Why are neurotransmitters not considered hormones?

Biology
1 answer:
Likurg_2 [28]3 years ago
6 0
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.

Are NAD+ and H+ the same? Or what is the difference between them? Thanks.
Greeley [361]

<u><em>NAD+ and H+ are not the same. </em></u>

NAD+ is an electron carrier. Reactions in metabolism oxidize food molecules and transfer those electrons (along with H+) to > NAD+ which is what forms NADH. Now, NADH is the reduced form of NAD+ and NAD+ is the oxidized form of NADH.  

H+ on the other hand, is a proton. It is a hydrogen atom that lost it's electrons. So when you see NADH + H+, that means that the reaction  removed 2 electrons and 2 H+ from the compound.

Direct observation is the simplest and most effective method to determine population size
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

El statement that say Direct observation is the simplest and most effective method to determine population size is false.

Explanation:

Simple observation results in an inadequate method for estimating the size of a population, especially if it is very large and mobile. A simple and adequate method consists of counting individuals within a population, with some limitations.

Currently, in large populations, it is common to divide an area occupied by a population into quadrants, count individuals, and then extrapolate the data to the actual dimensions of the space occupied by that population.

Sister chromosome exchanges are recombination events that occur between homologous chromosomes and are often the result of:
SOVA2 [1]
Sister chromosome exchanges are recombination events that occur between homologous chromosomes and are often the result of exposure of the cell to DNA damaging agents. 
Cross over, or recombination, is the exchange of chromosome segments between non sister chromatids in meiosis. Crossing over creates new combinations of genes in the gametes that are not found in either parent, contributing to genetic diversity.
