Answer:
Hormones can be proteins, lipids or cholesterol-based molecules. Neurotransmitters are protein. The main difference between hormones and neurotransmitters is that Hormones are produced in the endocrine glands and released into the bloodstream where they find their movement targets at a distance from their origin. In contrast, Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic space by a terminal of an excited presynaptic nerve cell and transmit a nerve signal to the neighboring postsynaptic nerve cell.
Explanation:
<span>One of the key ideas in biology is that structure always impacts function. For one, a neuron has a long axon because it helps to transmit signals from cell to cell, allowing the nervous system to function. Secondly, epithelial cells are long and thin, which allows them to cover numerous organs in the body. Finally, muscle cells are more rod-shaped and are comprised of contractile units which allows them to withstand the wear and tear of muscle movement.</span>

Answer:
a mutation that blocks the GTPase activity of Ras
Explanation:
A G protein in inactive state is GDP bound but as soon as a guanine exchange factor (GEF) exchanges it with GTP it gets activated which means that in GTP bound state it is active. G - protein has endogenous GTPase activity. Upon interaction of GAP, the GTPase activity of this protein is exhibited. When GAP is present, hydrolysis of GTP into GDP occurs which leads to inactivation of G protein. A mutation which will block GTPase activity of Ras will therefore result in constitutive active signaling even in the absence of ligand binding to it's receptor. In such scenario, GTP will not be hydrolyzed into GDP so signaling will be up-regulated.
Answer:
The Epipelagic Zone (sunlight zone)
Explanation:
The depth of this zone is about 200 meters (656 meters) below the ocean's surface. Phytoplanktons dwell there because sunlight penetrates this zone which facilitates the process of photosynthesis.
Hope this helps!
