Why are channels through membranes so important for nerve and muscle function? both nerves and muscles rely on the rapid transmi

ssion of information and of signals for movement. the diffusion of chemical signals over any significant distance would be too slow to cause muscle contractions quickly enough to deal with the challenges of moving a large body in a complex environment. electrical signals travel much more rapidly and the direction of the signal can be more easily controlled. the mechanism for generating and controlling electrical signals is the movement of charged material (ions) across cellular membranes in a limited area. the control of ion movement requires gated channels through the membrane that are specific for certain ions and either open or close (depending on the ion) in response to a change in electrical charge. view the animation below, then complete the quiz to test your knowledge of the concept?

Answer:

DNA is made up of a sugar phosphate backbone .

it has4 bases namely adenine ,thymine ,guanine and cytosine shortened to A T G C

adenine and thymine are connected by 2 hydrogen bonds and guanine and cytosine are connected by 3 hydrogen bonds

the two strands are anti parallel in nature ie, if one strand is from 3 to 5 the strand is from 5 to 3.. there are three types of DNA depending on the environment... they are adna bdna and zdna

Answer:

Methane is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH4, symbolizing one atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen. It is a group 14 hydride and the simplest alkaline, and is the main constituent of natural gas. The relative abundance of methane on Earth makes it an economically attractive fuel, although capturing and storing it poses technical challenges due to its gaseous state under normal conditions for temperature and pressure. Methane naturally occurs both below ground and under the seafloor, and is formed by both geological and biological processes. In nature, methane is produced by the anaerobic bacterial decomposition of vegetable matter under water. Methane is important because it can be captured from landfills, can be burned to produce electricity, heat buildings, or power garbage trucks. Methane can also be captured from farm digesters, which are big tanks that contain manure and other waste from barns that house livestock such as cows and pigs. In fact, Jordan Dairy Farms in Massachusetts uses a biodigester to turn cow manure into methane gas, which is used for fuel or turned into electricity.

Researchers can manipulate the genes of a mouse so that a single gene in a single tissue either produces an inactive protein (a
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1) The genetic changes can lead to a reduction in the capacity of the mice to move glycogen at its branches points and lowers blood glucose levels between meals.

2) Genetic changed can lead to a decrease in the capacity to lower blood glucose due to the knock out of the hexokinase gene leading to elevated levels in the bloodstream.

(c) A knockout of FBPase2 will result in elevated levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in

liver favoring the glycolytic pathway and inhibiting gluconeogenesis by the decrease of fructose 1,6-

bisphosphatase-1 activity

(d) An active FBPase-2 will now favor gluconeogenesis and this inhibits glycolysis. I.e. a decrease in PFK-1 activity while increasing FBPase-1 activity simultaneously.
