Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Define term synapse.
Concept Introduction:
The neurons are the cells, which are responsible for the transfer of the signals from the body to.
brain and vice-versa. These nerves are arranged in different pathways, which carry a message from.
different regions of the body. The gap between two neuron at its junction is synapse.
(b)
Interpretation:
Define term receptor.
Concept Introduction:
The cells are enclosed in a semipermeable cell membrane. This membrane does not allow the entry of the molecules inside it. Hence, the cell membrane posses many receptors, where the ligands can bind to generate a cellular response.
(c)
Interpretation:
Define the term presynaptic.
Concept Introduction:
The neurons are the cells, which are responsible for the transfer of the signals from the body to.
brain and vice-versa. These nerves are arranged in different pathways, which carry a message from.
different regions of the body. The gap between two neuron at its junction is synapse.
(d)
Interpretation:
Define term postsynaptic.
Concept Introduction:
The neurons are the cells, which are responsible for the transfer of the signals from the body to.
brain and vice-versa. These nerves are arranged in different pathways, which carry a message from.
different regions of the body. The gap between two neuron at its junction is synapse.
(e)
Interpretation:
Define term vesicles.
Concept Introduction:
The exocytosis is a process, by which a cell sends a chemical capable of eliciting a response in a membrane-bound vesicle. The endocytosis is a process, by which a cell uptake a membrane-bound vesicle.

- Blocking Group are use to put 2 large sterically repulsive group ortho. Show the correct sequence toconnect the reagent to product with the highest yield possible. * see image **NOTE: The compound on the left is the starting point, and the compound on the right is the final product. Please show the steps in between to get from start to final, please. These are not two different compounds that need to be worked.arrow_forwardI dont understand this.arrow_forwardCan you please explain this prooblem to me, show me how the conjugation is added, did I add them in the correct places and if so please show me. Thanks!arrow_forward
- Basic strength of organic bases.arrow_forwardNucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: What is the product of the reaction? What is the name of the intermediate complex? *See imagearrow_forwardPredict the final product. If 2 products are made, list which should be “major” and “minor” *see attachedarrow_forward
- Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: What is the product of the reaction? *see imagearrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardThe answer here says that F and K have a singlet and a doublet. The singlet and doublet are referring to the H's 1 carbon away from the carbon attached to the OH. Why don't the H's two carbons away, the ones on the cyclohexane ring, cause more peaks on the signal?arrow_forward
- Draw the Birch Reduction for this aromatic compound and include electron withdrawing groups and electron donating groups. *See attachedarrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardBlocking Group are use to put 2 large sterically repulsive group ortho.
