What happens when a ligand binds to a ligand-gated Na+ channel? There is no net flow of sodium ions. Sodium ions are pumped from

low concentration to high concentration. Sodium ions flow passively from low concentration to high concentration. Sodium ions flow passively from high concentration to low concentration.

Answer:

Sodium ions flow passively from high concentration to low concentration.

Explanation:

When a ligand binds to a ligand gated, there's always a flow of ions, in this case we talk about sodium. When the bind is produced, the channel undergoes a conformational change that determines its opening. Remember that the channel, is a protein. In this example we don't talk about a bomb, that's why we suppose that sodium ions are not pumped. As the flow is in favor of gradient, ions always go from high concentration to low.

We say that ions flow PASSIVELY because Ionic channels are sort of passive transport, we don't need ATP.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is- make a prediction

Explanation:

A hypothesis can be defined as an explanation of any observation which can be confirmed by experiments and prediction is the guess about the future result of any observation.  

As here a biologist hypothesized that the sound produced by frog is mating calls than the next step of the biologist would be to make a prediction about response of that mating call by female frogs. This is called hypothesis prediction method.

Therefore the right answer is- biologist will make a prediction.

Alleles that are neutral with respect to fitness
postnew [5]

Alleles that are neutral with respect to fitness may fluctuate in frequency

due to chance events.

<h3>What are Neutral alleles?</h3>

These are the gene variant in which natural selection doesn't affect the

spread and mostly aren't inherited.

In cases where they are inherited, they will either be lost or will replace all

other alleles of the gene as a result of chance events and not because of

natural selection.

When a slice of fresh apple turns a brown color, this is most likely the result of ________?
sukhopar [10]
This is most likely the result of OXIDATION. When an apple is cut open, the cells of the apple are exposed to the atmosphere, the in built defense mechanism inside the apple that is supervised by certain enzymes react to this situation by reacting with oxygen and creating an oxidized brown layer which protects the apple from foreign bodies.
