Answer:

A. Neurotransmitters can act as ligands.

Answer:

A. Neurotransmitters can act as ligands.

Explanation:

Neurotransmitter are chemicals that transfer signals between neurons and nerve cells. They control some physical and physiologocal activity such as appetite, food.

Acetycoline is an example of neurotransmitter and it is located in the parasympathetic nervous system. Ligand are substance that form complexes with biomolecule. They serve biological purpose with this biomolecule.

This ligand binds to target site. Neurotransmitter act as ligand by binding to receptor in the postsynaptic neuron and acetycoline a type of neurotransmitter can also serve as ligand they bind to acetycoline receptor on cell surface.

Describe the geoscience processes that help to change Earth’s surfaces over time.

Kisachek [45]

Geoscience processes such as weathering, erosion, and deposition are constantly changing Earth's surface. The planet's systems interact to shape Earth's history and future. By mapping the natural events in an area and understanding the geological forces involved, future events can be predicted and forecasted.

list 5 animals that live in the desert. Write a paragraph telling me how they can survive in this particular biome. What feature

NARA [144]

5 desert animals are camel, sand cat, desert tortoises, desert lizards and the great road runner.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Camel has several physiological and behavioral adaptations that help them survive the extreme conditions of the desert. They have flat feet to help them spread their weight in the sand.
They have thick eyelashes and closeable nostrils to prevent the entry of sand. They store fat on their humps that supplies energy during long journeys and has a long large intestine which increases water reabsorption.

Sand cat is similar to the domestic cat in basic appearance but has several adaptations enabling it to survive in the desert. Their paws are covered with thick and long hairs to protect the feet from the heat. They have thick fur that acts as an insulting surface during hot days and cold nights.

Desert tortoises have excellent water storage capacity. Their bladders are larger than normal and can carry extra water. They have strong feet which helps them to dig holes in the sand and access rainwater.

Desert lizards can drink water through skin. They do it by a process called cutaneous water acquisition and it helps them to gather water obtained from rainfall, damp sand and pools.

Great roadrunner has peculiar adaptations. The digestive system of the bird retrieves water from the feces as it is in the excretory canal.
