When a neuron is activated by a stimulus, its plasma membrane will change until it reaches a membrane potential of about 40 mV.

What is special about this value

Answer: It is approximately the membrane potential at which the electrochemical gradient for Na+ is zero.

Explanation:

The charge in plasma membrane occurs with diffusion and electric fields.

For example, if there are two solutions, let's assume solution X and Solution Y are separated by a porous barrier (to diffuse in equal proportions).

The fundamental principle of diffusion states that solution from a high concentration diffuses to a lower concentration.

For instance, if the X solution contains 40 sodium ions and 40 chloride ions, the Y solution only has 30 sodium and 30 chloride ions. Due to the diffusion, these two solutions will mix and reach a steady-state.

The like charges repel, and opposite charges attract.

jekas [21]

Answer:

the correct answers are as follows

12:

b. Testcross- an organism with dominant phenotype but unknown genotype is crossed with homozygous recessive organism for the same trait. Based on the results obtained, if all offsprings have the same phenotype, then the parent is homozygous, but when a 1:1 ratio is observed in the offsprings, then the parent is heterozygous.

e. Watson and Crick- they both used the crystallographic images from Franklin, analyzed them to first elucidate the 3D structure of the DNA and propose it to the world.

14.

c. Intracellular and commonly found in the cytoplasm- the receptors of steroid hormones are generally present within the target cell either in the cytoplasm or nucleus, since they alter gene expression.

e. Certain prokaryotes/bacteria- this is a process that will enable disease-causing pathogens to communicate and cooperate with their group, by the release of autoinducers that increase their cell density.

1.<br> Which of the following structures is not found in<br> bacteria?
Nady [450]

Answer:

Organelles

Explanation:

Bacteria are a type of biological cell that has an Intracellular or internal structure.

Structural components are located in bacteria, and we can find there DNA, ribosomes, cell wall and membrane, surface layer and cytoplasm.

In bacteria structural components aren't found '<u>The nucleus</u>' and that is a membrane-enclosed organelle.
