Answer:

Botulism toxin disrupts motor control <u>by blocking the release of acetylcholine by motor neurons.   </u>

Explanation:

Acetylcholine is the principal neurotransmitter in motor neurons. If there is no release of acetylcholine from the presynaptic motor neuron, the ion channels will not open. If the ion channels do not open, Na+ cannot enter the postsynaptic membrane to start an action potential. As a result, the muscle can not move.

The ion channels have a specif receptor for acetylcholine. When acetylcholine binds to the receptors, the channels open. With the ion channels open, Na+ can enter the postsynaptic membrane to start an action potential. This does not happen in the presence of botulism toxin since it blocks the release of acetylcholine.

Do you think acid rain is harmful
insens350 [35]
Acid rain can be very harmful, mildly harmful, or not harmful at all. It mainly depends on the density of the rain, and how bad the current air pollution in the area is. Also, it depends on how often the area gets acid rain. The first few times an area gets acid rain, it's nearly harmless. Then, the next few it can be very dangerous, but eventually gets weaker over time. More air polluted areas are more likely to get much more harmful acid rain.
Summary: Acid rain is usually mildly harmful, mostly only harmful to infrastructures.<span />
