Which statement about long-term potentiation (LTP) is false? A. During normal, low-level activity, the release of glutamate at t

he synapse activates only the AMPA receptors. B. NMDA receptors cannot ordinarily respond to glutamate because magnesium ions block the NMDA receptor's calcium ion channel. C. Strong stimulation of AMPA receptors depolarizes the postsynaptic membrane so much that the Mg2+ plug is driven from the central channels of the NMDA receptors. D. NMDA receptors are fully active only when 'gated' by a strong depolarization (via AMPA receptors) and the ligand calcium.

The correct answer is: D. NMDA receptors are fully active only when 'gated' by a strong depolarization (via AMPA receptors) and the ligand calcium.

NMDA receptors or N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors are ionotropic glutamate receptors.

Those receptors are inactive at the resting potential, because channel pore is blocked by magnesium ions, preventing ion flows through it. After the depolarization (AMPA receptor mediated) of the post-synaptic cell, the channel inhibition is released and thus NMDA receptor is activated. Also, the receptor is activated when glycine and glutamate bind to it.

When it is activated, the receptor channel allows the flow of cations K+, Na+ and Ca2+. The influx of Ca2+, which is secondary messenger, triggers intracellular signaling pathways.

Biologists surveying the bacterial flora of Yellowstone National Park, particularly populations located in the park’s famous hot
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

The data collected on the bacterial species in the Yellowstone national park involved:

1. habitat characteristics

2.DNA of bacteria from each population

3. compared with other species of the park

Based on these features, the biologist could apply all the types of species concept like ecological species concept which allows the study of the species from the same niche.

Also, they compared the DNA of the species of the bacteria and compared them which allows to trace the evolutionary patterns and showing the phylogenetic relationship.

Since bacteria do not reproduce by the sexual reproduction, therefore, a biologist cannot apply the biological species concept which states that species can be called species which can reproduce only with the closely rated species only or the individual of the same species.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

The model below represents a DNA molecule. The presence of which element best provides evidence that nucleotides are the buildin
uranmaximum [27]
DNA has 3 components; phosphate, a sugar called deoxyribose (a 5 carbon sugar as opposed to the sugar in the picture which is a 6 carbon sugar - glucose) and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, guanosine or cytosine). So if you look at those 3 pictures, the only one is the nucleotide that's part of the DNA.
