When neurons are not producing electrical signals we say that they are at resting phase: voltage across their membrane is called the resting membrane potential, or the resting potential.
This potential is determined by the concentration of ions (Na, K) across the membrane and by membrane permeability to each type of ion. While the ions move through channels down their gradients they lead to a separation of charge and that is what creates the resting potential.
The membrane of the neuron is much more permeable for K ions so the resting potential is close to the equilibrium potential of K+.
Answer:
Explanation:
Two of the most important and widespread vitamin-derived coenzymes are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and coenzyme A. ... When NAD loses an electron, the low energy coenzyme called NAD+ is formed. When NAD gains an electron, a high-energy coenzyme called NADH is formed.
Ribosomes are in charge of making proteins.
Answer:
Sexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction involving the fusion of haploid female gamete (egg cell) and haploid male gamete (sperm cell). The fusion of these gametes occurs at fertilization resulting in the formation of a diploid zygote. ... Two major types of sexual reproduction are syngamy and conjugation.
Explanation:
The danger of blood collecting inside the pericardial sac after blunt chest wall trauma is that: the heart cannot contract as effectively.
