No, a reflex arc begins with a receptor that detects a stimulus and sends a signal through a sensory nerve to the central nervous system.
Caffeine binding to an adenosine receptor would block adenosine from binding to the receptor, preventing the normal inhibitory effect of adenosine on neuronal activity. This results in increased neural firing and the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and glutamate, leading to increased alertness and arousal.
Acetylcholine (ACh) binding to an acetylcholine receptor triggers a conformational change in the receptor protein, leading to the opening of an ion channel within the receptor. This allows specific ions, such as sodium or potassium, to flow across the cell membrane, resulting in changes in membrane potential and ultimately leading to cellular responses.
Two molecules of pyruvate are the end product of glycolysis.
When an action potential reaches the knoblike terminals at an axon's end, it triggers the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Within 1/10,000th of a second, the neurotransmitter molecules cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron-as precisely as a key fits a lock.
receptor
Acetylcholine receptor is present on the sarcolemma of the muscle cells. This receptor is responsible for transmitting the signal to initiate muscle contraction when acetylcholine binds to it at the neuromuscular junction.

6 carbon dioxide molecules and 36 ATP molecules
The end products of glycolysis are two molecules of pyruvate, two molecules of ATP (net gain), and two molecules of NADH.
When an action potential reaches the knoblike terminals at an axon's end, it triggers the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Within 1/10,000th of a second, the neurotransmitter molecules cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron-as precisely as a key fits a lock.
The net gain of ATP molecules at the end of glycolysis is 2 ATP molecules. While 2 ATP molecules are consumed in the initial steps, a total of 4 ATP molecules are produced, resulting in a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.
The receptor of a reflex arc is typically a sensory neuron that detects a stimulus such as pain, pressure, or temperature changes. These sensory neurons send signals to the central nervous system to initiate a reflex action without conscious thought.
No, polypeptides are not lipids. Polypeptides are large molecules also called proteins; lipids tend to be relatively small molecules with an "ionic" end and a "greasy" end.
