Answer:
Gated ion-channels
Explanation:
These ion channels are protein molecules that act as a passageway which span across the cell membrane allowing the movement of ions from one side of the membrane to the other. They possess the ability to open and close in response to either chemical or mechanical signals.They possess a fluidic pore, which becomes available to ions after a conformational change in the protein structure has been activated causing the ion channel to open. Based on the stimulus to which they respond, ion channels are divided into three groups: voltage-gated, ligand-gated and mechano-sensitive ion channels. Channels responding to electrical (voltage-dependent ion channels), mechanical, or chemical (ligand-gated ion channels) stimuli open and allow rapid ion movement into or out of the cell, and this movement creates an electrical signals.
Food chains model energy flow through an ecosystem. Producers pump energy into an ecosystem from an environmental source, and this energy is then passed from one organism to the next.
Answer:
Entropy of an isolated system either increases or remains constant. If there are no irreversibilities in an isolated system then its entropy will remain constant. But that is a hypothetical case. In real life case, there is always some irreversibility present in the system.
Explanation:
A recessive trait inheritance could be more prevalent in a population than the dominant because mutation could occur because the mating does not have a wide variation causing a lethal gene or an autosomal sex link to be easily passed on the offspring
