Answer:

Pathogens

Explanation:

Some microbes are harmful and cause one or more diseases in other living beings. These organisms that cause diseases are called pathogens. It includes bacteria, fungi, worms and protozoans. However, some non-living entities that cause disease are also referred to as pathogens. For instance, infectious protein prions cause many neurodegenerative diseases. So, prions are also pathogens. Likewise, viruses cause many diseases in plants and animals. Viruses do not exhibit life processes when they are outside the host cells. However, viruses are also called pathogens.

The neuromuscular junction is a well-studied example of a chemical synapse. Which of the following statements describes a critic
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

A- Acetylcholine is released by axon terminals of the motor neuron.

Explanation:

The general mechanism of muscle contraction can be explained as follows:

a) The action potential which is generated, travels along the motor nerve to its ends on muscle fiber (or motor end plate) at the neuro-muscular junction.

b) The nerve endings then secrete small amounts of neurotransmitter called acetylcholine.

c) The actylecholine binds to the receptors on the membrane of muscle fiber and opens the voltage gated sodium channels.

d) Opening of these channels leads to flow of large quantities of sodium ions into the muscle fiber which ultimately results in initiation of action potential in muscle fiber.  

e) This action potential depolarizes the fiber including the T-tubules, triggering the release of calcium ions from sarcoplasmic reticulum.

f) The calcium ions thus released initiated the process of muscle contraction.

A science club has 16 members. How many ways can a president, a vice president, and a treasurer be selected from the members?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

The answer would be D. 3,360

Explanation:

The solution is found by multiplying 16 times 15 times 14. The club has 16 members and after one role (president) is filled, there are 15 left to fill the next (vice). The same goes for the next role (treasurer). So 16 is multiplied with 15, then 14. This is more of a math question that biology btw.
