Transport proteins (carrier proteins and channel proteins) allow substances into and out of the cell that cannot pass through the phospholipid bilayer (as they’re either to large, charged or not lipid soluble) by facilitated diffusion.
Specifically channel proteins allow ions into and out of the cell by creating a pore in the membrane in which they can move through with their concentration gradient
Tissue damage activates nociceptors or pain receptors in the skin. A signal is sent to the peripheral nerve to the spinal cord where neurotransmitters or chemical messengers are released. It activates other nerves to pass signal to the brain. The signals are relayed to the somatosensory cortex for sensation, frontal cortex for thinking and limbic system for emotional response.
Answer:
White shark bites, parasites, food availability, habitat degradation are among some of the contributing factors threatening the recovery of the species. The greatest threat to a sea otter is the oil spills.
Hope this helps!
Extra - Fun fact - Sea otters play a vital role in the health and stability of the nearshore marine ecosystem as a keystone species.
Answer:
E. It takes a picture of the brain according to oxygen levels. More oxygen in an area indicates more activity in that area.
Explanation:
Haemoglobin is diamagnetic when oxygenated but paramagnetic when deoxygenated. This distinction in magnetic characteristics leads to tiny variations in the blood MR signal. Since blood oxygenation differs, these variations can be used to identify brain activity depending on the concentrations of neural activity.
