Triggering of the muscle action potential occurs after

Biology
1 answer:
vekshin12 years ago
4 0

Triggering of the muscle action potential occurs after Ach binds to chemically gated channels in the motor end plate membrane. Acetylcholine (Ach) is a neurotransmitter produced by nerve cells.

An action potential is an electrical signal that travels along the cell membrane as a wave.

This action potential (muscle action potential) drives the contraction of muscle fibers.

When the action potential reaches the neuromuscular junction (i.e., the motor end-plate), acetylcholine (Ach) is released into the synaptic cleft.

Subsequently, Ach can bind and open specific channels localized on the surface of the muscle cells, thereby depolarizing them and triggering muscle contraction.

Why is innate host resistance a type of nonspecific immune response?.
ASHA 777 [7]

These defenses are described as nonspecific because they do not target any specific pathogen; rather, they defend against a wide range of potential pathogens.

<h3>Is innate immunity nonspecific resistance?</h3>

The innate immune system provides this kind of nonspecific protection through a number of defense mechanisms, which include physical barriers such as the skin, chemical barriers such as antimicrobial proteins that harm or destroy invaders, and cells that attack foreign cells and body cells harbouring infectious agents.

Thus,  they do not target any specific pathogen; rather, they defend against a wide range of potential pathogens.

Which of these CORRECTLY explains the difference between the processes of photosynthesis and respiration?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The correct answer would be C) The Calvin cycle takes place only in the chloroplast.

The major difference between photosynthesis and respiration is that photosynthesis takes place only in plants while respiration takes place in all the living organisms including plants and humans.

Green plants and few bacteria contain special organelle called chloroplast which enables them to perform photosynthesis.

Hence, Calvin cycle (light independent phase of photosynthesis) takes place only in plants that too in chloroplasts.

In contrast, Krebs cycle usually takes place in mitochondria in both plants and animals and glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.

The electron transport chain takes place in mitochondria in animals whereas in plants it takes place in both mitochondria and thylakoid membrane.
