Agonist - Competitive inhibition, binds to active site and causes a signal response in receptive tissue. Antagonist (blocker) - Competitive inhibitor, binds to active site so signal molecules cannot bind but causes no response in receptive tissue, can bind and release eventually. Apply your understanding of channels and synapses to predict how various neurotoxins affect nervous function. - Neurotoxins block receptor proteins on the post-synaptic neuron. Example: tetrodotoxin form Fugu fish...

Review the structure of the chloroplast and know where the light reaction and the Calvin cycle take place. Ans:Light reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane of the granum. The Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma (cytoplasm of the chloroplast). The light reaction of photosynthesis begins when pigments in the chloroplast absorb light energy (photons). At the end of the light reaction, where is the energy derived from the photons stored? Ans:In NADPH and ATP which are then used...
