How do sodium and potassium leak channels play a role in the development of the negative membrane potential of the axolemma (pla

sma membrane of the axon)?
Biology

kirza4 [7]3 years ago

The plasma membrane of axon is called axolemma. The potassium and sodium leak channels leak the sodium and potassium ions inside the cell respectively. The leak channels provide the constant movement of ions across the membrane. Potassium and sodium ions are positively charged, thus entry of positively charged ions inside the cell makes the cell more positively charged than the environment outside the cell. The environment outside the cell becomes more negatively charged. This leads in the negative membrane potential of axolemma.

How is gene regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes similar how is it different?
Triss [41]
Prokaryotes are unicellular (single-celled) organisms and on the other hand Eukaryotes are multicellular organisms and more developed in organ and structure compared to prokaryotes. Gene regulation is key to both organisms as it determines growth and development and other process and activities performed by the organism. However, the two organisms differ in the way they regulate their genes. Prokaryotes cells lack nucleus while the eukaryotic cells have a well defined nucleus. In Prokaryotes RNA transcription and protein formation occur almost simultaneously while in the Eukaryotes RNA transcription occur before the protein formation in the nucleus and then protein formation occurs in the cytoplasm. In addition both organisms uses the same processes in gene regulation  and only differ in the manner the processes are undertaken. Lastly, gene expression in prokaryotes is regulated at transcriptional level whereas in eukaryotes regulation is at many levels.

How do food webs show the flow of energy?
stepladder [879]
Food webs normally start at the bottom and work their way up. Like the plants will be at the bottom, and then each level shows the animals getting bigger while losing energy. You continually lose energy as you work your way up an ecosystem, so normally there are only three or four levels. I hope this helps!

Which of the following statements does not highlight a difference in eukaryotic and prokaryotic translation?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

a. the first methionine in eukaryotic translation contains a formyl group.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis begins when the initiator aminoacyl tRNA carrying the initiator amino acid joins the mRNA-small ribosomal subunit complex. Procaryotes and eucaryotes differ from each other in the identity of the first initiator amino acid. In both types of organisms, "AUG" serves as an initiation codon. However, procaryotes have formyl-methionine joined to the amino acid arm of the initiator tRNA while eucaryotic initiator tRNA carries methionine as the first amino acid to be added to the protein.
