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.

- A solution of 14 g of a nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte compound in 0.10 kg of benzene boils at 81.7°C. If the BP of pure benzene is 80.2°C and the K, of benzene is 2.53°C/m, calculate the molar mass of the unknown compound. AT₁ = Km (14)arrow_forwardPlease help me answer the following questions. My answers weren't good enough. Need to know whyy the following chemicals were not used in this experiment related to the melting points and kf values. For lab notebook not a graded assignments.arrow_forwardDraw the arrow pushing reaction mechanism. DO NOT ANSWER IF YOU WONT DRAW IT. Do not use chat gpt.arrow_forward
- Complete the following esterification reaction by drawing the structural formula of the product formed. HOH HO i catalyst catalyst OH HO (product has rum flavor) (product has orange flavor)arrow_forwardThe statements in the tables below are about two different chemical equilibria. The symbols have their usual meaning, for example AG stands for the standard Gibbs free energy of reaction and K stands for the equilibrium constant. In each table, there may be one statement that is faise because it contradicts the other three statements. If you find a false statement, check the box next to t Otherwise, check the "no false statements" box under the table. statement false? AG"1 no false statements: statement false? AG-0 0 InK-0 0 K-1 0 AH-TAS no false statements 2arrow_forwardComplete the following esterification reactions by drawing the line formulas of the carboxylic acid and alcohol required to form the ester shown. catalyst catalyst catalyst apricot fragrancearrow_forward
- Show the saponification products of the following ester: You don't need to draw in the Na+ cation. catalyst, A catalyst, A catalyst, Aarrow_forwardWhat would happen if the carboxylic acid and alcohol groups were on the same molecule? In essence, the molecule reacts with itself. Draw the structure of the products formed in this manner using the reactants below. If two functional groups interact with one another on the same molecule, this is called an “intramolecular" (within one) rather than "intermolecular" (between two or more) attack. OH OH catalyst OH HO catalyst catalyst HO OHarrow_forwardQ3: Write in the starting alkyl bromide used to form the following products. Include any reactants, reagents, and solvents over the reaction arrow. If more than one step is required, denote separate steps by using 1), 2), 3), etc. H OH racemic OH OH 5 racemicarrow_forward
- Draw the Lewis structure of the SO3-O(CH3)2 complex shown in the bottom right of slide 2in lecture 3-3 (“Me” means a CH3 group) – include all valence electron pairs and formal charges.From this structure, should the complex be a stable molecule? Explain.arrow_forwardPredict all organic product(s), including stereoisomers when applicable.arrow_forwardQ5: Propose a reasonable synthesis for the following decalin derivative. using only decalin and alkanes of 3 or fewer carbons.
