depends! If we're talking about something like a cute little Matlipoo, your answer is yes. These are technically considered mutants as they posses characteristics that are not found in either of the original populations (Maltese + Poodles). Not all mutations are bad. Those who survived the bubonic plague are said to have a mutated gene that enabled them to be more resilient against the illness. 

In the case of inbreeding the mutation can prevent offspring from being born by either causing sterility in the parents, or it will cause a miscarriage so the fetus is terminated naturally in the beginning. Sometimes the offspring is still born (deceased at birth), or has debilitating symptoms like in cerebral palsy. So there is a chance that the offspring may never be born, making it impossible for a breeder.

Mutations can also be spontaneous, so a breeder might mean well by selecting two animals from different family trees, but both of the parents could produce mutant offspring together.

This question is pretty vague, you should ask your teacher for clarification.

How will the movement of substances be altered in the phloem during spring season? Why?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The phloem is responsible for transporting food from leaves to other parts of the plant.

The transport of pholem is bidirectional and changes the movement of particles according to the season. Generally, the transportation occurs in the direction of the source to sink but in spring season the direction is opposite that is from sink to source because the source and sink are n opposite sides. So in spring season, the stem tubers are sources and the growing leaves are sinks.
