Lon channels are not continuously open and are highly selective. (a) True (b) False

Biology
1 answer:
Svetach [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: True

Explanation: Ion channels are very specific and are voltage gated channels. They are highly specific and selective for particular ions only.

Example: Some of the channels allow the flow of potassium ions but do not allow sodium ions to cross the membrane to maintain the concentration.

Some of the positive ion channels allow only the movement of positive ions and no negative ions. These channels are not always open and opens only when there is a concentration gradient.

Total nucleic acids are extracted from a culture of yeast cells and are then mixed with resin beads to which the polynucleotide
mr Goodwill [35]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

(a)DNA (b)tRNA (c)rRNA (d)mRNA

Answer:

Option-mRNA

Explanation:

The mRNA is synthesized from the DNA and which is also a type of nucleic acid. When the nucleic acid is extracted from the yeasts and then mixed with the resin beads to which the polynucleotide with thymine base oar is attached.

The mRNA will bind to the resin bead as the mRNA after synthesis undergoes modification and attaches poly A tail to the end of the mRNA at 3' end.

This poly-A tail has adenine which easily binds to the thymine and thus mRNA easily attaches to the resin bead.

Thus, mRNA is correct.
