Answer:
Sodium-Potassium pumps (proteins that help neurons generate electricity) are produced by ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Explanation:
Sodium-Potassium Pump (NA+/K+):
The Na+/K+ Pump is a transmembrane channel protein, responsible for maintaining the concentration gradient of sodium and potassium ions in the intra and extracellular environment. This is achieve by pumping 3 Na+ outside and 2 K+ inside the cell at the cost of one ATP. In neurons, these channels help in generating an action potential across the cell membrane that gives rise to a nerve impulse.
Production of Transmembrane proteins:
All membranes and their proteins are produced by the ribosomes on the rough ER. The rough endoplasmic reticulum contains the enzymes required for lipid synthesis; and as cell membranes are made of lipids, the ER is the most suitable location for synthesis. Membrane proteins, particularly, transmembrane proteins like the Na+/K+ pump possess hydrophobic surfaces that don't dissolve in the cytoplasm but readily attach to the ER surface from where they can be transported wherever required.
Answer:
850 meters
Explanation:
From the base of the epipelagic zone to a depth of about 850 meters, there is still enough light for a human to see. The second zone between 200 meters and 1,000 meters is known as the "twilight zone". Some light penetrates as far as 1000 meters down into the ocean.
ATP fuels the primary active transport pump for Sodium and Potassium. The pump maintains a positive voltage on the exterior of the cell and negative on the interior.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
b). Activation of an upstream guanine nucleotide exchange factor
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>When a ligand activates the G protein-coupled receptor, it induces a conformational change in the receptor that allows the receptor to function as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that exchanges GDP for GTPthus turning the G protein-coupled receptor on.</u></em>
- The activated G-protein then dissociates into an alpha (G-alpha) and a beta-gamma complex.
Answer:
B. Octopus
Explanation:
Because octopus lack bone structure allowing it to maneuver easier and fit in tight spaces
