Neurotransmitter leaves the presynaptic cell by exocytosis. It is released in the synaptic space, and moves to the postsynaptic membrane to meet its receptor. When binding occurs, it triggers a response in the new cell.

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

Every neuron forms connections with another cell.  

When a presynaptic cell sends information, a neurotransmitter is released.  

After the exocytosis event, this chemical substance travels through the synaptic space forward to the other cell. Once there, it binds to its receptors in the postsynaptic membrane.  

When the joining occurs, the receptor acquires a channel shape. This change allows the ion transference that will make possible the modification of the action potential.  

This binding produces the excitatory postsynaptic potential -depolarization-.

A new action potential initiates in the postsynaptic cell and spreads to the rest of the membrane, depolarizing it.

If the communication between cells needs to stop, the neurotransmitter will be taken out from the synaptic space <em>instead of binding to its receptor. </em>

There are two mechanisms by which the neurotransmitter can be eliminated: by deactivation or reuptake.

Question 8 (3 points)
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Base

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA, is one of the four major biomolecules in living organisms. It is a polymer made up of monomers called NUCLEOTIDES. The nucleotides that make up a DNA molecule is composed of three substances namely: Sugar (deoxyribose), nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group.

However, among these three components of the nucleotide monomer, NITROGENOUS BASE is the only portion that is not the same in every DNA molecule. There are four nitrogenous bases in nature viz: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. These four bases can be alternated in a DNA molecule.

Note that, phosphate group and deoxyribose sugar are constant in every DNA.
