Answer:

Atmosphere refers to the thin blanket of air that surrounds the earth.

It serves many important functions such as:

  • It contains a mixture of gases that are essential for the existence of life on earth. For example, carbon dioxide is essential for photosynthesis and oxygen is essential for cellular respiration.
  • It also serves as the reservoir of water in the form of water vapor. Thus, it forms an important constituent for the water cycle.
  • It maintains the temperature of the earth. Through the greenhouse effect, it maintains the temperature of the earth in limited ranges.
  • It protects the earth from harmful rays of the sun. For example, ozone inhibits the entry of most of the UV rays of the sun into the earth environment.

What is the function of synaptic vesicles inside axon terminals? what is the function of synaptic vesicles inside axon terminals
Igoryamba

The correct answer is option (D) store and release neurotransmitters.

The function of synaptic vesicles inside the axon terminals is to store and release the neurotransmitters. A synapse refers to the junction between the two neurons which transmit the nerve impulses by the diffusion of a neurotransmitter. Synaptic vesicles ar important for the transmission or the conduction of the nerve impulses as they store and release the neurotransmitters.

These neurotransmitters are the chemicals that transmit an impulse between two neurons or a neuromuscular junction. A neurotransmitter is released by the synaptic vesicle of one neuron into a region between the two neurons called the synapatic cleft. From here, it reaches the neurtransmitter receptors present on the target neuron, thus conducting the impulse. Examples of neurotransmitters include the epinephrine, histamine, acetylcholine and others.
