Biology

RoseWind [281]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

A cell as the functional and structural unit of life exhibits numerous concepts of life which include:

1. Growth; A cell is a subject to this as the growth of a cell translates to the growth of the tissue is composed of, the cell is responsible for all biochemical actions in living organisms, this growth is achieved via mitosis.

2. Reproduction: Cells also experience reproduction via meiosis, where a diploid cell divides to produce 2haploid cells an example of this is the spermatozoa.

3. Death: Cells are also subject to death, which can either be programmed (Apoptosis), or due to sickness(Necrosis). This is also found when humans die and become stiff due to rigor mortis which occurs as a result of cell death

What is the correct sequence of events along an axon that follows a membrane reaching threshold potential?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

As sodium ions diffuse inward, sodium channels open.

Membrane depolarization occurs.

Potassium ions spread outward as potassium channels open.

Membrane repolarization occurs.

<h3>What happens along an axon in the right order ?</h3><h3 />

An action potential, which is a fast change in membrane potential, develops when the membrane potential of a neuron's axon hillock hits threshold. There are three steps to this shifting change in membrane potential. Depolarization occurs first, then repolarization, and then there is a brief phase of hyperpolarization.

  • A depolarizing current causes an explosion of electrical activity known as the action potential. This indicates that the resting potential shifts toward 0 mV as a result of some action (a stimulus).

Like all cells, the neurons' internal organization dictates its function. Neurons have relatively many mitochondria, an extensiv
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Neurons have stable, relatively unchanging internal environments.

Explanation:

Neurons or nerve cells is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. Neurons consists of the dendrites, axon, cell body and different cell organelles.

The neurons have mitochondria that meets the high ATP requirement and and consume more oxygen. The network of rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes produce large number of proteins in neuron. The internal environment is never stable and gets changed as the nerve impulse transmission occur through the neuron. The membrane potential of the neuron gets changed and changes its internal environment.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Describe how the mutation has effected the protein coded by this gene?
adell [148]

Answer:

By changing a gene's instructions for making a protein, a mutation can cause the protein to malfunction or to be missing entirely. When a mutation alters a protein that plays a critical role in the body, it can disrupt normal development or cause a medical condition.
