Answer:
A. Neurotransmitters can act as ligands.
B. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter. It can bind to an acetylcholine receptor on the surface of a cell. If this receptor is also a sodium channel, we would call acteylcholine a ligand and its receptor a ligand gated receptor.

Explanation:
Neurotransmitter are chemicals that transfer signals between neurons and nerve cells. They control some physical and physiologocal activity such as appetite, food.
Acetycoline is an example of neurotransmitter and it is located in the parasympathetic nervous system. Ligand are substance that form complexes with biomolecule. They serve biological purpose with this biomolecule.
This ligand binds to target site. Neurotransmitter act as ligand by binding to receptor in the postsynaptic neuron and acetycoline a type of neurotransmitter can also serve as ligand they bind to acetycoline receptor on cell surface.
Answer is A. A population becomes separated by environmental factors into two groups that do not reproduce with one another.
When a population of a species become geographically separated then gene flow between them stops. Over a period of time, the population may become genetically different in response to the natural selection due to different environments. Selection and genetic drift will act differently on these two separated populations. This will results into two separate species. This type of speciation is called allopatric speciation.
Answer: Ras activity would be significantly slower in its response to extracellular signals.
Explanation:
• GTPase acts as a catalyst in converting RasGTP (active state) to RasGDP (inactive state)
• A mutant lacking the GTPase activating protein cannot activate GTPase so thee will nit be any functional GTPase
• if GTPase is not present then RasGTP may be expdessed for longer periods of time and there will be a lag until it eventually switches "off)
