When looking at a Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ), we know that neurotransmitters (NT) are released from the presynaptic cell and they then bind to the receptors that are located on the postsynaptic cell - this causes the effect of the NT being released.
So we are told that NT are still being released, however they are not having an effect. This would mean that they are probably being blocked by something - in this case, it seems that the neurotoxin is the culprit in the blocking of these receptors.
Therefore, if the NT cannot bind to the receptors on the postsynaptic cell, they are not going to have any effect, no matter how much NT is being released.
So the answer in this case is: The neurotoxin is most likely C) Blocking the receptors on the postsynaptic cell.
Answer:
The function of the ovum is to carry the set of chromosomes contributed by the female and create the right environment to enable fertilization by the sperm. Ova also provide nutrients for the growing embryo until it sinks into the uterus and the placenta takes over
Explanation:
Answer:
Three factors are used.
The availability of sunlight.
The distance from shore and
The water depth.
Explanation:
<u>Availability of Sunlight
</u>
The photic zone is the upper part of the ocean into which sunlight penetrates.
<u>Distance from Shore
</u>
The intertidal zone is the strip of land where the land and ocean meet and overlap, or the zone between high and low tides.
The neritic zone is the marine-life zone that extends from the low-tide line out to the shelf break.
The oceanic zone is the marine-life zone beyond the continental shelf.
<u>Water Depth</u>
The pelagic zone is open zone of any depth. Animals in this zone swim or float freely.
The benthic zone is the marine-life zone that includes any sea-bottom surface regardless of its distance from shore.
The abyssal zone is a subdivision of the benthic zone characterized by extremely high pressures, low temperatures, low oxygen, few nutrients, and no sunlight
