Describe the role of the following in synaptic communication:______.

Biology

Scilla [17]3 years ago

Answer:

1- Ionotropic receptors form ionic channels that allow certain ions to pass through the plasma membrane, and metabotropic receptors, which are associated with G proteins and have a modulating action on synaptic transmission.

2-Neurons communicate with each other through neurotransmitters, which are the molecules responsible for sending signals from one neuron to the next neuron. Neuromodulators also enter into communication between nerve cells.

3-Rapid PPSE occurs when postsynaptic nicotinic receptors on dendrites and neuronal cell bodies are activated through acetylcholine, which causes membrane depolarization and allows the entry of Na and Ca ions.

Acetylcholine also allows the activation of postsynaptic muscarinic receptors, which leads to the slow excitatory postsynaptic potential. This occurs when the channels are Ca and Na open and the K channels are closed.

4-When the neurotransmitters are attached to their receptors, the opening of the ion channels can be opened. This leads to two types of postsynaptic potentials being generated: postsynaptic excitation potentials (PEPs), if the membrane potential is depolarized, and the postsynaptic potential inhibitors (PIPs), if the membrane potential is hyperpolarized.

Explanation:

1-The importance of studying neurotransmitter receptors is that most of the drugs of clinical importance, such as anesthetics, anticonvulsants, etc., are based on the mechanisms of action of these receptors

2-Neurotransmitters allow them to produce or not action potential, serves to activate postsynaptic receptors and are capable of opening ion channels. On the other hand, neuromodulators are responsible for regulating the activity of ion channels.

3-The fast PPSE reaches 15 milliseconds. The slow PPSE lasts approximately 1-2 minutes.

4-PEPs occur when the ionic channels of Na + or Ca2 + are opened, while PIPs when the channels  of K + or CI- are opened.

What happens when you eat more than your body needs for energy?
Talja [164]

Answer: When we regularly eat more kilo joules than our body needs, the spare energy is stored as fat. Eating as little as 100kJ extra each day (or burning 100kJ less by exercise), can lead to one kilogram of body fat creeping on over a single year.

Which part of the endomembrane system provides a mechanism for transporting proteins from the rough er to the Golgi apparatus?
kicyunya [14]
The proteins move through the endomembrane system and are dispatched from the trans face of the Golgi apparatus in transport vesicles that move through the cytoplasm and then fuse with the plasma membrane releasing the protein to the outside of the cell.

Imagine you were going to model the flow of energy in an ecosystem and the flow of elements in the ecosystem using a diagram. Co
klemol [59]
Almost all the energy in ecosystems comes from the sun.<span>Energy is captured by producers and then passed in a linear progression from one trophic level to the next. At each level, much of the energy escapes the ecosystem as heat. Unlike this one-way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems. Elements pass from one organism to another and among parts of the non-living environment through closed loops called biogeochemical cycles.</span>
