Which neurotransmitter is a major regulator of mood and behavior and can be chemically altered using drugs like Prozac or Zoloft? a) nitric oxide
b) substance P
c) norepinephrine
d) serotonin
e) acetylcholine

Explanation:

Serotonin is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that  responsible for regulating the bodies mood and behavior in the central nervous system and affect the functions of the entire body. Prozac and Zoloft are antidepressants that help retain more serotonin neurotransmitters in neurons.

d) serotonin

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.

explanation:

the correct option is option d
