Potassium channel blockers (such as amiodarone and procainamide) are used to treat abnormal electrical activity of the heart. Th

ese drugs impede movement of K through voltage fated K channels. Which part of the action potential would you expect these drugs to most directly affect

Answer:

repolarization  

Explanation:

Potassium channel blockers are drugs that interfere with the flow of potassium ions (K+) through potassium channels in cell membranes, thereby prolonging the duration of the action potential (repolarization phase). For example, amiodarone is a class III antiarrhythmic agent whose target is HERG human cardiac K+ channel. This drug (amiodarone) acts by prolonging the repolarization phase of the cardiac action potential.

How do restriction enzymes work?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Explanation:

Like all enzymes, a restriction enzyme works by shape-to-shape matching. When it comes into contact with a DNA sequence with a shape that matches a part of the enzyme, called the recognition site, it wraps around the DNA and causes a break in both strands of the DNA molecule.

If a bacteria is positive for the enzyme urease and is inoculated in a urea reduction broth tube at 37∘C for 24 hrs, what color
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The color would be Pink

Explanation:

According to the question, the bacteria is positive for the enzyme urease and it's inoculated for 24 hours.

Urease broth is a differential medium that tests the ability of an organism to produce urease, that hydrolyzes urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. The broth contains two pH buffers, urea, a very small amount of nutrients for the bacteria, and the pH indicator phenol red. Phenol red turns yellow in an acidic environment and fuchsia in an alkaline environment.

If the urea in the broth is degraded and ammonia is produced, an alkaline environment is created, and the media turns pink within 24 hours.

Many enterics can hydrolyze urea; but only a few can degrade urea rapidly. These are called “rapid urease-positive” organisms.

Urea broth is formulated to test for rapid urease-positive organisms. The restrictive amount of nutrients coupled with the use of pH buffers prevent all but rapid urease-positive organisms from producing enough ammonia to turn the phenol red pink.

Explain the purpose of the pH scale and what does it measure?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water. Water that has more free hydrogen ions is acidic, whereas water that has more free hydroxyl ions is basic. Since pH can be affected by chemicals in the water, pH is an important indicator of water that is changing chemically.
