Answer:

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target effector cell. ... In many synapses, the presynaptic part is located on an axon and the postsynaptic part is located on a dendrite or soma.

The function of the synapse is to transfer electric activity (information) from one cell to another. The transfer can be from nerve to nerve (neuro-neuro), or nerve to muscle (neuro-myo). The region between the pre- and postsynaptic membrane is very narrow, only 30-50 nm

Why are all cells very small?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Cells are small because they need to keep a surface area to volume ratio that allows for adequate intake of nutrients while being able to excrete the cells waste. That is why the cell needs to be small. The smaller it is, the larger the surface area to volume ratio is. ... This is why cells are so small.

explicación:

The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger. Thus, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. ... That is why cells are so small.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The three processes from left to right are:

<u>Replication</u>   DNA  <u>Trancription</u>  RNA  <u>Translation</u> Protein

Explanation:

The process in question in the diagram is called the central dogma of life which describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to Protein. The three processes involved are:

  1. DNA Replication
  2. Transcription
  3. Translation

DNA Replication:

DNA replication is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself. Replication of DNA is semi-conservative. this means that each new helix is a combination of an old (parent) strands and a new (daughter strand). The parental strand is used as a template to generate a complementary daughter strand.

Transcription:

Transcription is the formation of an RNA transcript of the DNA template. This process yields a mRNA that is further used as a code to manufacture proteins in the process of translation.

Translation:

Translation decodes the mRNA formed in transcription to generate proteins with specific amino acid sequence.
