Infer why energy is necessary to counteract the diffusion of Na+ and K+ ions across the plasma membrane of a neuron.

1 answer:

4 0

Energy is necessary to counteract the diffusion of Na + and K + ions across the plasma membrane of a neuron because the ions tend to diffuse across the plasma membrane from an area of high concentration of ions to an area of low concentration of ions, causing an equal distribution of ions outside and inside of the cell ...

hope u find your answer...........

Sydney wants to explain the concept of the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. If she uses an analogy of a coat rack,

Svet_ta [14]

The human skeleton can be divided in 2 parts: axial and appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton is composed by the skull, spine and ribs. The appendicular skeleton refers to the limbs (both arms and legs).

Using the metaphor of the coat rack, the axial skeleton would be the central pole of the rack and the appendicular skeleton would be both the pieces where you hang the coats and the feet or base of the coat rack.

<h3>What is Sanger sequencing? </h3>

It is a chain termination method developed by Frederick Sanger and colleagues in 1977.

The process to determine the sequence of nucleotide bases in a part of a DNA molecule is called DNA sequencing. In the process of Sanger sequencing, the DNA molecule to be sequenced is copied multiple times by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

This creates DNA fragments of different lengths. Fluorescent labelled dideoxynucleotides are then used to terminate further chain formation.

This process marks the end of fragments and allows sequence determination. Therefore, a ddNTP is used in the Sanger Sequencing process. Compared to the normal DNA precursors, ddNTP lacks oxygen at the 3' carbon.
