Uncle Mel mentioned having difficulty sleeping. If he was prescribed a medication that targeted serotonin, such as a SSRI (selec

tive serotonin reuptake inhibitor), it would also help with sleep. There is another chemical secreted in the brain that causes sleepiness. It is characterized as a hormone rather than a neurotransmitter. Name this hormone.

Answer:

Melatonin

Explanation:

     Melatonin is a hormone linked to the circadian cycle, ie, the way the body organizes its functions when we are awake and during sleep. The substance begins to be produced in the pineal gland as day goes on to help the body prepare for sleep. It reaches its maximum level when we are sleeping. As the sun rises and the light returns, the gland reduces the production of melatonin, which signals that it is time to wake up.

Answer:

The hormone is seretonin.

Explanation:

Seretonin is a hormone that is synthesized from the hydroxylation of amino acid tryptophan resulting in the formation of 5-hydroxytryptophan which further undergo de carboxylation to form seretonin.

 Seretonin is found in both myentric neuron and seretogenic neuron.Seretonin helps to control mood,desire for food and sleep.

  Selective seretonin reuptake inhibitors are used as antidepressent that interfere with the re absorption of seretonin thereby maintaining high level of seretonin in the synapse.

2.The new codon that you answered for #1 codes for which amino acid? Only give the three letter prefix for your answer.
Rudik [331]
<h2>A change in one base of the gene sequence is known as point mutation.</h2>

Explanation:

Question 2 is incomplete.

3. A mutation that only affects a single nucleotide of nucleic acid is known as Point Mutation.

In Point mutations there is substitution of one base for another.

Example:                TAT TGG CTA            

                               TAC TGG CTA

The  TAT changes to TAC which shows point mutation.

4. Yes. The point mutation have an effect on the outcome compared to the normal sequence.

When there is a change in one base of the gene it results into causing disease such as cancer, sickle cell anemia.

malfutka [58]

Living organisms display the property of metabolism, which is a general term to describe the processes carried out to acquire and use energy. We know that people need to eat, and in our foods are various kinds of nutrients that our cells use. One large group of nutrients in our foods is carbohydrates, which supply our cells with glucose.

bicarbonate ions in blood can absorb hydrogen ions, keeping pH balanced. bicarbonate is acting as a ________  in blood?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Buffer is an aqueous solution that resists changes in pH when acids or bases are added to it. A buffer solution is typically composed of a weak acid and its conjugate base. There are three major buffer systems that are responsible for regulating blood pH: the bicarbonate buffer system, the phosphate buffer system, and the plasma protein buffer system. Of the three buffer systems, the bicarbonate buffer system is arguably the most important as it is the only one that is coupled to the respiratory system
