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.

What does maintaining structure mean for organisms and reproduction​
OlgaM077 [116]
All organisms consist of structural units called cells; some contain a single cell (unicellular) and others contain many units (multicellular). Multicellular organisms are able to specialize cells to perform specific functions. Organisms have both internal and external macroscopic structures that allow for growth, survival, behavior, and reproduction.. All living things are made up of cells. In organisms, cells work together to form tissues and organs that are specialized for particular body functions.

The reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the
pantera1 [17]

Options are not provided in the question. The complete question is as following:

The reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the

A. glomerular capsule.

B. nephron loop.

C. proximal convoluted tubule.

D. distal convoluted tubule.

E. renal duct.

Answer:

C. proximal convoluted tubule.

Explanation:

Reabposrtion of glucose is supported by the nephron present in the kidney which mainatain body fluid homeostasis. It maintains extracellular body fluid volume stable  and also maintains the minerals and salts which are essential for body functioning. So, glucose reabsorption is a part of homeostasis.

The process of glucose reabsorption primarily starts through the walls of the  proximal convoluted tubule. proximal convoluted tubule are covered in microvillii and are extensive in length which increases the surface area for absorption. it also contain densly packed mitochndria which provide energy for efficient reabsorption. and then they are tranposrted to proximal straight tuble fo rfurther filteration.

Hence, the correct otpion is C.

You must draw a Punnett square and work out these problems to get the correct answers. In cats, long-hair (H) is dominant to sho
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Genotypes: 1 heterozygous dominant: 1 recessive

Phenotypes: 1 long hair cat: 1 short hair cat

probability: 50% chances of both long and short hair cats

Explanation:

It is given that long hair is a dominant represented by H, over the short hair represented by h. In the cross of a heterozygous cat for long hair with a cat with short hair, would produce H, h and h, h gametes respectively.

Cross: Hh × hh

    H    h

h    Hh   hh

h   Hh   hh

In this Punnett, there are two heterozygous long hair offspring produced and two short-hair cats.

So, Genotypes: 1 heterozygous dominant: 1 recessive

Phenotypes: 1 long hair cat: 1 short hair cat

probability: 50% chances of both long and short hair cats

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

a. the RNA polymerase undergoes abortive initiation prior to promoter clearance

Explanation:

In eukaryotes the 3' end of the mRNA is polyadenylated to protect the mRNA from degradation.

In eukaryotes, a modified guanine cap is added to the 5' end of the mRNAd to protects the transcript from being broken down.

Most bacterial RNA transcripts do not undergo splicing.

The nucleosome is the basic unit of chromatin repeat in eukaryotes.
