Answer:

If the postsynaptic cell is an interneuron that uses GABA as a neurotransmitter, the excitation of this cell will result in an action potential in its synaptic targets.

The answer is OPTION B (False)

Explanation:

<em><u>Some terms explained:</u></em>

GABA:

known as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), is an amino acid inhibitory neurotransmitter that decreases the neuron's action potential. It is well known to inhibit the activity of signal-receiving neurons.

The neuron will not generate action potentials when the action potential drops below a certain level, thus not excite nearby neurons.

Action potential:

An action potential is self-propagating in nature, is the mode through which a neuron transports electrical signals. Action potential of a neuron has three main stages: hyperpolarization, repolarization, and depolarization.   It occurs when the membrane potential of a specific cell location rapidly rises and falls and it electrotonically depolarizes the membrane of regions in front of it.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c) "It is necessary to have a completely functioning pentose phosphate pathway for a tissue to synthesize ribose phosphates".

Explanation:

While the pentose phosphate pathway is the most common way at which a tissue synthesize ribose phosphate, it is false to affirm that it is necessary for ribose phosphate synthesis. Tissues have alternatives to the pentose phosphate pathway to synthesize ribose phosphate. For instance, the nucleotide salvage or the salvage pathway allows tissues to synthesize ribose phosphate from intermediates in the degradative pathway for nucleotides.
