Hunter-Best [27]2 years ago
7 0

Acetylcholine is the fundamental neurotransmitter that transmits information from nerve cells to muscles. It is released by synaptic vesicles and binds to receptors on the muscle membrane.

  • In order to stimulate muscle contraction, acetylcholine is released from the SYNAPTIC VESICLES into the synaptic cleft.

  • Synaptic vesicles are a type of small organelle clustered at presynaptic terminals.

  • These vesicles (synaptic vesicles) are responsible for the uptake, storage, and release of different neurotransmitters.

Nady [450]

Answer: Anterograde direction.

Explanation:

Choline acetyltransferase is an enzyme made in the body of a neuron and that needs to be transferred to the axon terminal to perform its function. Its function is to bind acetyl-CoA to choline to form the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

The movement toward the cell body is called retrograde transport and the movement toward the synapse is called anterograde transport. So, since it is produced in the body of the cell and it has to go to the axon terminals, the choline acetyltransferase is transported in the anterograde direction.  

This type of transport is responsible for the movement of organelles such as mitochondria, lipids, synaptic vesicles, proteins from a neuron cell body through the cytoplasm of its axon called the axoplasm. <u>Because axons can sometimes be meters long, neurons cannot rely on diffusion to carry products to the end of their axons</u>. Dynein is a motor protein involved in this retrograde axonal transport. Its light chains bind cargo, and its globular head regions bind the microtubule, "moving forward" along it.

How does Mitochondria structure affect it's function?
borishaifa [10]
The mitochondrial structure affects its function because in its inner membrane, the cristae (folds) allow for more surface area which increases the amount of ATP that can be produced by the mitochondria.

Discuss what is meant by heterozygote advantage and use sickle-cell anemia as an example
vodomira [7]
When a single copy of a disease allele doesn't result in a disease but instead is good for the person or organism that carries it, we say that allele has a heterozygote advantage. In other words this occurs when heterozyhotes have increased fitness over both homozygotes.  A good example is sickcle cell trait, which protects against malaria in heterozygotes, but causes a deadly disease in homozygotes.
