Answer: a.  only autotrophs can convert solar energy into chemical energy

Energy must flow through autotrophs because they take the energy from the sun, then herbivores feed off the autotrophs converting energy from the plant into energy that they can use. Carnivores then feed off the herbivores, and finally carnivores feed off of each other, and the process starts over again. Heterotrophs only generate a small fraction of their energy through photosynthesis, making autotrophs very important.

The neuromuscular junction is a well-studied example of a chemical synapse. Which of the following statements describes a critic
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

A- Acetylcholine is released by axon terminals of the motor neuron.

Explanation:

The general mechanism of muscle contraction can be explained as follows:

a) The action potential which is generated, travels along the motor nerve to its ends on muscle fiber (or motor end plate) at the neuro-muscular junction.

b) The nerve endings then secrete small amounts of neurotransmitter called acetylcholine.

c) The actylecholine binds to the receptors on the membrane of muscle fiber and opens the voltage gated sodium channels.

d) Opening of these channels leads to flow of large quantities of sodium ions into the muscle fiber which ultimately results in initiation of action potential in muscle fiber.  

e) This action potential depolarizes the fiber including the T-tubules, triggering the release of calcium ions from sarcoplasmic reticulum.

f) The calcium ions thus released initiated the process of muscle contraction.
