When a neuron is at rest, there is a charge separation (voltage) across the plasma membrane called ________?

Biology

Gnom [1K]3 years ago

The answer for the above question is the resting membrane potential. The resting membrane potential is the voltage across a cell plasma membrane in the resting or quiescent state. It is controlled by the amount of certain potassium channels and other factors that contribute to resting membrane potential are the concentration of ions on the inside and outside of the cell, the permeability of the cell membrane to the ions through specific ion channels and also the activity of electrogenic pumps such as Na+/K+ -ATPase.

Explain the production of monoclonal antibodies and give an example of how they are used.
taurus [48]

Answer:

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are produced by introducing an antigen to a mouse and then fusing polyclonal B cells from the mouse's spleen to myeloma cells. The resulting hybridoma cells are cultured and continue to produce antibodies to the antigen.

Explanation:

An example of a monoclonal antibody is blinatumomab (Blincyto, Amgen), used to treat certain cancer, types of acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Naya [18.7K]
The answer to this is C. The ancient fossils are a record of when shallow seas covered much of the united states. While the fossils are of organisms that are the precursors of many modern day organisms, changes in ocean geography and other factors eventually caused those older species to become extinct.

Which molecule in animal plasma membranes reduces the permeability of the membrane to most biological molecules?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'e' : Cholesterol

Explanation:

The ease at which materials can be transported across a membrane depends on the membrane permeability. Membrane permeability is basically the ease at which materials are transported across membrane . As we know that upon increasing the viscosity of any fluid it's resistance to deformation increases or it applies a greater resisting force if we try to change the shape of the membrane thus reducing the permeability of the membrane. the increase in cholesterol increases the viscosity of the membrane thus reducing it's permeability.
