Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- d. inhibitory neurotransmitter.

Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers in the body, which are released by the axon terminal of neuron ( also called nerve cell) and transmit nerve impulse to the neighboring cell ( which could be a muscle cell or a nerve cell) .

There are primarily two types of neurotransmitters that are-

1) Excitatory neurotransmitter and 2) Inhibitory neurotransmitter.

Inhibitory neurotransmitter have inhibitory effects on the neuron that is they reduce the chances that a neuron will fire an action potential. In other words, they are responsible for slowing signals between neurons.

Example- The most common inhibitory neurotransmitter is GABA ( gamma amino butyric acid)

Competition for food between animals of different species is called interspecific competition while that between the same animal species is called intraspecific competition. 
2. The energy received at the tropic level of carnivores will be less than the usual amount.
The energy received at the trophic level become reduced because the amount of food available for the carnivores has been reduced.
3. There will be decreased biomass at the trophic level of carnivores.
Decrease biomass will occur at the trophic level of carnivores because, those carnivores that can not survive the food reduction problem will die off.

WITCHER [35]
<span>Red blood cells normally have a biconcave shape (picture a donut, but instead of a hole through the centre there's just a downward slope to the centre of the cell). If the cell takes on water, it will increase in size and the sloped areas will start to flatten out. If the cell loses water, it will begin to shrivel. Use these observations and your understanding of osmosis to answer the question!</span>

Iteru [2.4K]

Ingestion of foreign substances by macrophages and yeast cells by an amoeba is known as <u>Phagocytosis</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Phagocytosis that is the name given to the process of ingestion of foreign particles by macrophages. In human body the white blood cells does this function. Macrophages is found in all the tissues. Any foreign particle entering the body is engulfed by this process hence protecting the organisms.

Once a bacteria enters the body it is at once detected and recognised as the foreign particle. Then it is attached to the phagocyte. Then it is engulfed into a vesicle called phagosome. Then this is killed by the process of phagocytosis.
