Based on the characteristics above, this toxin can be categorized as EXOTOXIN. These toxins (exotoxins) are produced by different types of bacteria.

Exotoxins are a broad category of proteins produced by bacteria that enter host cells in order to alter their physiological properties.

These toxins (exotoxins) can be secreted by Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria.

Examples of exotoxins include botulinum toxin secreted by <em>Clostridium botulinum</em> bacteria, tetanospasmin toxin secreted by <em>Clostridium tetani </em>bacteria, etc.

In the marine mollusk, Aplysia, serotonin binds to a G-protein-coupled receptor and activates a Gs subunit. The resulting activa
dem82 [27]

The serotonin binds to a G-protein -coupled receptor and activates a G-subunit . This results in activation of PKA and closing of the potassium channels. This will subsequently decrease the influx of potassium ions into the cell, and lead to depolarization of the cell. This changes the membrane potential of the cell.

Aplysia are sea slugs which fall under the category of mollusks. Serotonin is a hormone which is responsible for the transfer of electrical signals from the brain to different parts. In this particular mollusk, serotonin was studied to find that it is an essential neurotransmitter that is responsible for the maintenance of synaptic plasticity in the neurons. Synaptic plasticity is the feature which is essential for the communication of neurons. This is the modification which occurs at the synapses during the transmission of synapses. Without this activity, the transmission of signals would be impossible.

maks197457 [2]
Stable isotopes refers to those isotopes that do not undergo radioactive decay. Oxygen atoms with atomic number of 16 and 18 are examples of stable isotopes. These isotopes of oxygen are usually found in substances such as polar ice and calcite. These substances are usaually measure with isotope fractionation and the ratios obtained are used to estimate water temperature of ancient oceans. From this, scientists can find out facts about ancient climates,
