Answer:

A polio antigen

Explanation:

<em>The substance in the polio vaccine that makes it effective in the mitigation of the disease is the polio antigen.</em>

<u>An antigen is any substance that is capable of eliciting an immune response in an individual through the production of antibodies.</u>

Antigens could be of two types;

  • foreign or hetero antigens
  • self or auto antigens

Foreign antigens are those whose sources are from outside of the body while self antigens are those within the body, a characteristic of people with auto-immune diseases.

The polio vaccine contains polio antigens which is an inactivated or weakened form of the pathogen responsible for causing the polio disease.

Acetylcholine binds to a GPCR on heart muscle, making the heart beat more slowly. The activated receptor stimulates a G protein,
kogti [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (b) "addition of a drug that prevents the α subunit from exchanging GDP for GTP".

Explanation:

The G protein is a name given to a family of proteins that act as a switch in diverse cellular processes, transmitting signals from outside to inside of the cells. When a G protein receptor is activated by a neurotransmitter such as dopamine, the alpha subunit exchanges its GDP for a GTP and disassociates G-protein itself. An addition of a drug that prevents this action would prevent  G protein disassociation, which would enhance the effect of stimulating G protein that acetylcholine does.
