What is the substance produced when the body breaks down fat for energy?
Glucose when it breaks down protein, it makes Creatine Monohydrate.
What is the difference between amalyase and lipase?
They are enzymes in the body, amylase breaks down sugars and lipase breaks down fats.
What kind of lipid breaks down into glycerol and phosphate?
Phospholipid breaks down into Glycerol, phosphate group and 2 fatty acids
The difference between cellular respiration and fermintation?
callular respiration breaks down food with oxygen and fermentation breaks down food with out using oxygen
What type of processes breaks down elements?
Nuclear fission breaks down elements.
What kind of enzyme breaks down acetylcholine?
Acetylcholinesterase
What does acetylcholinerase do?
Also known as AChE, Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, resulting in choline and an acetate group. This occurs at the synaptic cleft. Too much acetylcholine can lead to paralysis
What enzyme has to be present for acetylcholine to be broken down so that the muscle fiber can relax?
Acetycholine esterase. It breaks down Ach in the skeletal muscle endplate.
What is cholinesterase?
It's an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Basically, neurotransmitters are necessary for nerves to transmit impulses and messages throughout the body. Acetylcholine is used specifically to transmit sensory messages. Sometimes, the body produces so much acetylcholine that it becomes an annoyance. In these cases, cholinesterase is responsible for balancing out the production of acetylcholine by destroying it.
When acetylcholine diffuses across syaptic cleft?
Like any other neurotransmitter, acetylcholine will attach itself to active sites on the dendrite, thus triggering the opening of sodium gates of the next neuron. Once that's done, the acetylcholine either breaks down or is absorbed back into the cell it originated from.
Can you identify of what kind of drug is physostigmine?
Physostigmine is an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase which breaks down acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft of the neuromuscular junction. It is used in the treatment of Alzheimer's and memory loss.
How is the neurotransmitter acetylcholine inactivated at the parasympathetic terminal receptor site?
Acetylcholine is primarily inactivated at the parasympathetic terminal receptor site by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase breaks down acetylcholine into choline and acetate, which are then taken back up by the presynaptic terminal for further use in neurotransmitter synthesis. This inactivation process allows for the rapid termination of acetylcholine signaling and helps maintain proper neurotransmitter balance in the synapse.
Help to counteract nerve agent poisoning?
Nerve agents are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine at nerve synapses. The antidote to counteract the nerve agent is an anticholinergic drug, such as atropine.
How is acetylcholine (ACh) removed from the synaptic cleft?
Acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase
Does aricept work?
One of the main problems in Alzheimers disease is a decrease in acetylcholine, a neurotransmittor. Aricept blocks an enzyme called acetylcholine esterase from breaking down acetylcholine so that the available neurotransmittor can work for a longer period of time.
What is an example of acetylcholine?
acetylcholine
What chemical breaks down wax?
What breaks down wax
