Which two neurotransmitters have roles in appetite suppression?

1 answer:

8 0

Serotonin and norepinephrine.

Serotonin decreases appetite by activating 5-HT2C receptors on dopamine-producing cells which will cause dopamine release to stop. Dopamine is responsible for the increase of appetite, therefore, serotonin decreases appetite.
Norepinephrine by increasing the production of glucose it also causes the body to feel satiety and, therefore, decreases the appetite.

imagine a cell-surface receptor protein is being newly synthesized. How can it get into the membrane that it will ultimately be

motikmotik

Answer:

the steps for a new receptor synthesis:

Explanation:

Do not forget the steps vary from an eukarityc cell to prokarityc one.

IN AN EUKARYOTIC CELL:

1- Transcription: in the nucleus, mRNA is synthesized from the DNA sequence that codifies the protein. Exons are spliced if needed by spliceosomes.

2- From nucleus into cytoplasm: mRNA goes through nuclear membrane into the cytoplasm were ribosomes, substrates for protein synthesis and other organelles are.

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- (The mRNA has a signal that is recognized by the rough endoplasmic reticulum) The peptide goes into this reticulum (RER) and then into Golgi apparatus. (more chemical modifications are made if needed). By this moment the protein has an inserted portion in a lipid membrane.

6- The protein is transported in a vessel that finally fusions with cytoplasmic membrane and the receptor is in destiny. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.

IN A PROKARYTIC CELL:

1- Transcription (no splicing is needed, there are not exons)

2- There are not nucleus and cytoplasm divided (no transport)

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- The mRNA has a signal that is guides the growing protein to cellular membrane. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.

Use the key to identify each species. Write the letter of each species (A to G) in the correct

sveticcg [70]

Dichotomous keys are useful to identify organisms according to their morphological traits. The given key provides enough macroscopic morphological traits to identify these Arachnida species.

-----------------------------------------------

A dichotomous key is a significantly useful tool to classify organisms. The key provides an easy and fast way for identification by describing different morphological traits, leading you to the correct taxonomic classification.

The key provides morphological descriptions about different taxonomic groups in an easy way to identify these traits in your individual.

The term dichotomous refers to how information is provided. You will always have two options (a and b, or 1 and 2), and you will have to choose one of them according to the characteristics of your organism.

In the exposed example, as the key provides morphological traits, we will separate the organisms into two groups:

the group that has the trait
the group that does not have it.

By recognizing each trait in each of the individuals, we will get to identify the species.

(a) Abdomen with a tail --------------------------- The only option is E

(b) Abdomen without a tail ---------------------- All the others A, B, C, D, F, G

2 ---Only for group A, B, C, D, F, G---

(a) Legs much longer than abdomen and cephalothorax ----------A and G

(b) Legs not much longer than abdomen and cephalothorax----- B, C, D, F

3 ---Only for group A, G---

(a) Hairs on the legs -----------------------------------The only option is A

(b) No hairs on the legs ------------------------------ G

4 ---Only for group B, C, D, F---

(a) Cephalothorax or abdomen segmented ----------------The only option is D

(b) Cephalothorax or abdomen not segmented ----------- B, C, F

5 ---Only for group B, C, F---

(a) Abdomen and cephalothorax of the same size --------The only option is F

(b) Abdomen and cephalothorax of different size -------B, C

6 ---Only for group B, C---

(a) Body covered with long hair ----------------------------------The only option is C

(b) Body not covered with hair ------------------------------------B

A → Tegenaria domestica

B → Ixodes hexagonus

C → Tyroglyphus longior

D → Chelifer tuberculatus

E → Abaliella dicranotarsalis

F → Poecilotheria regalis

G → Odielus spinosus

Which two characteristics of living things do viruses exhibit?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Viruses exhibit two out of above mentioned which are

1. They contain genetic information

2. They reproduce

Explanation:

Viruses can be classified as either living or non living organisms

They can be classified as living organisms because of the following reasons

1. They can mutate

2. They can grow

3. They evolve to adapt to their hosts

4. They are capable of multiplication in their host cells

5. They are made up of proteins and glycoproteins like cells do

6. They have genetic information which helps them to produce more viruses in the form of either RNA or DNA.

They can also be classified as non living organisms because

1. They can not exist outside their host cell

2. They do not carry out metabolism, they make use of their host mechanisms
