What takes place at the synapse?

Biology
2 answers:
Sedbober [7]2 years ago

The most commonly found synapses in humans are chemical synapses. This occurs due to electrical activity in the presynaptic neurons triggering the release of neurotransmitters.

The neurotransmitters disperse across the synaptic cleft to then bind themselves to specialized receptors of postsynaptic neurons. Once this occurs, the neurotransmitters then either excites or inhibits the postsynaptic neuron. Exciting the postsynaptic neuron leads to a firing of action potential (electrical impulses), whereas inhibiting the postsynaptic neuron prevents the transmission of a signal.

Answer:i think At a chemical synapse, one neuron releases neurotransmitter molecules into a small space (the synaptic cleft) that is adjacent to another neuron. The neurotransmitters are contained within small sacs called synaptic vesicles, and are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis.

A paragraph on the 3 forms of energy involved in a muscle contraction
irga5000 [103]
There are three types of energy involved in a muscle's contraction. There is metabolism, catabolism, and anabolism. Metabolism is the events that are carried out in the human body to create energy and other things needed for activity. Catabolism is the process during the organic matter is broken down and the energy is released, it takes place during increased movement. Anabolism is the energy-consuming process that substances are created, it takes place when there is little movement. All three of these work to gather in muscle contraction.

Which of the following statements is compatible with Darwin’s theory of evolution? much of the variation in individuals of a pop
rjkz [21]

Answer:

A. much of the variation in individuals of a population is heritable

Explanation:

Charles Darwin is a scientist well known for his development of the concept of evolution. Darwin was able to deduce that the species of a population have a common ancestor and that as time passes there is a modification in the characteristics of these species that makes it easier for them to adapt to their environments. These traits that were inherited from past descendants, were helpful traits that made it possible for their own descendants to be able to survive better than their peers. He noted that there were limited resources for survival, therefore it was a case of the survival of the fittest.

Natural selection was the term used by him to describe how species of a population survived over time. Members of a population had varied traits that enabled them to survive. For example, the descendants of an ancestor could have slightly different shapes, colors, sizes, and other features but still maintain traceable heritable traits.
