Answer:

Explanation:

Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and related species

Botulinum toxin commonly acts by binding to high-affinity recognition sites on the cholinergic nerve terminals and decreasing the release of acetylcholine, causing a neuromuscular blocking effect. Through this mechanism, muscle movement is inhibited in the area it is injected to.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

1,000 kcal

Explanation:

As a general rule, every trophic level only gains 10% of the energy from the trophic level.

So, the grass has 100,000 kcal of energy.  Assuming the bird eats grass, it only gets 10,000 kcal of energy.  Assuming the fox eats the bird, it only gains 1,000 kcal of energy.

In recent molecular genetic studies, genes associated with the neurotransmitter __________ have been linked to adhd
Luda [366]

In recent molecular genetic studies, genes associated with the neurotransmitter Dopamine have been linked to ADHD.

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. People with ADHD have a hard time focusing on tasks. Scientists have found that the low levels of dopamine in the brain are associated with the symptoms of ADHD. It is because the neurons in the brain have a high amount of protein called the dopamine transporters. These proteins block the dopamine from passing between the neurons. This decreases the effect of dopamine.
