g100num [7]

Answer:

THE CELL RECEPTOR DETERMINES WHICH CELL RESPOND TO AN HORMONE.

Explanation:

In the endocrine system, the hormones are usually released into the blood stream from where they traveled to their target organs. Even though the hormones meet a lot of cells on their way, they do not bind with just any cell. Hormones bind specifically to cells that have receptors that is meant specifically for the hormone. The cell receptor enables the binding together of the hormone and the cell membrane or the cell surface. After the binding, the hormone then elicit the needed response in the cell.

"in a chemical synapse, neurotransmitters are spilled into the synaptic cleft by what action?"
34kurt
Starting from the triggering action potential, the membrane potential in the neuron will propagate from the dendrites to the cell body then to the axons where synaptic vesicles are located. The action potential will trigger an influx of calcium into the axon then calcium will bind to proteins that will move the synaptic vesicles to the synaptic cleft. The membrane of the synaptic vesicles will eventually join the membrane of the synapse and then the neurotransmitters inside the vesicles will be "spilled" into the synaptic cleft.

C. How the organism is related to others

Explanation:

From a single fossil, a scientist can learn how the organism is related to others. Fossils are the preserved remains of organisms that are usually found in rocks.

  • Organisms must posses certain characteristics to ensure their preservation as fossils.
  • Most organisms that are preserved usually have hard parts.
  • Some climatic influence can also arrest decay and provide a platform organisms to be preserved wholly.
  • Fossils are used for relative dating of events in nature.
  • They can also be used to determine how an organism is related to another.
  • This is called phylogeny. It is the study of evolution and how organisms relates to one another.
  • Fossils are very good and useful phylogenetic tools.
