Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

The five kingdom classification, that is proposed by RH Whittaker is based upon cell structure, body structure (unicellular, multicellular), nutrition (autotrophic, heterotrophic) reproduction and way of living either aquatic, terrestrial, or arial and phylogenetic relationship.
So, it is more useful as compared to two kingdom system of classification which does not distinguish between prokaryotes and eukaryotes and no other kingdom except plant and animal are identified.

Put the events occurring at the neuromuscular junction into the right order:
  1. A nerve action potential reaches the axon terminal of the motor neuron.
  2. Calcium ions enter the axon terminal of a motor neuron from the interstitial fluid.
  3. Voltage-gated calcium channels open in the plasma membrane of the motor neuron.
  4. Calcium ions induce fusion of synaptic vesicles containing acetylcholine with the plasma membrane of the axon terminal.
  5. Acetylcholine is released from the axon terminal and diffuses across the synaptic cleft towards the motor end plate of a muscle cell.
  6. Acetylcholine binds to acetylcholine receptors located on the motor end plate of the muscle cell.
