The neuromuscular junction is a well-studied example of a chemical synapse. Which of the following statements describes a critic

al event that occurs at the neuromuscular junction?
a) Acetylcholine is released by axon terminals of the motor neuron.
b) When the action potential reaches the end of the axon terminal, voltage-gated sodium channels open and sodium ions diffuse into the terminal.
c) Acetylcholine binds to its receptor in the junctional folds of the sarcolemma. Its receptor is linked to a G protein.
d) Acetylcholine is released and moves across the synaptic cleft bound to a transport protein.

Answer:

A- Acetylcholine is released by axon terminals of the motor neuron.

Explanation:

The general mechanism of muscle contraction can be explained as follows:

a) The action potential which is generated, travels along the motor nerve to its ends on muscle fiber (or motor end plate) at the neuro-muscular junction.

b) The nerve endings then secrete small amounts of neurotransmitter called acetylcholine.

c) The actylecholine binds to the receptors on the membrane of muscle fiber and opens the voltage gated sodium channels.

d) Opening of these channels leads to flow of large quantities of sodium ions into the muscle fiber which ultimately results in initiation of action potential in muscle fiber.  

e) This action potential depolarizes the fiber including the T-tubules, triggering the release of calcium ions from sarcoplasmic reticulum.

f) The calcium ions thus released initiated the process of muscle contraction.

What is the difference between cellular respiration and the combustion of fossil fuels?
madreJ [45]

Carbon is released into the atmosphere only during the burning of fossil fuels

Explanation:

During the process of fuel burning, carbon is released in the atmosphere. The human invented power plants, factories, cars and other vehicles releases carbon in the form of carbon di-oxide in atmosphere.  

However, the cellular respiration is similar to that of fuel burning as it is too a combustion process. But the carbon produced in this process fuels the inner cellular activities rather than releasing it in the atmosphere.

What kind of solution causes chloroplasts to be pushed outward against the cell wall, isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic?
Elina [12.6K]
The answer to this question would be hypertonic.

If the chloroplast is going to be pushed against the cell wall, probably the water around the cell wall is decreased, causing it to suck up the water inside. Then, the solution must be causing the cell to lose water. The cell will lose water if put in a hypertonic solution. In a hypertonic solution, the osmotic pressure of the solution is higher than the cell, make it attract water from cells.

Blood pressure decreases and a body system responds in a way that causes the blood pressure to decrease even more. Which of the
Ray Of Light [21]

C. Positive Feedback

This is because a response to a stimulus( low blood pressure) acts in the same direction as the stimulus ( even lower blood pressure).

This is opposed to negative feedback where the response would go in the operate direction of the stimulus ( I.e. blood pressure increasing in response to low blood pressure)
