HOXC8 gene encodes a protein that has a role in the development of the cartilage. This gene is a member of the HOX group gene that enables the differentiation of the body segments. These genes encode for transcription factors that activate the expression of other specific genes guiding the differentiation of body segments into specific structures.
The type of glial cells are particularly at risk from the disease are the Schwann cells. This disease is caused by a bacterium, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and is caused when the bacteria releases a toxin, or poison, into a person's body. The Schwann cells produces insulating myelin sheath that covers the axons of many neurons. These cells may suffers immune or toxic attacks with diphtheria infection.
Answer:
Due evolution, discoveries and having both characteristics.
Explanation:
The Kingdom of Life change due to evolution in the body of organisms, discoveries of new organisms that are different from plants and animals. There are some organisms that have both plant and animal characteristics so it can't be placed in plant or animal kingdom so that's why the kingdom of life changes from two kingdom system to 5 kingdom system.
The lining attached to the lungs is called the visceral pleurae.
Answer:
The voltage-gated potassium channels associated with an action potential provide an example of what type of membrane transport?
A. Simple diffusion.
B.<u> Facilitated diffusion.
</u>
C. Coupled transport.
D. Active transport.
You are studying the entry of a small molecule into red blood cells. You determine the rate of movement across the membrane under a variety of conditions and make the following observations:
i. The molecules can move across the membrane in either direction.
ii. The molecules always move down their concentration gradient.
iii. No energy source is required for the molecules to move across the membrane.
iv. As the difference in concentration across the membrane increases, the rate of transport reaches a maximum.
The mechanism used to get this molecule across the membrane is most likely:
A. simple diffusion.
<u>B. facilitated diffusion.
</u>
C. active transport.
D. There is not enough information to determine a mechanism.
Carrier proteins - exist in two conformations, altered by high affinity binding of the transported molecule. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLE: GluT1 erythrocyte glucose transporter.
Channel proteins - primarily for ion transport. Form an aqueous pore through the lipid bilayer. May be gated. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLES: Voltage-gated sodium channel, erytrhocyte bicarbonate exchange protein.
This might be helpful... because I don't know anything about facilitated diffusion.
