ATP binding (ATP gated) IS NOT a mechanism to control the opening and closing of ion channels (Option a).

ATP-gated channels are membrane channel proteins that open in response to binding ATP.

These channels require energy in the form of ATP to open and thus allow the passage of ions/molecules across biological membranes.

For example, the P2X7 receptor is an ATP-gated channel that mediates apoptosis (programmed cell death) of immune cells.

In conclusion, ATP binding (ATP gated) IS NOT a mechanism to control the opening and closing of ion channels (Option a).

Answer:

<h2>D) ATP binding (ATP gated)</h2>

Explanation:

There are three types of ion gated channel regulated by ligand binding, change in membrane potential and distortion of the cell membrane...

So the answer is ATP Binding( ATP gated) is not a mechanism to control opening and closing of Ion channels.

A binding protein binds to a ligand, L, with a Kd of 400 nM. How much ligand (in nM) is present when the fraction of ligand boun

mina [271]

Answer:

600nM

Explanation:

From Concentration of Ligand = Ykd/1 - Y

where Kd = 400nM.

fraction of ligand bound Y = 0.60

Plugging the values of Y and Kd;

Concentration = 0.6 x 400 / 1 - 0.6

Concentration = 600 x 10^-9

= 600nM

The net primary productivity is usually more than 80% of gross primary productivity.

fomenos

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

As GPP stands for the gross primary productivity, it's the total amount of energy produced in the process and the NPP is the net primary productivity. NPP is the difference between the GPP and the energy used by the producer for the process of respiration.

GPP is a continuous and ongoing process that consumes the energy as compared to the NPP that store energy and not being used. Thus, GPP can affect NPP but NPP does not affect GPP.

For example, GPP is completely being dependent on the chlorophyll content of the plant, but NPP is independent of that content of chlorophyll.
