When a red blood cell is placed in water, the water molecules will enter the cell rapidly as a result of osmosis. Osmosis is the process by which molecules moves through a cell permeable membrane from the region of lower concentration to that of higher concentration.
The inside of the red blood cell is more concentrated than the water in which it is placed, so water will move into the cell via osmosis.
This will make the cell to swell up and to burst open.<span />
An ion channel in the membrane of neurons which <u>open or close</u> in response to a neurotransmitter that binds to its receptor is called: ligand-gated channel.
<h3>What is an
action potential?</h3>
An action potential can be defined as a sudden, fast change in electrical (voltage) potential with respect to the transmission of an impulse to a receptor, across a cellular membrane such as:
<h3>What is a neuron?</h3>
A neuron is a nerve cell that is saddled with the responsibility of transmitting electrical impulses down an axon across a cellular membrane of the body of a living organism through an action potential.
In Science, a ligand-gated channel is a type of ion channel in the membrane of neurons which <u>open or close</u> in response to a neurotransmitter that binds to its receptor.

The best example of hypothesis which leads to new experiment methods was done by Morgan where he used fruit flies.
Thomas Hunt Morgan continues on genetic research which is of Gregor Mendel.
