Answer:

Greenhouse gases from human activities are the most significant driver of observed climate change since the mid-20th century.1 The indicators in this chapter characterize emissions of the major greenhouse gases resulting from human activities, the concentrations of these gases in the atmosphere, and how emissions and concentrations have changed over time. When comparing emissions of different gases, these indicators use a concept called “global warming potential” to convert amounts of other gases into carbon dioxide equivalents.

Explanation:

Why does it matter?

As greenhouse gas emissions from human activities increase, they build up in the atmosphere and warm the climate, leading to many other changes around the world—in the atmosphere, on land, and in the oceans. The indicators in other chapters of this report illustrate many of these changes, which have both positive and negative effects on people, society, and the environment—including plants and animals. Because many of the major greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere for tens to hundreds of years after being released, their warming effects on the climate persist over a long time and can therefore affect both present and future generations.

Answer:

None of the questions asked can be answered completely from the graph provided 

Reason

1) Which source of electricity generation caused the most emissions?: The graph does provide the information of greenhouse gas emission from different sectors like electricity, transport, industry, agriculture, commercial and residential.  Electricity can be generated from several sources like hydrothermal, nuclear, etc. However, information of how these sources contributes towards greenhouse gas emission via electricity sector is not provided in graph

2) What types of industries are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions?: The graph does provides the information about total greenhouse gas emissions from industries. However, individual contribution from different types of industries cannot be answered.

3) Which natural sources of greenhouse gas emissions are shown here?: The graph provides information about greenhouse gases emission only due to human activity like electricity generation, agriculture, etc. and not from natural sources. 

4) Why is agriculture the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions?: The reason for largest emission of greenhouse gas due to agriculture cannot be answer from information provided.

5) What caused the dip in greenhouse gas emissions in transportation after 2007?: The reason for dip in greenhouse gas in transportation cannot be answer from information provided.

A neurotransmitter may have an excitatory or an inhibitory effect on the postsynaptic cell, depending on __________.
Otrada [13]

A neurotransmitter can have an excitatory or inhibitory effect on the postsynaptic cell, depending on <u>which of its </u><u>receptor(s</u><u>) are present on the </u><u>postsynaptic</u><u> (target) cell.</u>

<h3>How do excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters act?</h3>

Sometimes neurotransmitters can bind to receptors and cause an electrical signal to be transmitted through the cell (excitatory). In other cases, the neurotransmitter can prevent the signal from continuing, preventing the message from being carried (inhibitory).

With this information, we can conclude that a neurotransmitter is a signaling molecule secreted by a neuron to affect another cell across a synapse.
