A neuron has been hyperpolarized. how will this affect the excitability of the neuron? patho flash cards

Alik [6]4 years ago

A neuron enters hyperpolarization when there's an efflux of the potassium ions and the influx of chlorine ions. This moving out of positively charged cations and moving in of negatively charged anions makes the neuron enter a state of negative membrane potential. If a hyperpolarized neuron is stimulated by an oncomming action potential, it fails to get excited. This is because the neuron has its potassium ion channel inactivated by the negative potential. The potassium ion channel can only be activated when the potassium ions slowly leak inside to neuron to make it enter the state of resting membrane potential.

A Mercator projection map shows?
cricket20 [7]

Mercator projection, type of map projection introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator. It is often described as a cylindrical projection, but it must be derived mathematically. The meridians are equally spaced parallel vertical lines, and the parallels of latitude are parallel horizontal straight lines that are spaced farther and farther apart as their distance from the Equator increases. This projection is widely used for navigation charts, because any straight line on a Mercator projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course. It is less practical for world maps, however, because the scale is distorted; areas farther away from the Equator appear disproportionately large. On a Mercator projection, for example, the landmass of Greenland appears to be greater than that of the continent of South America; in actual area, Greenland is smaller than the Arabian Peninsula.

Answer:

D. Allosteric activator

Explanation:

In an enzyme, the allosteric site is a site/motif different from the active site, (i.e., the site with catalytic activity) which is able to interact with regulatory effector molecules in order to activate or inhibit enzymatic activity by influencing the tridimensional (3D) structure of the enzyme. An allosteric activator is an effector molecule with the ability to bind to a specific enzyme at a different site than the active site, thereby modifying the shape of the enzyme and increasing the affinity of this enzyme for its substrate. Moreover, Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is a nucleotide composed of a phosphate group, a sugar ribose, and an Adenine (A) base. This effector molecule (AMP) has shown to allosterically stimulate diverse enzymes in physiological conditions (e.g., AMP-activated protein kinase).

Tema [17]

Answer:

O and Q

Explanation:

Why O: Because gas has a lot of energy and movement and doesn't have a definite shape or volume, it can move as much as it likes, but when it condenses, it becomes a liquid, and a liquid has a definite volume, but no definite shape, and has less energy and movement.

Why Q:  Because liquid has a definite volume, but no definite shape, and a good amount of energy and movement, but when it freezes it loses its energy and movement, and becomes a solid, and a solid has a definite volume and shape and the particles can barely move enough to vibrate

I hope you at least understand my concept. :)
