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.

Which statement is most accurate concerning how photosystem II compares to the electron transport chain (ETC) of mitochondria? I
nordsb [41]

The correct answer is: In both systems, ATP is produced by chemiosmosis.  

Both of the processes, photosynthesis and electron transport chain in mitochondria use chemiosmosis (movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient) to produce energy or ATP (via ATP synthase). The movement of hydrogen ions across the thylakoid membrane in order to galvanize the production of ATP is equal to the movement of those ions across the inner mitochondria membrane. Electrons are accepted by NADPH in photosynthesis (but not FADH2 as in mitochondria).
