Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure 12.27 The Synapse The synapse is a connection between a neuron and its target cell (which is not necessarily a neuron). The presynaptic element is the synaptic end bulb of the axon where Ca2+ enters the bulb to cause vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release. The neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft to bind to its receptor. The neurotransmitter is cleared from the synapse either by enzymatic degradation, neuronal reuptake, or glial reuptake. Q: What is the term for a connection between a neuron and its target cell? Choices: - dendrite - axon - impulse - synapse A:
(Answer)
synapse

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Many species use their body shape and coloration to avoid being detected by predators. The tropical walking stick is an insect with the coloration and body shape of a twig, which makes it very hard to see when it is stationary against a background of real twigs (Figure 19.15a). In another example, the chameleon can change its color to match its surroundings (Figure 19.15b). Q: Many species use their body shape and coloration to avoid being detected by what? Choices: - biology - viruses - males - predators A:
(Answer)
predators
