Researchers investigating the regulation of neurotransmitter release from presynaptic neurons proposed a model in which CDK5, a

protein expressed in axon terminals, inhibits the movement of synaptic vesicles to the presynaptic membrane... to test their model, the researchers used a modified version of green fluorescent protein...based on the model, which of the following best explains why a bright green fluorescence was observed following stimulation of a presynaptic neuron?

Answer:

"GFP contained in synaptic vesicles moved into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis."

Explanation:

Synaptic vesicles are small membrane sacs that carry neurotransmitters from the cell body where they are produced, to the presynaptic membrane of the terminal button where they are released. The release zone of the presynaptic membrane contains voltage-dependent calcium channels. When an action potential depolarizes the presynaptic plasma membrane, Ca^{2+}-channels open, and  Ca^{2+} flows into the nerve terminal to trigger the exocytosis of synaptic vesicles, thereby releasing their neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft

Setler79 [48]
<span>The treatment of hypocalcemia depends on the cause ,the severity and the presence of symptoms.Hypocalcemia generally results from another disease process. Most hypocalcemic emergencies are mild and require only supportive treatment and other laboratory evaluation. In this case the nurse will be looking for severe hypocalcemic symptoms like seizures,tetany,refractory hypotensionn and arrythmias.And other laboratory evaluation tests to find whether hypocalcemia is due to some other systemic problem.</span>

MicroRNAs control gene expression at the level of _______. See Section 19.4 (Page 389) .
Alenkinab [10]

Out of the following given choices;

transcription

protein stability

mRNA processing

translation

<span>The answer is mRNA processing. microRNA regulate gene posttranscriptionally by silencing mRNA. microRNA is short (approximately 20 nucleotides) and base-pairs with mRNA during its processing hence interferes with its progression to translation by causing the cleavage of the mRNA or  shortening the poly-A tail</span>

Diffusion of ions across membranes through specific ion channels is driven by ________. Group of answer choices ion concentratio
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The correct choice is ''ion electrochemical gradients''.

Diffusion of ions across membranes through specific ion channels is driven by <u>ion electrochemical gradients</u>.  

Explanation:

An electrochemical gradient can be considered as that electrical (electrostatic pressure) and chemical (diffusion) force that determine the movement of molecules and ions across the membrane. This electrochemical gradient, in addition to causing movement of substances through cell membranes, is also a type of potential energy available for the performance of different cellular activities, potential energy called membrane potential.
