storchak [24]3 years ago
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.

Jupiter has a similar composition to the sun. Why is the sun a star while Jupiter is not?
irakobra [83]

The correct answer is (b) Jupiter has mass less than that of sun which cannot generate enough pressure which can start hydrogen fusion. Jupiter has similar composition as both are entirely made up of hydrogen and helium. They both differ in the core and mass. The mass of Jupiter is so small as compared that it would not be able to generate enough pressure to start hydrogen fusion. Jupiter's core is made of metallic hydrogen and the core of sun is so hot that the hydrogen splits into electrons and protons. This generates hydrogen fusion.

Thus, Sun a star and Jupiter is not a star.

Which statement is not true regarding substrate channeling?
Nady [450]

<u>Answer</u>:

It makes the kinetics of the complex so rapid as to prevent it from being the rate-limiting step(s) of a pathway  is not true regarding substrate channelling

<u>Explanation</u>:

Substrate channelling is the transfer of transitional metabolic products of one enzyme straightly to other enzyme or any active site without its release into solution.The metabolic pathway can be made more rapid and also efficient than it would actually be through channelling if enzymes could have been randomly designed. It occurs in many ways like in pyruvate dehydrogenase complex may be tryptophan synthase or can be dihydrofolate reductase thymidylate synthase.

Through which tissue do sugars get transported to reach the leaves during growth and reproduction?
nika2105 [10]

The correct  answer is Phloem

Explanation:

Phloem is a transport tissue of vascular plants. It is used for transport of food and nutrients, so sugar is definitively brought by phloem.Other choices cannot be right because collenchyma and parenchyma are ground tissues, while xylem is the carrier tissue similar to phloem but worked for a conveyor of water and minerals.

Which statement correctly describes metabolic reactions? Intermediary metabolism breaks down material and transforms fuels into
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Catabolic processes break down material and transforms fuels into cellular energy, whereas anabolic processes require energy for biosynthesis.

Explanation:

Metabolism is a constructive and destructive process which occurs in the body of living organisms. There are two types of metabolism i. e. catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is a destructive process in which food molecules are broken down into simpler substances for the production of energy while anabolism used this energy for the formation of new cells and muscles etc.
