7 0

Answer:

  1. Protists are mostly unicellular(one celled) eukaryotes whereas a few protists are multicellular(many celled).
  2. They are eukaryotic which means they have a nucleus that is enclosed by a membrane.
  3. They are divided into three categories;animal-like protists, which are heterotrophs and have the ability to move,plant-like protists, which are autotrophs that photosynthesize and fungi-like protists, which are heterotrophs, and they have cells with cell walls and reproduce by forming spore.
  4. They are mobile or immobile

Explanation:

  • Protists are eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as plant,animal or fungus.
  • Protists can obtain energy they need to live by consuming other organisms and have the ability to move hence they are said to be heterotrophic while others can obtain energy by manufacturing their own food through a process known as photosynthesis which involves capturing light energy and storing it in carbohydrates for they cannot move  hence said to be autotrophic.
  • protists may live primarily in water though some live in moist soil hence they can be found almost anywhere on earth where there is liquid water,even in humans.

A person will most likely develop aphasia as a result of damage to which parts of the brain?
Anna11 [10]

The correct answer is Broca's area or Wernicke's area.

Aphasia generally causes due to the destruction of Wernicke's area or Broca's area. For the majority of the individuals, these are the sections of the brain's left hemisphere.  

The condition known as aphasia generally takes place suddenly, usually as the outcome of a head injury or stroke, however, it can also arise gradually, in the individuals suffering from a brain tumor. The disorder hampers both the comprehension and expression of language and at the same time the tendency to read and write.

The reabsorption of neurotransmitters by a terminal button is called:
valentina_108 [34]
The answer to this question would be reuptake

Reuptake is a reabsorption of the neurotransmitters that had been released. Reuptake is important because if the neurotransmitter isn't removed, they can repeatedly induce a signal.
Some drug works by inhibiting this reuptake mechanism like serotonin reuptake inhibitor. By doing this, the drug will increase the number of the neurotransmitter since it won't reabsorbed.
