How does a presynaptic neuron know just how much of a certain neurotransmitter (NT) it has released into the synapse?

Answer:

A presynaptic neuron knows when and how much of a certain neurotransmitter it has to release into the synapse by the frequency of the action potential.

Explanation:

Two nuerons connect to each other through synapse. When an action potential, or nerve impulse, arrives at the axon terminal, it activates voltage-gated calcium channels in the cell membrane, then the calcium which is present in hi highconcentration outside the neuron than inside, rushes into the cell. The Calcium then allows synaptic vesicles to fuse with the axon terminal membrane, releasing neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.

The nuerotransmitter than binds to the receptors at the post-synaptic cleft and causes the opening or closing of the channels, hence, depolarizing or hyperpolarizing the cells.This can produce a change in the membrane potential—voltage across the membrane of the receiving cell.

mina [271]

Answer: The solid is a mixture

Explanation:

Here's the complete question:

If a solid contains some particles that melt at 50°C and other particles that melt at 110°C, what must be true about the solid?

A. The solid is an element.

B. The solid is a mixture.

C. The solid is a pure substance.

D. The solid has three boiling points.

It should be noted that an element consist of an atom but in this scenario, there are different particles that also have different melting points. Therefore, it's not an element, but rather a mixture.

Also, the solid in this case is not a pure substance and doesn't have three boiling points.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Select the correct answer.
Oduvanchick [21]
The answer is C.

The man’s genotype must be AB. The woman’s genotype can be either BB or BO as both correspond to a blood type (which is a phenotype) of B.

Each parent passes on one allele. The man can contribute A or B and the woman can contribute B or O.

The possible genotype combinations are therefore AB, AO, BB, and BO. These correspond to the phenotypes AB, A, B, and B.

Which of the following minerals will NOT scratch glass?
Shtirlitz [24]
The answer is fluorite. If a mineral cannot be scratched by a knife blade but can be scratched by quartz then its hardness is between 5 and 7 on mohs scale. A relative hardness value of 6.5 means that the mineral could scratch orthoclase but not quartz. Flourite hardness on mohs scale is 4, and therefore due to the very low hardness and perfect cleavage of Flourite, special care must be taken to ensure it doesn't get scratched or chipped. It cannot scratch the glass.
