In what way may drugs be used to affect neurotransmitters?

Chemistry

Orlov [11]3 years ago

Drugs interfere with the way neurons send, receive, and process signals via neurotransmitters. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter in the body. This allows the drugs to attach onto and activate the neurons. Although these drugs mimic the brain’s own chemicals, they don’t activate neurons in the same way as a natural neurotransmitter, and they lead to abnormal messages being sent through the network.

Other drugs, such as amphetamine or cocaine, can cause the neurons to release abnormally large amounts of natural neurotransmitters or prevent the normal recycling of these brain chemicals by interfering with transporters. This too amplifies or disrupts the normal communication between neurons.

Answer:

easy

Explanation:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.

The reaction H2SO4 + 2 NaOH -&gt; Na2SO4 + 2H2O represents an acid-base tritration. The equivalence point occurs when 24.75 mL o
artcher [175]
            moles NaOH = c · V = 0.2432 mmol/mL · 24.75 mL = 6.0192 mmol
            moles H2SO4 = 6.0192 mmol NaOH · 1 mmol H2SO4 / 2 mmol NaOH = 3.0096 mmol
Hence
            [H2SO4]= n/V = 3.0096 mmol / 38.94 mL = 0.07729 M
The answer to this question is  [H2SO4] = 0.07729 M

Is a covalent bond the same as an atomic compound? Please explain why and if not, please explain the difference.
dezoksy [38]
In an ionic bond, one atom essentially donate an electron to stabilize the other atom. A molecule bond is made when two or more atoms form a chemical bond, linking them together. The two types of bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds.
