The generation of an action potential in a neuron requires the presence which type of membrane channels

Biology

4 0

The right answer is: voltage-gated channels

Ionic channels are membrane proteins that allow the selective passage of the cell membrane by ions (Na +, Ca2 +, K +, Cl-, ...) following the electrochemical gradients. They play a vital role in cellular excitability, triggering and propagation of action potential. They intervene in the coupling excitation-contraction and excitation-secretion. Ion channel selectivity is based on the adequacy of ion size and charges with the structure and amino acid sequence of the channels.

Among these channels, there are voltage-gated channels.

These are ion channels whose opening is activated by the membrane potential.

These dependent volumetric channels are characterized:

- by the selectivity of the ions (Ca2 +, Na +, K +, Cl-, ...)

- by their conductance

- by their activation domain (significant depolarization to low)

- by their kinetics of inactivation (slow, fast or transient)

Leaf epidermis and stem epidermis are both covered by a waxy cuticle, but root epidermis is not. How does the lack of a cuticle
Lera25 [3.4K]
Roots are built to absorb more and are placed right in their environment that they will be absorbing nutrients. Unlike leaves and stems, roots are not exposed to the daily elements in the outdoors and therefore don’t need the protection and filter that the waxy cuticle provides.

I believe this is the difference..
I hope this helps! :)

An alternative form or version of a gene is a(n):
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The answer is A.allele

Explanation:

An allele is a variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome. Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent.

NEED HELP HEREE :)
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
1.The correct answer is D
Since the time of Linnaeus, the classification of organisms into kingdom has significantly changed. Fungi have been classified as a separate kingdom (they have been classified under plants before) and the development of microscopy has enabled scientist to study microscopic organisms and classify them into the Protista and Monera kingdoms.
 
2.The correct answer is D
The phylum is one of the highest ranks of classification, right under the rank of kingdom, so it contains a great number of species. For example, the phylum of Arthropoda contains all the insect, spider, crustacean and millipede species.

3.The correct answer is B
Before the methods of genetics and molecular biology research were developed, species were classified only based on their physical appearance. But now, we can determine how closely related species are by their genes as well. This solves the problem of species that have developed convergent traits as a response to similar environments, but that, in fact, are not genetically similar.

4.The correct answer is C
The classification of viruses has always been a difficult question for scientists. Viruses have their own genetic material enclosed in a protein coat, but they can not reproduce on their own since they need the metabolism and the genetic machinery of other cells to survive.

5.The correct answer is D
The two species are definitely members of the Eukarya domain because they have nuclei. All of the other domains, Bacteria, and Archaea lack all organelles including the nuclei. If both of the species produce eggs, they may be members of the animal kingdom.
6. The correct answer is A
Even though both bacteria and archaea are single-celled prokaryotes the differences between them are great. Their cell walls and cell membranes are built from different lipids and the enzymes that have a role in the central dogma differ significantly.


7.the correct answer is B
Sexual reproduction in eukaryotes has a purpose of exchanging the genetic material between two individuals. The process of conjugation in bacteria is very similar to sexual reproduction, but there are no specialized sex cells and the cells do not form haploid cells through meiosis.

8. The correct answer is D
Natural selection has filtered the population of bacteria. Only the individuals resistant to the antibiotic have managed to survive and leave offspring, producing a population of bacteria that is solely consisted of antibiotic-resistant individuals.

9. The correct answer is D
Red algae are autotrophic organisms. This means that they are producers of food, in this case, they can produce sugars trough conversion of sunlight in the chloroplasts. The amoeba must consume other organisms or organic particles to survive, and the only way for it to do it is through the process of endocytosis since they lack mouths.

10. The correct answer is B
Molds are fungi that are dependant on moisture. They are not photosynthetic and they lack flagella, so the most efficient way to eradicate molds would be to dry out the area and the lack of moisture will cause the disappearance of the mold.
