Answer : The correct option is, (D) unsaturated

Explanation :

As the organic compounds are classified into two categories which are acyclic (aliphatic) and cyclic (aromatic) compounds.

Acyclic compounds are also classified into two categories which are saturated and unsaturated compounds.

Saturated hydrocarbon : These are the compounds which containing single bonds between the carbon-carbon atoms. In saturated compounds, there are more number of hydrogen bonded with the carbon atom.

Unsaturated hydrocarbon : These are the compounds which containing double and triple bonds between the carbon-carbon atoms. In unsaturated compounds, there are less number of hydrogen bonded with the carbon atom.

Aromatic : Aromatic compounds are the type of an unsaturated compounds but it is not necessary that the unsaturated compounds are aromatic. It is a compound which containing the \pi electrons and all the \pi electrons are in conjugation.

Hence, if the carbon atom of hydrocarbon is bonded to less than 4 other atoms, the hydrocarbon is considered as unsaturated.

reddit The amount of NE released by sympathetic nerve terminals will be most strongly influenced by a change in which of the fol
erastovalidia [21]

Answer: Extracellular [Ca2+]

Explanation:

The sensitivity and density of the alpha receptors serve to <em>enhance the response to the release of</em> <em>norepinephrine (NE)</em> . However, they do not exert a strong influence as the concentration of calcium ions on the amount of <em>norepinephrine (NE)</em> released by sympathic nerve terminals.

The release of neurotransmitters depends more on either an external or internal stimulus.This results in an action potential which on reaching a nerve terminal, results in the opening of Ca²⁺ channels in the neuronal membrane. Because the extracellular concentration of Ca²⁺ is greater than the intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration, Ca²⁺ flows into the nerve terminal. This triggers a series of events that cause the vesicles containing <em>norepinephrine (NE)</em> to fuse with the plasma membrane and release <em>norepinephrine (NE)</em> into the synapse. The higher the action potential, the higher the Ca²⁺ flow into the terminals resulting in higher amount of <em>norepinephrine (NE)</em> into the synapse, and vice versa.

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is one of several enzymes that degrade catecholamines such as dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. It serves a regulatory purpose to lower the concentration of norepinephrine upon its release from nerve terminals.

What type of specialized cell in the eye is used for detecting low levels of light?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Cone Cell

Explanation:

There are about six to seven million cones in a human eye and are most concentrated towards the macula. Cones are less sensitive to light than the rod cells in the retina (which support vision at low light levels), but allow the perception of color.

What is the [H3O+] if the [OH-] is 1 x 10 -8?
Tanzania [10]

From the calculation, the concentration of the oxonium ions is 1 * 10^-6 M

<h3>What is concentration?</h3>

The term concentration refers to the amount of substances present in the solution. There are several units that can be used to show the concertation of a substances such as moles/liter, gram per liter, parts per billion, parts per billion, percentage etc.

Now we know that water is composed of the hydrogen and the hydroxide ions and the product of the both is generally known as the ion product of water and have a value of 1 * 10^-14.

If that be the case, we are in order to write the expression;

[H3O+]  [OH-] = 1 * 10^-14

[H3O+] = 1 * 10^-14/ [OH-]

[H3O+] = 1 * 10^-14/ 1 x 10^ -8

[H3O+] = 1 * 10^-6 M
