When a neuron responds to a particular neurotransmitter by opening gated ion channels, the neurotransmitter is serving as which

part of the signal pathway?
Biology
1 answer:
GrogVix [38]2 years ago
8 0

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A) relay molecule

B) transducer

C) signal molecule

D) response molecule

Answer:

C) signal molecule

Explanation:

The transmission of signals in the neurons takes place in the form of electrical energy and chemical energy. The signals get transmitted in the form of electrical signals inside the neurons but when the signals have to be passed on to the next neuron on the pathway then the electrical signals get converted into the chemical signals.

The electrical signals cause the release of the chemical signals molecules called neurotransmitter from the synaptic vesicles in the presynaptic neuron and also opens the gated ion channels at the terminal. The neurotransmitter thus acts as a signal molecule in the transmission of a signal through neurons.

Thus,  C) signal molecule  is the correct answer.

larisa [96]

Answer:

The second code in this case is the procedure for perfusion

Explanation:

Extracorporeal perfusion is the process of diverting the patient's blood via an artificial circulatory device to enable the gas exchange (oxygen absorbed, carbon dioxide removed) to take place. Only medical experts should handle this procedure so as to avoid any and all undesired scenarios or negligence towards patient care.

The Sun has six regions or layers. Identify the Sun's layers, beginning with the innermost and moving out. 1. Innermost core 2.
ycow [4]

Answer: Beginning from the inside and moving towards outside the sun has six layers. Sun is the ultimate source of energy for all the living organisms on earth. The heat and light that comes out of the sun is through the various layers that is present in the sun.

1. Innermost core: It is the region from where the sun gets all the energy. Here hydrogen and helium is present. Due to high pressure of the surrounding layers hydrogen fuses into helium releasing high energy photons.

2. Radiative zone: The high energy photons are now transferred from core to radiative zone. Here the high energy photons are constantly absorbed and re-emitted. It takes millions and billions of years for these high energy particles to come out of this radiative zone.

3. Convective zone: The temperature of this region is quite cooler as compared to that of core and radiative zone. The plasma present in this region makes the magnetic field of the sun.

4. Photosphere: It is the region where sunspots are found. These are called by the magnetic field of sun.

5. Chromosphere: This region is red in color. It contains filaments of gas that rise up from the surface of the sun. This region is cooler than photosphere.

6. Corona: It is the outermost layer of sun and the temperature is much higher here. Many kinds of gaseous emissions takes place make the sun bright and hot.
