Investigators studying a particular cell response are curious about what type of cell-surface receptor might trigger it. They in

cubate cells with EDTA, a chemical known to sequester Ca2+. This treatment, they find, abolishes the response they are studying. Based on this information, which type of receptor is likely to be involved?

Answer:

An ion channel, more specifically a calcium channel.

Explanation:

The electrical activity of the cells is regulated by ion channels. Calcium channels, also referred as the voltage-gated calcium channels constitute one group of a superfamily of ion channels. A change in voltage across the membrane or small molecules triggers calcium channels to open, allowing calcium to flow into the cell. Inside the cell, calcium acts as a second messenger, it binds to calcium sensitive proteins to induce different responses and support several functions such as muscle contraction, hormone and neurotransmitter secretion, gene regulation, activation of other ion channels, control of action potentials, cell survival, etc.

AfilCa [17]

Answer: well i guess we can say that  is a scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution and it is important to keep ph of hot tub water between 7 and 7.6 because if it is not balanced the water  can negatively affect your tub.

Explanation:

pH is an extremely important chemical level to maintain in your spa's water chemistry. A high pH or a low pH will spell trouble for you and your spa. On the pH scale, a reading of 7.4-7.6 indicates perfectly balanced pH. Any number lower than 7.4 means that your water is now considered “acidic”.

Determine the pH of 0.050 M HCN solution. HCN is a weak acid with a Ka equal to 4.9 x 10-10<br> DONE
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The pH of the solution is 5.31.

Explanation:

Let "\alpha is the dissociation of weak acid - HCN.

The dissociation reaction of HCN is as follows.

                  HCN+H_{2}O\rightarrow H_{3}O^{+}+CN^{-}

Initial                  C                         0            0

Equilibrium        c(1- \alpha)              c\alpha c\alpha

Dissociation constant = Ka= c\alpha \times \frac{c\alpha}{c(1-\alpha)}

=\frac{c\alpha^{2}}{(1-\alpha)}

In this case weak acids \alpha is very small so, (1-\alpha ) is taken as 1.

Ka=C\alpha^{2}

\alpha=\sqrt\frac{ka}{c}

From the given the concentration = 0.050 M

Substitute the given value.

\alpha=\sqrt\frac{4.9\times 10^{-10}}{0.05}=9.8\times 10^{-4}

[H_{3}O^{+}]=c\alpha

[H_{3}O^{+}]=0.05\times 9.8\times 10^{-4}= 4.9\times10^{-6}

pH= -log[H_{3}O^{+}]

=-log[4.9\times10^{-6}]

=6-log 4.9= 5.31

Therefore, The pH of the solution is 5.31.

Which taxonomic classification level is the largest or most broad?(1 point)
patriot [66]

According to the research, domain is the taxonomic classification level that is the largest or most broad.

<h3>What is domain?</h3>

It is the broadest taxonomic category in which known living things are classified.

In other words, it is the broadest category in which the different kingdoms of life can be organized, according to the classification models that are most widely accepted in the scientific community.

Therefore, we can conclude that according to the research, domain is the taxonomic classification level that is the largest or most broad.
