Answer:

Botulinum

Explanation:

Botox is used cosmetically to remove wrinkles and to treat certain muscular conditions. It is made from Botulinum neurotoxin obtained from the bacteria <em>Clostridium botulinum</em>. It is a very powerful neurotoxin but in Botox procedure it is used in extremely small concentration so it does not cause harmful effects. Botox process usually lasts for four to six months.

Botulinum acts as acetylcholine antagonist and inhibits the release of acetycholine neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction. This inhibits the signalling between motor neurons and facial muscles. As a result, the facial muscles are not able to contract and hence wrinkles are not formed on skin.

Answer;

-Botulin

Explanation;

Botox injections smooth facial wrinkles because botulin is an ACh antagonist that blocks the underlying facial muscles.

-Botox injections are the best known of a group of medications that use various forms of botulinum toxin to temporarily paralyze muscle activity. This toxin is produced by the microbe that causes botulism, a type of food poisoning.

-These botox injections have the ability to reduce the appearance of some facial wrinkles. They are also used to treat such problems as repetitive neck spasms, excessive sweating, overactive bladder and lazy eye.

-Botulinum toxin acts by binding presynaptically to high-affinity recognition sites on the cholinergic nerve terminals and decreasing the release of acetylcholine, causing a neuromuscular blocking effect.

When can a cell transport a molecule across the cell membrane without expending energy?
butalik [34]
When the concentration gradient of such molecules is high on the either the cytoplasmic side or the extracellular side of the cell. When the concentration gradient is high it flows freely through the cell membrane to the other side without expanding energy.

Neurotransmitters categorized as inhibitory are expected to _______. A. act independently of their receptor proteins B. close po
Ksenya-84 [330]

The correct option is D.

Neurotransmitters categorized as inhibitory are expected to hyperpolarize the membrane.

At inhibitory synapses, release of neurotransmitters causes inhibitory postsynaptic potentials or IPSP, which is a hyperpolarization of the presynaptic membrane.

Actually, depolarization and hyperpolarization occurs on neuron when an ion channel in the membrane open or close which can alter the ability of certain types of ions which enter from or exit out of the cell.

Neurotransmitters which is inhibitory have inhibitory effects on the neuron as it means they can decrease the possibility that the neuron will tend to fire an action. Modulatory neurotransmitters can also affect various neurons at the same time which results in the influencing effects of other chemical messengers.

Inhibitory neurotransmitter somehow decreases the action potential of the neuron. When the action potential falls below a certain level which is called threshold potential, the neuron will not be able to generate action potentials and thereby unable to exit the nearest neurons.

So, neurotransmitters are in general expected to hyperpolarize the membrane in some extent.

Explanation:

Research work needs to be conducted in some particular, well-organized processes. This systematic process aims at gathering ample of information to reach a conclusion by the researcher.

It includes-

(i) identification of a problem to raise a question on that;

(ii) reviewing that problem and learning all about it;

(iii) clarification of the problem is needed which make the scope of study narrow;

(iv) defining the concepts and terms of the research;

(v) studying a particular group which is the objective of the research; (v) The methods and participation is reviewed;
