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.

If a mass of a cube were 48.0g and its volume 24.0 cm3 what would its density be
EastWind [94]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question

mass = 48 g

volume = 24 cm³

We have

density =  \frac{48}{24}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

#12 please! worth 40 points
Serga [27]
Okay so because of the difference in density a simple method for telling the difference between the two is to put a sample in a container with oil, because water has a higher density than the oil it would sink to the bottom but alcohol on the other hand is lighter than oil and would float on top of the oil.

However with this question I think that what you would do is use the ice to find out what the substance is, it would float on top of the liquid if it were water because the water is denser than ice but the ice would sink if it was alcohol because the alcohol is less dense than ice. 


I hope this helps you, good luck : )
