A group of scientists working for the University of Florida commented on the lack of alligators in a swampy area around Jacksonv

ille, Florida. They hypothesized that recent land development for housing and an increased human population had driven the alligators from their normal habitats. The scientists tracked the population data of alligators in the area for a period spanning 100 years and concluded that their hypothesis was correct; human sprawl had greatly lowered the alligator population.
Based on the data in the passage, the restriction of residential development in and around Jacksonville would have what type of impact?


A) It would help restore the alligator population to pre-1900 levels.
Eliminate
B) It would help to revive the dwindling population of local alligators.
C) It would help stop the local alligator population from decreasing further.
D) It would help re-establish the swamp areas needed by the alligators to live.

Neurotransmitters Select one: a. stimulate presynaptic terminals. b. remain in the synaptic cleft for long periods of time. c. b
Nonamiya [84]

Details about Neurotransmitters are described below.

Explanation:

1.Neurotransmitters are referred to as the body’s chemical messengers. They are the molecules used by the nervous system to transmit messages between neurons, or from neurons to muscles.

2.Terms in this set

  • acetylcholine. A neurotransmitter used by neurons in the PNS and CNS in the control of functions ranging from muscle contraction and heart rate to digestion and memory.
  • norepinephrine.
  • serotonin.
  • dopamine.
  • GABA.
  • glutamate.
  • endorphin.

3.Neurotransmitters are made of the following :

  • The amino acid neurotransmitters glutamate, GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid), and glycine. All of these are amino acids, though GABA is not an amino acid that's found in proteins. ...
  • The biogenic amines dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, serotonin, and histamine, which are made from amino acid precursors.

4.Neurotransmitters can impact a specific area of the brain, including behavior or mood, their malfunctions can cause effects ranging from mood swings to aggression and anxiety. ... Understanding the way neurotransmitters function in the brain could lead to better treatments for mental disorders.

Which statement best describes how artificial selection can decrease a population's biodiversity?
IrinaVladis [17]

The statement 'artificial selection decreases the rate of natural selection and change within a population' describes how artificial selection can decrease a population's biodiversity. It is a human-driven process.

<h3>Artificial selection</h3>

Artificial selection refers to the human-driven process by which different organisms (either plants or animals) are selected in order to combine desired features in offspring.

In artificial selection, organisms are mated (crossed) in order to select the progeny having desired phenotypic traits.

This process (artificial selection) leads to a decrease in natural genetic variation (biodiversity), which may have negative consequences in the successive rounds of selection.

1. Muscles move tendons attached to bone by performing an action called _______.
REY [17]

1. Contraction

2. Actin

3. Tendons

4. Epidermis

5. Dermis

6. Acne

7. A nerve signal from the brain arrives at the intersection of the nerve and muscle cells and releases acetylcholine from the neuron. This triggers chemical changes in the muscle cell involving ions, including Ca2+. Calcium triggers the thick filaments, made of myosin, to attach to the thin filaments, made of actin, in the muscle cell, and the myosin pulls the actin toward the center of the muscle cell. ATP causes the release of the actin fibers, allowing the muscle to relax and the process to begin again.
