The change in electrical potential that occurs when an impulse passes through a nerve cell

Biology
1 answer:
Nadusha1986 [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The answer to this definition is: ACTION POTENTIAL

Explanation:

Action potential is a phenomenon in nervous system used to describe a change in electrical current that occurs when an impulse passes through a neuron or nerve cell. Action potential is induced when sodium (Na+) ions move from the extracellular environment into the intracellular environment.

Impulse travels across the axon of a neuron and thereby causes a difference in the electric potential i.e. - mv to + mv. This process, according to this question, whereby a change in electrical potential occurs due to the passage of an impulse through a nerve cell is termed ACTION POTENTIAL.

Regulatory and basal transcription factors regulate transcription by binding to the promoter.A) True B) False
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In eukaryotes apart from RNA polymerase, the transcription of genes requires many different proteins called transcription factors. These transcription factors are important to initiate and regulate transcription.

There are two types of transcription factors regulatory and basal transcription factors. Basal transcription factors regulate transcription by binding to a gene promoter and regulatory transcription factor regulates transcription by binding to some regulatory sequences for example enhancers and silencers.  

Therefore only basal transcription factor binds to the promoter for regulating transcription. Therefore the statement is false.
