  1. Just because some cells can produce more than one neurotransmitter doesn't mean most of them do... and a neuropeptide isn't the same thing as a neurotransmitter.
  2. This universe is relatively flat. Key word there is relatively. Compared to its 13+ billion light year width, the height could be only a couple billion light years; and we'd never know without some fancy equipment.
  3. Cardiac cells beat to their own signal. If you cut some cells out of a heart, they still beat for a while.
  4. Gas molecules are moving extremely fast, so the 2nd law of thermodynamics acts more quickly. Entropy must increase, and if all of the mocules are homogenous, the entropy is higher than if they were heterogenous.
  5. Please provide research indicating this is wrong. You can't just claim you contacted someone and provide no reference. And what was the exact message, because there's bound to be some exceptions and colocalization isn't present in all cells. So either the professor you contacted was wrong, or you just misinterpreted what he said. Either way, you're wrong.

    Time.

    Time is the direction in which entropy increases. Cyclic events occur, therefore time exists, or there would be no cycles.
  7. Which is perfectly acceptable if you're France or Germany!
  8. Saddam Sodom Sound the same Coincidence? I think not.
  9. There is no chaos. Everything in classical mechanics is predictable. Any error arises from quantum effects.
  10. In some models, when two events have an equal probability of happening, they both do. This applies at the quantum level of course, and results in an infinite number of parallel realities, therefore everything thats happening in your reality is only one of the ways it could have happened.
  11. What's the mechanism that makes it a nerve cell? That's just how it specializes.
  12. Published in 2002. Furthermore, I just took a class on it last semester. You are mistaken. Nerve cells specialize to one neurotransmitter.
  13. Furthermore, GABA can have both effects because of how the nerve cell responds to it, not by having different receptors.
  14. My cell molec bio book says any particular nerve cell releases only one type of neurotransmitter; so why would it have receptors for more?
  15. Um, do you know the difference between an axon and a synapse? Doesn't seem like it.
  16. But are the courses actually challenging? Who cares about the arts and creativity, education is not neccessary to be a great artist.
  17. "Specialization" Furthermore, transduction of the action potential down the axon is not related to the type of neurotransmitter used. It's not the neurotransmitters thats moving down it, its just the signal.
  18. Like a guidance system would reduce the range. It would probably extend it. They are forbidden from having missiles capable of flying beyond 140 miles; not forbidden from having any missile they want as long as they don't launch it farther.
  19. You are correct, the purine group, 10 hydrogens, and 2 oxygens are a dead giveaway. In Chime (and most other programs), oxygen molecules are red, hydrogen is white, carbon is gray, and nitrogen is blue. From this you can count all of them and get the chemical formula C8H10N4O2, which is easy to look up.
  20. mais j'ai vu que la plupart des profs de francais sont bete et gros, et pas tres haut.
  21. There has been a breach for months. They're not handling it, they're just continually giving iraq more time.
  22. Yeah because Iraq refusing to allow private interviews, and flagrantly not actively cooperating for the entire time isn't a breach.
  23. Yeah right. He'll just say more time is needed.
  24. They were given until March 1st to *start* destroying them.
  25. The Big Bang did dissipate into a homogenous cloud of plasma, then after about 300,000,000 years, matter started condensing.
