Musya8 [376]

The correct answer is reuptake.  

The reabsorption of a neurotransmitter by a neurotransmitter transporter situated along the plasma membrane of an axon terminal or glial cell after it has done its activity of conducting a neural impulse is called reuptake.  

The process of reuptake is essential for usual synaptic physiology as it permits for the recycling of neurotransmitters and monitors the neurotransmitter level in the synapse, thus, monitoring the duration of the signal resulting due to the discharge of the neurotransmitter.

Many gardeners use a chemical weed-killer to control plant pests in their gardens. However, many weeds have begun to develop a r
lana66690 [7]

Ans. (B). Genes.

The chemicals that kill the weeds are known as herbicides. Herbicide-resistance is defined as the inherited ability of weeds to survive an application of herbicide, that can kill a normal weed plant of same species.

The resistance develops due to mutations in genes that were sensitive to those chemicals in wild-type forms. As genes are responsible for transfer of characteristics from one to another generation, the herbicide-resistance is also passed down to generations through genes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Answer: Phagocyte receptors that detect PAMPs

Explanation:

TLRs or Toll-like receptors, are a family of proteins that are part of the innate immune system. TLRs are transmembranous and recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which are groups of chemical characteristics common to certain types of pathogens. Patterns detected by TLRs include lipopolysaccharide, a compound found on the surfaces of Gram-negative bacteria, and double-stranded RNA, which is an integral part of the life cycles of many viruses. These PAMPs are generally important for the survival of the pathogen, so they are well preserved. <u>Activation of these receptors induces inflammatory responses in leukocytes of myeloid lineage, signaling via NF-κB, which is a transcription factor that activates pro-inflammatory genes</u>. Activated TLRs also increase the production of co-stimulatory molecules such as CD80, CD86 and CD40. These proteins, expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells, are necessary for the activation of T-lymphocytes by dentritic cells and macrophages already showing antigens in their MHC type II molecules (Major Histocompatibility Complex, they participate in the presentation of antigens to T lymphocytes)

<u>In addition, TLR-mediated signaling on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) plays an important role in linking the innate and adaptive immune responses</u>.
