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

Biology
1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Explain the process of DNA Replication in details
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

DNA replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. ... Once the DNA in a cell is replicated, the cell can divide into two cells, each of which has an identical copy of the original DNA.

In the eukaryotic cell cycle, chromosome duplication occurs during "S phase" (the phase of DNA synthesis) and chromosome segregation occurs during "M phase" (the mitosis phase).

Compare in general terms the effects of epinephrine glucagon and insulin on glucose metabolism
storchak [24]
<span> Epinephrine and glucagon cause an increase in the blood glucose level. Epinephrine acts when a higher than normal level of glucose is required; glucagon acts when the level is unusually low. Both stimulate gluconeogenesis and glycogen breakdown and decrease glycolysis and glycogen synthesis. Insulin causes a decrease in blood glucose levels; it acts by increasing glycogen synthesis, glycolysis, and glucose uptake by cells as well as by decreasing glycogen breakdown.

Hope this helps please award brainly :)

Define what are food,water,living space and disease
DedPeter [7]

-ok food is a delicious matter that helps us stuff our belly with and also living things to survive by giving as minerals, nutrients and vitamins, proteins..etc and help us get fat or built up.

-water is essential cause it cleans the body think like a shower indoor (or inbody) and it helps us clean the outside of our body XD, water also has minerals and nutrients that is good for you and needed for us to survive this life (that were suffering in XD)

-living space is just an empty space or a space you just live in.

-disease is a sickness that we get that makes our body weak or not function properly we even die from it.
