If we were able to artificially alter the membrane permeability of pacemaker cells so that sodium influx is more rapid, ________

. A) threshold is reached more quickly and heart rate would increase B) potassium channels compensate and no change in heart rate would occur C) heart rate would decrease, but blood pressure would rise due to the excess sodium present D) tetanic contraction would occur due to the short absolute refractory period of cardiac muscle

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

The permeability of the pacemaker cell's membrane is the factor that controls the density of the materials inside the cell which also includes sodium and that controls the neurons and muscles. So if we were able to artificially alter the pacemaker cell's membrane parmeability, for the heart it would result in a quicker satisfaction of the threshold value and therefore would increase the heart rate.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:

A,

Explanation

Increase membrane permeability  to rapid  sodium influx  leads   to  fast depolarization.With continuous rapid opening now ,  threshold  will be reached onetime.

Hence  fast  propagation of action potential occurs . since reploarization and refractive period now shortened, due to increase  rate of depolarization .Rapid action potential will be propagated and transmitted in  the  cardiac cells. Leading contraction rapid  systolic  contraction.

Increase in sodium  ion concentration in the cardiac cells  leads to retention of fluids( the high solute potential draws water in from surrounding tissues and plasma by osmosis) in the  cardiac muscles cells. <em>This leads to increase in blood pressure, and the  increasing after load leads to rapid heart rate.</em>

Is it possible to have a knockout mutant plant that shows no visible phenotype that is different from the wild-type plant?
joja [24]

Answer:

Molecular genetic approaches to the study of plant metabolism can be traced back to the isolation of the first cDNA encoding a plant enzyme (Bedbrook et al., 1980), the use of the Agrobacterium Ti plasmid to introduce foreign DNA into plant cells (Hernalsteens et al., 1980) and the establishment of routine plant transformation systems (Bevan, 1984; Horsch et al., 1985). It became possible to express foreign genes in plants and potentially to overexpress plant genes using cDNAs linked to strong promoters, with the aim of modifying metabolism. However, the discovery of the antisense phenomenon of plant gene silencing (van der Krol et al., 1988; Smith et al., 1988), and subsequently co‐suppression (Napoli et al., 1990; van der Krol et al., 1990), provided the most powerful and widely‐used methods for investigating the roles of specific enzymes in metabolism and plant growth. The antisense or co‐supression of gene expression, collectively known as post‐transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), has been particularly versatile and powerful in studies of plant metabolism. With such molecular tools in place, plant metabolism became accessible to investigation and manipulation through genetic modification and dramatic progress was made in subsequent years (Stitt and Sonnewald, 1995; Herbers and Sonnewald, 1996), particularly in studies of solanaceous species (Frommer and Sonnewald, 1995).

How do the resurection of fern, crysts of brine shrimps and tardigrade survive with no water?
ehidna [41]
They survive without water by entering a special mode, otherwise called as shriveling. They can lose even 95% of water in their body and still live, even though they would look like dead plants, they would actually be alive. In the absence of water, tardigrades use a sugar called trehalose, which becomes their source of life until they find some water.

QveST [7]
I think that they will g<span>ain water in the distilled water and lose water in salty water. I think water will be lost because salt is used as an drying agent, it is why when it snow they will put salt on ice to keep the ice from being slippery because it dries things up. Distill just means to purify something.</span>
