When looking at a Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ), we know that neurotransmitters (NT) are released from the presynaptic cell and they then bind to the receptors that are located on the postsynaptic cell - this causes the effect of the NT being released.
So we are told that NT are still being released, however they are not having an effect. This would mean that they are probably being blocked by something - in this case, it seems that the neurotoxin is the culprit in the blocking of these receptors.
Therefore, if the NT cannot bind to the receptors on the postsynaptic cell, they are not going to have any effect, no matter how much NT is being released.
So the answer in this case is: The neurotoxin is most likely C) Blocking the receptors on the postsynaptic cell.
Answer:
Genetics are important because it'll pass down to your kids - For example, if you have a disease, your child can possibly obtain the disease from you.
Answer:
The correct answer is C) The compound is an allosteric inhibitor.
Explanation:
An inhibitor works in many ways, but this particular one binds to the allosteric site in the enzyme causing a decrease of the enzymatic activity. When this situation happens, the inhibitor doesn't bind to the active site, but it changes the enzyme's shape so it cannot work properly anymore.
Active site
A reactant
binds to an enzyme in a region known as the active site during a reaction. The active site is the
most important part of the enzyme because it is where the chemical reaction
happens. It usually contains three to four amino acids and a binding site that
binds the substrate and prepares it for catalysis.
