The right answer is C
This process is called anaerobic respiration. It doesn't need dioxygen to occur (it can happen with or without O2).
Anaerobic respiration is a mechanism in which electrons pass through a chain of transporters whose final acceptor is a mineral substance other than oxygen, unlike aerobic respiration where the final acceptor is dioxygen. The final acceptor may be the nitrate ion (as in the case of Pseudomonas), carbon dioxyde or the sulfate ion.
Some bacteria (Pseudomonas) are able, anaerobically, to reduce nitrates to nitrites and then, depending on the case, to dinitrogen (with the enzyme Nitrate reductase A).
NO3- ==> NO2- ==> N2.
Complete question:
The endplate potential (EPP) at the frog neuromuscular junction occurs because ACh simultaneously increases the conductance of the postsynaptic membrane to Na and K
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
The Acetylcholine neurotransmitter is released from the presynaptic cell by the process of exocytosis.
Once the molecule is in the intercellular space, it moves forward the postsynaptic membrane to join its receptor in the motor plate.
Once the joining has occurred, the receptor acquires a channel shape allowing the ion transference that will make possible the modification of the action potential. Ions traffic will consist of the pass of sodium and calcium to the interior of the cell and potassium to the exterior. Quantitatively, the interchange Na-K is the most significant.
K+ follows a concentration gradient, while Na+ follows an electrochemical gradient. The interchange results in an increase of positive charges in the interior of the muscular cell.
Whenever there is a sufficient number of Acetylcholine receptors are active, the depolarization threshold of the motor endplate is exceeded. This activates an action potential that extends to the rest of the muscle membrane.
