Clostridium botulinum is a bacterium that produces botulinum toxin that inhibits the release of acetylcholine. Which description

best fits how muscle cells will respond to a lack of acetylcholine?

Answer:

paralysis of muscles cells will set-in

Explanation:

For skeletal muscles to contract, Neurotransmitter Acetycholine  in the synaptic cleft , diffuses across  the synapse to bind with the membrane receptors ( sacolemma ) of the post-synaptic  muscle fibre.  

This acetrycholine-recepetor binding stimulated opening of  Ligand-gated Sodium channels,leading to depolarization.If the stimulus is upto threshold levels, Action potential is generated, and propagated along  sacolemma reticulum to the centre of muscle fibre.

The arrival of action potential stimulated the the opening of Voltage gated Calcium Channels, and Ca+ diffuses out of the Sacoplasmic  reticulum.

This is followed by the binding of Ca+ to troponin, which prompted tropomyosin  exposure of  myosin-binding site, and the consequent formation of cross-bridges. The  sacolemma is then shortened, and the muscle contracts.

Now if  the receptor- binding action of acetycholine is inhibited by botulinum, the excitatory action of acetycholine will seize. Depolarization will not occur, the muscle cells will be in permanent state of membrane potentials, action potential will not be generated and the  muscles will be paralysed.

Answer:

muscle cells will  become paralyzed when there is a lack of acetylcholine

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario the muscle cells will  become paralyzed when there is a lack of acetylcholine. That is because the Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical within the brain and body that acts as a neurotransmitter to send signals from the brain to the muscle cells. Without those signals the muscle cells cannot respond and are therefore paralyzed.

If everyone on the planet used the same amount of
Contact [7]

Answer:

While Americans constitute the 5% of the world population, they use around the 24% of the world's energy.

Then, if the 100% of the population were like the Americans, we have:

5%*x = 100%

x = 100%/5% = 20

the whole population is 20 times the population of the US, then the total energy used is 20 times the energy used in the US.

Then the energy that the 100% of the population would use is equal to:

20*24% = 480%

Sowe actually would need like 5 Earths.

So none of the options is matches this, but this may be because this question is about some specific resources and not for the specific energy used. The closest option is 200%

What is protein synthesis?
mixer [17]

Answer:

C) Protein synthesis is the process through which cells read DNA and build the molecular components of new cells.

Explanation:

DNA is the genetic material of the organisms. It stores the genetic information used to make the molecules and other components required for the new cells. This process of formation of molecules is called protein synthesis. During protein synthesis, The DNA forms a complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus of a cell. Synthesis of mRNA from DNA is called transcription. The mRNA released into the cytoplasm where codons on mRNA sequence translate into a polypeptide or protein molecules by linking a chain of amino acids by peptide bonds.
