Edwin Chindongo became addicted to opioids when the doctor prescribed Percocet for ongoing leg pain, the result of nerve damage

caused by diabetes. An opioid addiction occurs via pathways involving opioid receptors. These membrane-bound receptor proteins first bind to opioids and then send a signal to various locations in the body. First determine with what types of biomolecules these opioid receptor proteins are likely closely associated while embedded within the cell membrane. Then sort the following according to whether the membrane-bound opioid receptors are closely associating and interacting with that type of biomolecule while embedded within the cell membrane Items (5 items) (Orat and drop into the appropriate area below) Upids Sugars Fatty acids Amino acids Proteins Categories Interacts with receptor Does Hot interace Dandro

Opioid receptors interact with G proteins and arrestin. In consequence, opioid receptors interact with protein biomolecules.

<h3>Proteins and opioid receptors</h3>

Proteins are fundamental biomolecules composed of long chains of building blocks called amino acids linked by peptide bonds.

Proteins may have both structural (e.g., components of the cytoskeleton) and enzymatic functions (in this case, activation of signaling pathways).

Opioid receptors interact outside the cell membrane with opioid drugs (e.g., heroin) and with the G proteins inside the cell.

Opioid receptors also interact inside the cell with a special protein that is known as arrestin, thereby activating specific signaling pathways.

The excretory system helps the respiratory system by
Leto [7]

Answer:

The excretory system helps the respiratory system by removing carbon dioxide that is produced during respiration (third option).

Explanation:

The lungs are in charge of the breathing process, being the main organ of the respiratory system. Each lung is considered an excretory organ —belonging to the excretory system— since it is capable of eliminating the carbon dioxide (CO₂) produced by the metabolism during expiration.

As a result of the gaseous exchange, the oxygen entering the lungs through the inhaled air passes into the blood, while the CO₂ is removed from the blood. This CO₂ is removed during expiration, which makes the lungs part of the excretory system.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em>The excretory system does </em><u><em>not introduce more oxygen into the lungs</em></u><em>. </em>
  • <em>The </em><u><em>circulation of blood in and out of the lungs</em></u><em> is a function of the circulatory system. </em>
  • <u><em>Urine is not produced by breathing</em></u><em>.</em>

Which of the following is an enzyme required by the process of rephosphory,to create ATP? A) AD Pase B)AT Pase C)Polymerase D)AT
iren [92.7K]

ATPase is the enzyme which is required to create ATP and is denoted as option B.

<h3>What is ATPase?</h3>

This type of enzyme is found in the mitochondrion and catalyzes the formation of ATP which provides energy to cells.

The ATP which is referred to as adenosine triphosphate is formed from the molecules known as ADP and inorganic phosphate which are present in the body cells. This ensures that the daily energy needs of the body are met.

What will happen to a population of predators if there is a sudden increased in food for the prey
Umnica [9.8K]
At first, the population of predators would spike and increase quickly, but then over time, gradually decrease.

(This is because at first there's more food, so the predators population increases. But overtime it begins to level out and the predators' population catches up with the prey, and in result, doesn't continue increasing.)

tester [92]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer : = 1.25

Explanation:

i) Determine the rate of mtDNA percent divergence

From the data given the most closely related specie is Chimpanzee ( 8.8 sequence  difference )

Note : Given that this divergence took place seven million years from now

∴The rate of mtDNA percent  divergence per 1 millions years

= 8.8 / 7 = 1.25
