DerKrebs [107]3 years ago

Answer:

they are Na+, K+ and Ca2+ ion channels.

Explanation:

Ionotropic acetylcholine receptors are also called nicotinic acetylcholine receptors because beside acetylcholine (Ch) they respond to nicotine. These receptors are  primary receptors in muscle for motor nerve-muscle communication that controls muscle contraction.

Two molecules of ACh are required for receptor to open. Since the receptors are  linked to ion channels, the channels open. Opening of the channel allows positively charged ions to move across it: sodium enters the cell and potassium exits.

Babies born with tetralogy of fallot are called Blue babies.
Blue babies syndrome is a condition some babies are born with or develop early in life. It is characterized by an overall skin color with a blue or purple tinge, called cyanosis. The bluish appearance is most noticeable where the skin is thin, such as the lips, earlobes, and nail beds. The infant is born with a congenital heart defect that causes a bluish coloration of the skin as a result of deoxygenated blood (Cyanosis).<span />

STEP 1 Review the imaginary strand of DNA below. Note the complementary base pairs. A G C A A T C C G T C T T G G T C G T T A G
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The complementary strand is given below (in italics):

A G C A A T C C G T C T T G G T C G T T A G G C A G A A C C

<em>T C G T T A G G C A G A A C C A G C A A T C C G T C T T G G </em>

Explanation:

As per the rules of complementary base pairing, Adenine will bond with Thymine (and vice versa) and Guanine will bond with Cytosine (and vice versa). Three hydrogen bonds will form between G and C, whereas two hydrogen bonds will be formed when A and T bind to each other.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Any crops planted there will not grow because it had release chemical and act as covering which cannot support plant growth. When it is washed into the ocean or water bodies, it can lead to death if aquatic live because it will affect the amount of oxygen that will available to them.

Two potential functions that eukaryotic cells perform to regulate transcription are
tester [92]
Two potential functions that eukaryotic cells perform to regulate transcription are DNA methylation: a process of epigenetics that participates in the regulation of the gene expression in two ways, directly impeding the union of the transcription factors, and indirectly propitiating the closed structure of the chromatin, and Histone acetylation, enzymes that acetylate conserved lysine residues in histones by transferring an acetyl group from an acetyl-CoA molecule, to form ε-N-acetyl lysine, is extensively associated with an open chromatin structure and therefore accessible to transcription factors, which increases gene expression.
