8 0

A neurotransmitter is a chemical substance that is released by a nerve fiber due to the presence of nerve impulses; it transport chemical information from one nerve to the other. A receptor refers to a protein molecule that is found on the cell membranes of every cell, it functions by responding in an appropriate manner to chemical signals that are coming from outside of the cell.
The relationship between the neurotransmitter and the receptor is that the neurotransmitter molecules typically bound with the appropriate receptors and bring about the expected changes in the targeted postsynaptic cell.

It doens't have DNA and it doesn't reproduce. It's just plasma and it is not a living being, it just moves because of the chemical reactions that occur. </span>

What is agricultural monoculture and why is that bad for crops?

Katarina [22]

<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

<h3>Modern monoculture requires vast amounts of rain for irrigating crops as moisture retention is limited in the soil. A lack of topsoil also increases rain runoff. To achieve this vast amount of extra water it means draining from lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, which is exhausting natural resources and aquatic ecosystems.</h3>
