There are choices for this question namely:

<span>a. K+ leaks into cells.
b. Voltage-gated Na+ channels become inactivated.
c. Voltage-gated K+ channels become inactivated.
d. Na+ reaches equilibrium across the neural membrane and stops leaking in.
e. Voltage-gated Na+ channels close.

The correct answer is "voltage-gated Na+ channels become inactivated". In the events concerning an action potential, the first event is a stimulus that depolarize the resting membrane potential up to the threshold. When the threshold is reached there will be opening of voltage gated Na+ channels wherein sodium can enter the cell and make the membrane more positive therefore called depolarization. After depolarization, voltage gated Na+ channels become inactivated and K+ leaks out of the cell making the cell less negative hence repolarization. After which, more and more K+ ions leaks out making the membrane more negative than the resting membrane potential hence hyperpolarization. When K+ channels are inactivated, the cell membrane will eventually go back to its resting membrane potential.</span>

The answer is macrophages. They either actively invade these leukocytes or are phagocytosed, divide in the cells and cause lysis. The promastigotes that invade these leucocytes are transformed into amastigotes in the macrophages. These amastigotes continue attacking other healthy macrophages while others migrate to the mid gut.

rodikova [14]

Variations, traits

Not all members of a species are the same. Every species exhibit variations. Traits, like eye color, are passed from parent to offspring.

Genetic variation is the subtle differences in the DNA sequence in each individual’s genomes. Genetic variation results in various forms or alleles of genes that determines distinct traits such as eye color, skin color, shape of face, and hair color that can be passed on from parents to offspring.

The concentration of a biomolecule inside a rod-shaped prokaryotic cell is 0.0037 m. calculate the number of molecules inside th
Talja [164]

First, let calculate the volume of the rod shaped-bacteria:

S = length of the bacteria * surface of its side = 4.1 * (0.45 *0.45 * 3.14) = 2.6 µm3

Now, let's convert the moles into molecules (with Avogadro's law):

0.0037mol/L = 0.0037 * 6.023 *10^23 = 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L

Now let's convert The volume and the concetrnation into µm3 (molecules / µm3)

1 L = 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3 = 1000000 mm3 = 10^9 µm3

so 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L = 2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3

The answer is  2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3
