Answer:

Option (A) and (B)

Explanation:

Tension or tensional force is defined as the force that is generated due to the pulling of any object from two opposite directions. This tensional force can be directly related to the divergent plate boundary, where the two plates move in the opposite direction and normal faults.

In a <u>divergent plate boundary</u>, seafloor spreading takes place due to the stretching force. This spreading is marked by the mid-oceanic ridge where the new materials are added at the bottom of the ocean. Shallow focus earthquakes occur due to this type of plate motion, along with some volcanic activities.

<u>Normal faults</u> are the faults that are generated due to the tensional force (stress). Here, the hanging wall moves down in comparison to the footwall. They are also considered as the gravity fault.

Thus, the correct answers are option (A) and (B).

Prior to neurotransmitter release, vesicles are transported to specialized regions of the presynaptic terminal called _______ zo
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The correct answers are: Synaptic Active Zones, Exocytosis.

Explanation:

  • An impulse after travelling along the dendrites, cell body and axon of a neuron reaches the axon endings in the form of an action potential (signal transmitted by the activation of voltage gated sodium and potassium channels present on the plasma membrane of the neurons).
  • At the axon ending or the pre-synaptic region, the action potential triggers the opening of the voltage dependent calcium channels, that promotes the influx of calcium ions into the pre-synaptic region of the neuron.
  • This process triggers the fusion of the neuro-transmitter carrying vesicles with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neuron.
  • As a result of fusion the neurotransmitter is released into the synaptic cleft.
  • At the pre-synaptic region of the neuron, there is a huge concentration of neuro-transmitter carrying vesicles which remain adhered to proteins called CAZ (cytomatrix at the active zone) proteins. These proteins help the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles to remain tethered or docked to the pre-synaptic membrane in the axon terminal of the neuron. They together form the Synaptic Active Zone.
  • In response to calcium ion influx these proteins help the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles to fuse with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neural axon and release the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.
  • The process of fusion of the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neural axon followed by the release of the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft is known as Exocytosis.

All eukaryotic cells contain mitochondria. What does this mean?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Mitochondria- often called the powerhouses of the cell — enable eukaryotes to make more efficient use of food sources than their prokaryotic counterparts. That's because these organelles greatly expand the amount of membrane used for energy-generating electron transport chains.
