Complete each statement by using the appropriate word or phrase from the list. Then place the statements in the order of an acti

on potential repolarization event.
1. Through the activated channels, _________ now flows outwards causing the membrane to repolarize back towards RMP.
2. As the membrane potential ___________, the voltage-regulated sodium channels begin closing which in turn reduces the sodium movement to the ICF
3. With a larger duration of activation than sodium channels, the potassium channels allow for a greater movement of potassium to the ECF causing a short period of_______.
4. With membrane potentials approaching +35 mV, the _________channels become fully activated.
a. Sodium
b. Voltage regulate sodium
c. Potassium
d. Rises towards zero
e. Hyperpolarization
f. Voltage regulated potassium

Answer:

1. Potassium

2. increasing towards zero

3. hyperpolarization

4. voltage-regulated Potassium

Explanation:

Membrane potential can be defined as the difference in electric charges inside and outside of a cell. The resting membrane potential (RMP) occurs when there is no net current across the membrane and therefore the cell is in a non-excited state. At the RMP, sodium ions (Na+) are more concentrated inside the extracellular fluid (ECF) than inside the intracellular fluid (ICF), while potassium ions (K+)  are more concentrated inside the ICF. The diffusion of K+ outside the cell triggers its hyperpolarization, by becoming the membrane potential more negative compared to the resting potential. As the potential nears +35 mV, the voltage-regulated potassium channels are open, thereby K+ ions leave the cell down its concentration gradient, while voltage-gated Na+ channels become saturated and inactivate.

How are the processes of photos sentences and saw your respiration opposites of one another
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

This question is not well structured. Based on understanding, the correct structure should be: How are the processes of photosynthesis and respiration opposites of one another?

They are opposite because photosynthesis uses the products of cellular respiration and vice versa.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are both metabolic processes that occurs within the cells of living organisms. Photosynthesis is the process where green plants synthesize food (sugar) in the presence of sunlight using carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). The general equation is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

On the other hand, respiration is the process whereby cells of living organisms synthesize usable energy (ATP) for use by breaking down glucose (C6H12O6) in the presence of oxygen. The equation is as follows:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Based on the observation of the reactants and products of each process, it can be realized that the PRODUCTS of one process is the REACTANTS of the other. In other words, photosynthesis makes use of CO2 and water as REACTANTS, which are the PRODUCTS of respiration while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen as REACTANTS, which are PRODUCTS of photosynthesis.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using RNA or protein as genetic material?
larisa86 [58]

The most important idea is that the genetic material of any organism must be able to accurately replicate itself at least every generation (or for multicellular organisms at each cell division).  

Base pairing (A-T or U and C-G)allows DNA and RNA (eg in polio virus, see Wikipedia page on RNA dependent RNA polymerase) to create a copy of themselves, when the appropriate enzymes are present. Proteins have no way of making a copy of themselves.  

Stability is probably the main reason DNA is the most common genetic material. DNA has no enzymatic activity and was probably selected for to maintain the integrity of the genetic material (rather than having to perform a function for the cell/virus, during which it may be destroyed). The double helix structure also protects its integrity, and proofreading enzymes have also evolved which correct most of the mistakes made at DNA replication. RNA viruses don't have this mechanism- which could be said to be an advantage (as they can rapidly change and therefore avoid their hosts' immune systems), however in non-parasitic organisms most mutations in a gene would lead to a loss of an essential function and the extinction of that genome.  

I don't think either of these reasons are relevant, but I think the main reasons retroviruses convert their RNA to DNA are so they can use the host cell's replication machinery (this was they do not need to encode as many genes), and secondly they need avoid the antiviral mechanisms of the cell, which would destroy any double stranded RNA molecules found (even if the virus was single stranded, dsRNA would have to be produced at replication).
