Neurotransmitters are the chemical molecules, which help in transfer of the signals from one neuron to another. Inside the neurons, the signals are transferred as electrical signals, but at junction of two neuron, which is known as synapse, the signals are transferred in chemical forms.

These neurotransmitters have a definite shape and are recognized by the receptors present in the receptor site of the succeeding neuron. The neurotransmitters from the synapse binds to the receptor site of the receiving neuron. binding of the neurotransmitter to the receptor causes excitation of the receiving neuron, which also known as postsynaptic neuron.

Hence, Like a key in a lock, the shape of the neurotransmitter must bind with the receptors of the receiving neuron.

Arte-miy333 [17]

The correct answer is by facilitated diffusion.

The procedure of continuous passive transport of ions or molecules through a semi-permeable membrane with the help of particular transmembrane integral proteins is known as facilitated or passive-mediated transport or facilitated diffusion.

It is a modification of osmosis incorporating a proteinaceous channel via which an extracellular solute can enter a cell in the absence of energy.

What proportion of emerging diseases is caused by zoonotic pathogens?

gogolik [260]

61% of emerging diseases is caused by zoonotic pathogens

Explanation:

Out of total emerging diseases zoonotic contributes 61%, that are originated from wildlife. The rate is increasing due to growth of human population, its mobility, frivolous, cultural and their socioeconomic purposes. Air is the major source for spread of infectious diseases. Zoonoses are generally caused by bacteria, viruses and pathogens that are blowout between animals and human beings. Modern zoonoses are Ebola virus and salmonella. One of such direct zoonoses is rabies, that is transformed directly from animal to human.
