Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Benzodiazepines bind to the GABAA receptor, which includes a site that binds GABA as well as sites that modify the sensitivity of the GABA site. When a benzodiazepine molecule attaches, it neither opens nor closes the chloride channel but twists the receptor so that the GABA binds more easily. Benzodiazepines thus facilitate the effects of GABA. Benzodiazepines exert their anti-anxiety effects in the amygdala, hypothalamus, midbrain, and several other areas
