<span>Ian Waterman was able to sense pain and temperature because his
spinothalamic pathway was intact, but could not feel touch and limb position because of damage to his
lemniscus pathway. </span>
The lateral spinothalamic tract is a sensory pathway which carries sensory information like pain and temperature to the brain, across the thalamus. Free nerve endings which are located in the peripheral tissues are sensitive to cell damage. Those are primary neurons and they pass the sensory signal. Primary neurons synapse with secondary which are located in the spinal cord (white matter). These secondary neurons will ascend through the brainstem, medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain, until synapsing in the ventroposteriorlateral (VPL) nucleus of the thalamus. From the thalamus, the information is sent to cortex (somatosensory cortex).
Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway is ascending spinal tract, carrying sensory information to the brain (sensory pathway). It conducts localized sensations of fine touch, vibration and proprioception (position sense) from the skin and extremities (muscles) to the central nervous system (cerebral cortex).
Answer:
Why are molecules such as valinomycin effective at transporting ions across the membrane?
Valinomycin is effective as transporting ions across the membrane because it is no charged, so it can carry ions.
Why would a drop in temperature to or below the transition temperature limit valinomycin mediated K+ transport across the plasma membrane?
Valinomycin is limited by temperature because its activity is highly sensitive and it depends on a stable and an average temperature.
Explanation:
Valinomycin is effective at transporting ion across the membrane because is an antibiotic that alternates hydroxy and amino acid, ans it helps membranes to be permeable. Valinomycin is a cyclic molecule that helps in ions transportation through membranes. Also, antibiotics have a temperature range of activity, that's why it is sensitive to changes.
I think it is C
but if im wrong im sorry
I hope this helps :3
The correct answer is:
fixation
Explanation:
Nitrogen fixation is a method by which nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere is converted into ammonia or other molecules prepared to living organisms. Nitrogen fixation is carried by a diversity of bacteria, both as free-living organisms and in symbiotic association with plants. Because it is the primary source of the nitrogen in the soil, nitrogen that plants need to grow, nitrogen fixation is one of the most critical biochemical processes on Earth
