Question
Chapter 42.3, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction
To determine Whether ions are the only molecules that pass through the ion channels whith reference to fig: 5.16 given in the book.
Introduction: All the cells of the animal's body have membrane potential. The cells of the muscles and neuron have the property of excitability. The ions and molecules diffuse across these cells and change the membrane potential of the cell.

- Please ASAP. Thank you What is the effect of membrane potentials on the movement of ions across a cell? Calculate this below.arrow_forwardYour friend has made an artificial membrane to study ion concentration gradients in a laboratory and is confused after observing the ion concentration gradient in the image below. Initially (Time 1) there was a very strong concentration gradient across the membrane and your friend expected that ions would move until the concentrations were equal across the membrane. For a short time there was movement of ions but this soon stopped and there is no further change in the situation no matter how long you wait (see Time 2). Time 1 You friend is confused because there is still a strong concentration gradient and there are open ion channels available. So why don't the concentrations equalise? After thinking about it you realise that there must be some information that is incorrect or missing from the diagram above. Select the image below that explains why the ion concentrations remain unequal across the membrane Time 2 Select the correct image by clicking on it (you can only select one…arrow_forwardVISUAL SKILLS Looking at Figure 19.9, imagine youare a researcher trying to combat HIV infection.

- the game. And the game officially started! The game will work by team. Sakuragi and his team are placed in small submarine shrunk down to microscopic size and injected into a stained living ceili. The teams goai is to find out what is happening in the area because the object is slowly occupying the space where there are many creatures are living. They started their path on the fluid. As they continue their journey, they reached in a transparent layer. In order to make the navigational adjustment, 1. they need to identify this substance. What could be this thing? They scanned the area using an ultra telescope designed by the company that useful for their goal.
