Answer:

Sadie's continue use of marijuana will lead to her brain's reduction of the neurotransmitter anandamide which will require her to need more of the marijuana to achieve its effects.

Explanation:

The active ingredient of marijuana is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)which is responsible for causing change in the brain.

This activates specific receptors called cannabinoid receptor.This receptors are found in limbic and cerebral cortex region and cerebellum.

As these receptors are located in the brain, the effect of these receptors are also wide spread.In healthy brain, these receptors are activated by a neurotransmitter called as anandamide that have pain relieving effect and also play important function in brain.When THC activates these receptors,causes interference of the normal function.

marijuana also boost another type of neurotransmitter called dopamine after taking the drug.

How does a single change in nitrogen base alter the formation of a protein
jasenka [17]


During translation to RNA, the nitrogen bases on the DNA molecule are translated to complementary RNA bases. Afterwards, these bases are again used to form amino acids.
Three bases make up a codon, which codes for a specific amino acid. If a base is changed, the codon will become changed. This will result in a different amino acid being produced in and the primary structure of the polypeptide will be altered.

How do pioneer species make ecological succession possible on an island formed from a volcanic eruptions
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is <em>3. they break down rock into soil in which plants can grow</em>

Explanation:

When a disaster is such huge that even the soil and organic matter get removed from the place, then the succession that will occur in such kind of place will be termed as primary succession. For example, a volcanic eruption or an earthquake.

On the other hand, if after a disaster some of the organic matter remains on the land, then the succession that will occur will be termed as secondary succession. E.g a succession after fire

In primary succession, the pioneer species will be plants that require less soil such as the lichens. The lichens will break down the rocks into the soil and eventually new species of plants will start to grow on the land.

Very low concentrations of detergent make membranes leaky to small molecules and ions without damaging proteins. In isolated mit
Grace [21]

Options

A. Yes, because all enzymes and electron carriers are functional

B. No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained

C. No, because leaky membranes inhibit glycolysis

D. No, because leaky membranes do not allow NADH and FADH2 to donate their electrons to the electron transport chain

Answer:

B. No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained

Explanation:

The proton motive force (PMF) provides the needed pump  to generate electrochemical gradients of proton needed for continue influx  into the matix of the mitochondria. The proton Influx generates the energy needed by  protein ATPase Synthase for  synthesis  of ATPs by adding inorganic phosphate to ADP to give ATP.

               ADP + Pi -----------→ ATP.

If the mitochondria;l  intramembrane leaks, then the PMF can  not be sustained, therefore electtrochermical gradient which supplies the energy for ATP synthase for ATP synthesis will not be available. Therefore ATP synthesis stops.
