SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Biology
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago

By understanding DNA and gene expression, humans have been able to understand how genetic diseases are caused, therefore they have been able to devise gene therapy and other technologies to treat such disease. Second, the understanding has also allowed humans to devise plants that are resistant to pests and drought hence increasing crop yields.

A negative aspect of this understanding is the issue of bioterrorism. In the wrong hands, this technology can be used against society. The technology can be used to modify organisms to make them deliberately harmful to humans. Second is the issue of bioethics. This technology can be used to enhance humans and result to an ‘arms race’ between human races that can tear down the social fabric.

The binding of the neurotransmitter to receptors on the motor end plate causes which of the following to occur?
lutik1710 [3]

The correct answer is: Binding of the neurotransmitter causes chemically gated sodium channels to open in the motor end plate (junctional folds of the sarcolemma) and sodium enters the cell.

Action potential travels through the membrane of the presynaptic cell causing the voltage-gated channels permeable to calcium ions to open. Ca2+ flow through the presynaptic membrane and increase the Ca concentration in the cell which will activate proteins attached to vesicles that contain a neurotransmitter (e.g. acetylcholine). Vesicles fuse with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, thereby release their contents into the synaptic cleft-space between the membranes of the pre- and postsynaptic cells. Neurotransmitter ACh binds to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and its binding causes depolarization of the target cell (muscle cell). Depolarization occurs because sodium enters the cell as a result of neurotransmitter receptor binding.
