Complete question:

Receptors trigger one of two effector pathways resulting in changes in neuronal activity. These changes will, ultimately, effect gene expression. Which effector pathway is characterized by ion flux through transmitter-activated channels resulting in an altered membrane potential and neuronal activity?

A.  Slow effector pathways

B.  Modulated effector pathways

C.  Rapid effector pathways

D.  NMDA glutamate receptor pathways

Answer:

D.  NMDA glutamate receptor pathways

Explanation:

The NMDA glutamatergic receptor is a cationic channel receptor modulated by a ligand that allows the transport of Na+, K+, and Ca2+. Under certain situations, it exhibits particular permeability to Ca2+. The receptor has different regions that are susceptible to modulation by endogenous and exogenous agents. The receptor can be found at most excitatory synapses, where it responds to the neurotransmitter glutamate. During synapsis, the presynaptic membrane releases L-glutamate, which is received by NMDA glutamatergic receptor. The receptor plays a regulatory role because activates signaling cascades that depend on calcium.

These receptors are involved in normal synaptic transmission, in a diverse physiological phenomenon, and might be responsible for neurodegenerative processes.

How does the structure of the cell membrane support its function?
mylen [45]

Answer:

Phospholipids form the basic structure of a cell membrane, called the lipid bilayer. Scattered in the lipid bilayer are cholesterol molecules, which help to keep the membrane fluid consistent. Membrane proteins are important for transporting substances across the cell membrane

When observing a bird skin cell in g2 under a microscope, you count 160 total chromatids. how many chromosomes does a male chick
zloy xaker [14]
When a cell is in G2 phase, it has already doubled in S phase its DNA, meaning that for each chromosome we have two chromatids -> 2n(number of chromosomes)×2(number of chromatids per chromosome)=number of chromatids.
If 160 is the number of chromatids on G2 phase of a chicken cell, it means that the cell has 80 chromosomes (2n), and after meiosis, process to form a sperm cell, will only have 40 chromosomes (n).
