Answer:
Receptor
Explanation:
Neurotransmitters are defined as chemical messengers that carry, stimulate and balance signals between neurons, or nerve cells and other cells in the body.
After release, the neurotransmitter crosses the synaptic gap and binds to the receptor site on the other neuron, stimulating or inhibiting the receptor neuron depending on what the neurotransmitter is. Neurotransmitters act as a key and the receptor site acts as a block. It takes the right key to open specific locks. If the neurotransmitter is able to function at the receptor site, it will cause changes in the recipient cell.
The "first-class" neurotransmitter receptors are ligand-activated ion channels, also known as ionotropic receptors. They undergo a change in shape when the neurotransmitter turns on, causing the channel to open. This can be an excitatory or inhibitory effect, depending on the ions that can pass through the channels and their concentrations inside and outside the cell. Ligand-activated ion channels are large protein complexes. They have certain regions that are binding sites for neurotransmitters, as well as membrane segments to make up the channel.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Oxidation is related to rusting.
Answer:
-1.78 V
Explanation:
There are several rules required to calculate the cell potential:
- given standard cell potential, we may reverse the equation: the products of a given reaction become our reactants, while reactants become our products in the reversed equation. For a reversed equation, we change the sign of the cell potential to the opposite sign;
- if we multiply the whole equation by some number, this doesn't influence the cell potential value. It only produces a different expression in the equilibrium constant.
That said, notice that the initial reaction with respect to the final reaction is:
- reversed: chromium(III) cation and chloride anion become our reactants as opposed to the products in the initial reaction, so we change the sign of the cell potential to a negative value of -1.78 V;
- each coefficient is multiplied by a fraction of
. It doesn't influence the value of the cell potential.
Thus, we have a cell of E = -1.78 V.
