Why are neurotransmitters not considered hormones?

Biology
1 answer:
Likurg_2 [28]3 years ago

They are two separate chemical messengers with some overlap as some molecules can act as both hormones and neurotransmitters. One example of this overlap is norepinephrine which can be released into the bloodstream by the adrenal glands as a hormone or can be released by sympathetic nerve endings as a neurotransmitter.

Answer

RIBOSOMES on the ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

Explanation:

This is the site of protein synthesis usually find attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or  freely on the cystosol,

When they are attached to the  endoplasmic reticulum they appeared as back dots which makes the surface of ER to appear rough, hence the name ROUGH ER. Smooth ER, lacks Ribosomes, and therefore appears smooth,

Ribosomes  are made up of PROTEIN AND RNA.

They are 25nm in diameter;when viewed under high magnification, where theymade up of  two sub-units  the small and large units.

The protein synthesize by the Ribosomes are passed into the sacs  of Rough E.R  for transportation,

Basically, a complete Ribosomes is refereed to as 70S for prokaryotic ribosomes and 80S for Eukaryotic Ribisomes.This refers to their sedimentation Co-efficient in Svedberg units,the Eukaryotes sediment faster than the Prokaroytes

An action potential will not occur unless the membrane potential at the ____________ (the initial segement of the axon) reaches
Artemon [7]
An action potential will not occur unless the membrane potential AT THE VOLTAGE GATED SODIUM CHANNEL reaches a level called THRESHOLD.
An action potential refers to the change in the electrical potential which occurs as a result of the passage of impulses along the membrane of muscle cells or nerve cells. An action potential occurs when there is depolarization of the cell membrane to the threshold stage.

One glucose molecule provides enough carbon for two trips through the citric acid cycle. How many molecules of ATP are directly
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: 38 molecules of ATP

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the cellular degradation of the simple sugar glucose to yield pyruvate, and ATP as an ENERGY source.

The pyruvate ENTERS the Citric acid cycle yielding ATP and some REDUCING EQUIVALENTS like FADH and NADH.

These reducing equivalents enters the ELECTRON TRANSPORT SYSTEM to yield molecules of ATP.

So, the number of moles of ATP generated from two trips is 38 molecules.
