We have already talked about another class of chemicals that helps send signals in the body—neurotransmitters. How are neurotr

ansmitters and hormones similar and how are they different?

Answer:

Similarities: both are chemical messengers, both can have (but don't necessarily have) similar structures (made from amino acids), both can be produced by the central nervous system (hypothalamus produces some hormones), certain molecules can act as both hormones and neurotransmitters (example: norepinephrine).

Differences: neurotransmitters are released by neurons across a synaptic gap, have very short distances to travel, and act very quickly on the neighboring cell. Hormones are released by glands and often have to travel longer distances, which means that they are slower-acting. Also, hormones are typically used for regulation (negative feedback) while neurotransmitters are used for stimulation of a neighboring cell.

Breathing into and out of a paper bag for a long period of time will lead to?
Ilya [14]

Breathing into and out of a paper bag for a long period of time will lead to respiratory acidosis.

<h3>What is respiratory acidosis?</h3>
  • When the lungs are unable to expel all of the carbon dioxide the body produces, a condition known as respiratory acidosis develops.
  • Body fluids, particularly the blood, become too acidic as a result.
  • The main causes of respiratory acidosis are inadequate ventilation and carbon dioxide buildup.
  • The main issue is an increase in arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2) and a decline in the arterial bicarbonate to arterial pCO2 ratio, which causes a drop in blood pH.
  • When there is acute respiratory acidosis, the body initially tries to make up for it.
  • If the acidosis lasts more than 12 hours, a reaction known as metabolic compensation2 takes place.
  • By increasing the release of hydrogen ions through ammonium, the kidneys will lower the blood's acidity.
  • Too much carbon dioxide in the body can result in general symptoms including headache, exhaustion, and twitching muscles.
  • Frequently, it goes away fast on its own.
  • But in cases of severe hypercapnia, the body is unable to return to a stable CO2 level, and the symptoms are more severe.

A neuron with a cell body located in the CNS whose primary function is connecting neurons is called a ________.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Intermediate neuron

Explanation:

Interneurons are the "middle man", neither a sensory or motor nueron, that creates neurial circuits, connecting a broad class of neurons in the spinal cord and brain. They enable communication from motor and sensory neurons in the central nervous systems and are classified into two groups; relay and local interneurons. Through neurial circuits, the brain is able to manage and deal with complex stuff such as decision-making and learning.

Starting with a protein that has been inserted into the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane with the Amino (N) terminal in the E
Vika [28.1K]

Answer and Explanation:

Ribosomes are the primary structure for protein synthesis. They can be found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum or floating in the cytosol.  

Free ribosomes are not attached to any cytoplasmic structure or organelle. They synthesize proteins only for internal cell use. Other ribosomes are attached to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum and they are in charge of synthesizing membrane proteins or exportation proteins. Free and attached ribosomes are identical and they can alternate their location. This means that although free ribosomes are floating in the cytosol, eventually, they can get attached to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.  

Synthesis of proteins that are destined to membrane or exportation starts in the cytoplasm with the production of a molecule portion known as a <u>signal aminoacidic sequence</u>. This signal sequence varies between 13 and 36 amino acids, is located in the <u>amino extreme</u> of the synthesizing protein, and when it reaches a certain length, it meets the <u>signal recognizing particle</u>. This particle joins the signal sequence of the protein and leads the synthesizing protein and associated ribosome to a specific region in the Rough endoplasmic reticulum where it continues the protein building. When they reach the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, the signal recognizing particle links to a receptor associated with a pore. Meanwhile, the ribosome keeps synthesizing the protein, and the enlarged polypeptidic chain goes forward the reticulum lumen through the pore. While this is happening, another enzyme cuts the signal sequence, an action that requires energy from the ATP hydrolysis. When the new protein synthesis is complete, the polypeptide is released into the reticulum lumen. Here it also happens the protein folding (which is possible by the formation of disulfide bridges of proteins are formed) and the initial stages of glycosylation (the oligosaccharide addition).  

Once membrane proteins are folded in the interior of the endoplasmic reticulum, they are packaged into vesicles and sent to the Golgi complex, where it occurs the final association of carbohydrates with proteins. The Golgi complex sends proteins to their different destinies. Proteins destined to a certain place are packaged all together in the same vesicle and sent to the target organelle. In the case of membrane proteins, they are packaged in vesicles and sent to the cell membrane where they get incrusted.  

There are certain signal sequences in the <u>carboxy-terminal extreme</u> of the protein that plays an important role during the transport of membrane proteins. A signal as simple as one amino acid in the c-terminal extreme is responsible for the correct transport of the molecule through the whole traject until it reaches the membrane.
