In this early work, however, the activating effects of the natural ligand, acetylcholine, were not measured and, also, atropine apparently only partially inhibited the receptor. In the current paper, therefore, we recloned this receptor (named A-type mAChR) and found that the cDNA sequence published in Shapiro et al.
At an early age we learn that the color of the water in our lakes, rivers and ponds is blue, but we expect the water in our drinking glass to be clear. When homeowners discover their home drinking water has a slight blue tint, itâs cause for concern. Blue or blue-green water likely means it contains copper.
A: The sea is blue because water, in large quantities, is blue. Also, when the light from the sun hits the water, it gets filtered so that redness is absorbed, allowing more of the blue color to be reflected. Another reason why the sea appears blue is because it reflects the blue color of the sky. Little ocean particles serve as reflective devices, and because the sky surrounds the ocean, the water appears blue. The presence of plant life and algae can cause the sea to appear green, and it may even appear gray when the sky is cloudy.
