How Neurons Work (1 of 3): Neuron Structure and Resting Potential (BioFlix tutorial)?

Biology
1 answer:
fiasKO [112]2 years ago
6 0

 A neuron is nerve cells that transfer information within the body, chemically over short distances, using electrical signals over long ones.

   As it turns out, most resting neurons are permeable to Na+ and CL- as well as K+. K+ will try to drag the membrane potential toward its (positive) equilibrium potential, while NA+ try to drag the membrane potential to its negative equilibrium potential.

The real membrane potential will be between NA+ and K+ of equilibrium potential<span>. However, it will be closer to the equilibrium potential of the ion type with higher permeability.</span>

A student is studying the amino acid sequence of a protein shared by four organisms. The student wants to know which organism is
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Organism D.

Explanation:

Amino acids are the monomers of proteins and are linked together by the peptide bond. The protein is obtained from the RNA molecules by the process known as translation.

The amino acid sequence of the proteins can also be used to study the evolutionary relationship between the organisms and the closeness of teh organisms with each other. In the question it is give that organisms A and D has least difference ( 1 amino acid sequence difference) and more related with each other.

Thus, the answer is organism D.

What is the amino acid sequence for the mRNA strand CACCCAUGGUGA?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Histidine- Proline- Tryptophan- Stop codon

Explanation:

The mRNA strand in the question is produced as a result of a process called TRANSCRIPTION. However, the mRNA transcript is further used to synthesize an amino acid sequence in a process called TRANSLATION. The mRNA sequence is read in a group of three nucleotide bases called CODON.

Each codon specifies an amino acid which is represented in the GENETIC CODE. In this case, a sequence of mRNA strand is given as: CACCCAUGGUGA

The following codons in the sequence specify the following amino acid:

CAC - Histidine

CCA - Proline

UGG - Tryptophan

UGA - Stop codon

Hence, the amino acid sequence encoded by the given mRNA strand is Histidine- Proline- Tryptophan- Stop codon.

N.B: After a stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) is encountered, the translation process stops.

Would the surface temperature of white dwarf stars be higher or lower than red supergiants?
Liula [17]
The surface temperature of white dwarf stars is higher than that of red super giants. White dwarf stars are extremely hot when they form, and they start cooling off as time goes by. Red supergiants, on the other hand, are enormous dying stars, and they are quite cool. So, having this in mind, white dwarves are hotter than red supergiants. Hope I helped! :) If it’s wrong then I’m sorry!
