Answer:

Dopamine.

Explanation:

Schizophrenia is a mental illness characterized by psychotic episodes and the inability to relate thoughts, feelings and actions, accompanied by delusions, hallucinations (auditory, visual, olfactory and tactile), incoherent thoughts, memory disorders and, in occasions, confusion. Dopamine is a hormone synthesized by the brain that acts as a neurotransmitter and allows the connection between neurons. Studies suggest that some of these alterations in mental functions are caused by an excess in the activity of dopaminergic synapses, that is, there is a hyperactivity in those connections where dopamine is produced and expelled, which range from the ventral tegmental area to the nucleus accumbens and the amygdala, which are the main ones responsible for synthesizing and expelling dopamine from brain reward systems.

Answer:

This is one example of a chimp DNA diagram

A G C T A C A G A G

A is Adenin

G is Guanine

C is Citosin

T is Thymine

Explanation:

Adenine

Adenine is an organic molecule found in DNA, ribonucleic acid (known as RNA) and adenosine triphosphate, better known as ATP.

Guanine

Guanine is a purine base found in DNA and RNA that binds exclusively with cytosine to form ribonucleosides called guanosine or deoxyribose to form deoxyguanosine.

Thymine

Thymine is a pyrimidine base found in DNA that binds to adenine.

Cytosine

Cytosine is a pyramid-shaped nitrogenous base that binds to guanine in RNA and DNA as nucleotides and functions as part of the genetic code.

Which of the following statements about a typical plasma membrane is correct?a. Phospholipids are the primary component that det
nordsb [41]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The fatty acid tails of phospholipids are hydrophobic – meaning they are ‘water-hating’. This is why they are in the middle of the bi-lipid layer of the cell membrane 'hiding' from the 'watery' environment of a cell. This poses a challenge in the diffusion of large and charged molecules across the membrane -such as sodium ions. Such molecules need transmembrane protein channels to help them cross the membrane. These are called integral proteins because they are part and parcel of the cell membrane. The cell membrane, in addition, also has glycolipids and glycoproteins on its surface that are significant in the identification of the cell by other cells.
