How will preventing the inactivation of sodium channels affect the signaling capability of a neuron?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Katen [24]3 years ago
8 0
The neuron becomes more positive. This can lead to the neuron reaching threshold and then initiate an action potential. When the sodium channels are NOT functional, the sodium can not enter and depolarize it. Therefore the threshold can not be met and action potential will not occur. If the sodium channels are inactive in a nociceptive neuron (carries information about pain), then it will prevent you from feeling pain.

Enough of a monoprotic acid is dissolved in water to produce a 1.64 M solution. The pH of the resulting solution is 2.82 . Calcu
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶

Explanation:

A monoprotic acid, HX, will be in equilibrium in an aqueous medium such as:

HX(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + X⁻(aq)

<em>Where Ka is:</em>

Ka = [H⁺] [X⁻] / [HX]

<em>Where [] is the molar concentration in equilibrium of each specie. </em>

The equilibrium is reached when some HX reacts producing H+ and X-, that is:

[HX] = 1.64M - X

[H⁺] = X

[X⁻] = X

As pH is 2.82 = -log [H⁺]:

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M:

[HX] = 1.64M - 1.51x10⁻³M = 1.638M

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M

[X⁻] = 1.51x10⁻³M

And Ka is:

Ka = [1.51x10⁻³M] [1.51x10⁻³M] / [1.638M]

<h3>Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶</h3>

What is the biological significance of the temperature at which the amylase catalyzed reaction
ipn [44]

Answer:

The biological significance is that it is the normal human body temperature and also the optimum temperature of the enzyme.

Explanation:

  • Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions.
  • Enzymes catalyze specific reactions by working on a specific substrate to convert it into a product.
  • The rate of enzyme activity depends on several factors which include pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration among others.
  • Enzymes work best at a specific pH and temperature known as optimum pH and optimum temperature respectively.
  • In this case, enzyme amylase works best at a temperature of 37° C which is equivalent to the normal human body temperature.
