Release of a neurotransmitter across the synapse is triggered by the entry of Ca++ into the presynaptic axon. No Ca++ entry means no transmission across the synapse.

Answer:

If the calcium ion channels in the axon terminal were blocked, then no synaptic transmission occurs.

Explanation:

The synapse has 2 parts one is post synaptic cleft and other is pre synaptic cleft. The pre synaptic cleft contains synaptic vesicles which  have neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are in the inactive form.

When the calcium ion is coming and bind with the vesicle, the neurotransmitter gets activated. Then the vesicle binds with another protein and releases the neurotransmitter to the post synaptic vesicle. Thus information goes from pre synaptic cleft to post synaptic cleft and synaptic transmission occurs.

If the calcium ion channel is blocked, no calcium ions come into the axon terminal, the neurotransmitter can't active and no synaptic transmission happens.

Oxygen is a by-product of ______________ and is needed by living organisms for the process of ______________.
Katyanochek1 [597]
The answer is D, photosynthesis and respiration.


—Evidence—

Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis and, correspondingly, carbon dioxide the byproduct of respiration.

Oxygen gives our cells the ability to break down food in order to get the energy we need to survive. Although other animals may use different organs to breathe with, they all get oxygen into their bodies through respiration.

The natural means by which filoviruses infect humans is __________.
grigory [225]
<span>The means is unknown. Filoviruses are known for causing hemorrhagic fever in humans. However, once a human is infected, passing the virus from person-to-person is the means by which others become infected. Most especially is the transmission through infected bodily fluids or objects that have been unsterilized and come into contact with those fluids.</span>

Cyanobacteria and purple sulfur bacteria both obtain energy from light. however, only the ________ are capable of releasing ____
kap26 [50]

Answer: Cyanobacteria, oxygen

Cyanobacteria also known as Cynophyta and blue green algae. It is a phyllum of bacteria that produces it's own food like plants by the process of photosynthesis. It is found in freshwater lakes, damp soils, oceans, moistened rocks and even in animal fur. The purple sulfur bacteria belongs to the group of Proteobacteria. It is an anaerobic bacteria. It is found in hot springs, and stagnant water. It is a photosynthesizing bacterial strain like Cyanobacteria but it does not utilize water to be reduced in the photosynthesis process like in Cynobacteria, to produce oxygen.

Hence, only the <u>Cyanobacteria</u> are capable of releasing <u>oxygen</u>.
