Distinguish between cholinergic and adrenergic chemical modifiers. include examples of each in your discussion.

Adrenergic modifiers bind to epinephrine receptors while cholinergic modifiers bind to ACh receptors. Either of these drugs will inhibit the natural ligand actions or mimic the natural ligand molecules when it binds to the receptor.

Epinepherine can be classified as adrenergic, even though it is a natural ligand (chemical). Pilocarpine is a good example of a cholinergic chemical.

sulfur dioxide

explanation: acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. these substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.
