 <span>The teeth and the skin tend to be stained by the action of nicotine and tar. Nicotine is a substance that is extracted from the leaves of tobacco and that can also be produced synthetically; It is a toxic drug that in small doses produces euphoria, decreased appetite, etc., and in high doses can cause serious poisoning.</span>

Nicotine and Tar are the two major components of tobacco that causes teeth staining. Just like our skin, our teeth have pores, which can easily absorb nicotine and tar and turn white teeth yellow. Although nicotine itself is colorless but when it combines with oxygen it turns yellow. Even nicotine infuses electronic cigarettes causes teeth discoloration.  

Most people have dark brown stains on their teeth, it is because of the way they consume tobacco. When tobacco is chewed along with saliva, it produces dark brown liquid which is extremely staining.

A bandicoot, sea lion and a zebra have similarities and differences in their body structures. What does this info about these st
sergey [27]

Answer:

First off, the info tells me that bandicoots, sea lions, and zebras could have all shared a common ancestor at one point in time and then developed differences to be better suited to their respective environments. Further, the similarities in their body structures cannot be attributed to convergent evolution (evolution that produces analogous structures) because the three organisms grow in very different environments; thus it had to have come from homology (common ancestry). Having said that, this tells us that the ancestors most likely had the trait of whatever is shared amongst the body structures of bandicoots, sea lions, and zebras, as this was the trait they passed on. Hope this is helpful :)

________ is the primary efferent neurotransmitter secreted by efferent axons of the cns.
const2013 [10]
The correct answer is "acetylcholine".

Acetylcholine is the primary efferent neurotransmitter of the central nervous system. Acetylcholine functions in the autonomic nervous system as a neurotransmitter in the autonomic ganglia of both parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system. It also functions as the primary neurotransmitter for the parasympathetic nervous system. Acetylcholine also functions as the neurotransmitter released by motor neurons at the motor end plate to stimulate muscle excitation-contraction coupling.
