Out of the following given choices;

A. increasing the pH of the salt.

B. increasing the surface area of the salt.

C. increasing the pressure of the salt.

<span>D. increasing the temperature of the salt.</span>

 

The answer is B. When a substance is reduced to smaller sizes, its surface area to volume ratio increases. Therefore crushing barium salts to smaller particles increase the surface area on which it reacts with the acid. This consequently increases the rate of speed of the reaction.

Sometimes described as a "chemical brother" of gaba (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which amino acid neurotransmitter acts in an exci
poizon [28]

excitatory amino acids are the amino acids helps in transformation of neurotransmitters or it helps in transmission of synapsis rapidly in brain of mammal. EAA known to be neurotransmitters for Central nervous system.

Excitatory amino acids count may vary from 50’s to 100’s. They are mostly composed of non-protein- amino acids obtained from algae or fungi.

The possible EAAs are Glutamate (Glu) and Aspartate which act as excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain. They get released from neurons where they induce excitation via metabotropic Glu receptors.  

Both glutamate and aspartate having excitatory effect on neurotransmission whereas Gama-amino butyric acid having inhibitory effect on neurotransmission.

Thus, the statement ‘neurotransmitters are chemical brother of gaba’ is indicating the complementary effect of each other.
