Answer:
An ion channel, more specifically a calcium channel.
Explanation:
The electrical activity of the cells is regulated by ion channels. Calcium channels, also referred as the voltage-gated calcium channels constitute one group of a superfamily of ion channels. A change in voltage across the membrane or small molecules triggers calcium channels to open, allowing calcium to flow into the cell. Inside the cell, calcium acts as a second messenger, it binds to calcium sensitive proteins to induce different responses and support several functions such as muscle contraction, hormone and neurotransmitter secretion, gene regulation, activation of other ion channels, control of action potentials, cell survival, etc.
Answer:
The fourth orbital containing 4 electrons.
Answer:
protons and electrons
Explanation:
The symbol for an atom can be written to show its mass number at the top, and its atomic number at the bottom. To calculate the numbers of subatomic particles in an atom, use its atomic number and mass number: number of protons = atomic number. number of electrons = atomic number.
Answer:
Atoms consist of a nucleus made of protons and neutrons orbited by electrons.
Isotopes are atoms that have same number of protons but they differ in the number of neutrons and in atomic mass.
