Answer:
Key points
Neurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapses. At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron—another cell.
Most synapses are chemical; these synapses communicate using chemical messengers. Other synapses are electrical; in these synapses, ions flow directly between cells.
At a chemical synapse, an action potential triggers the presynaptic neuron to release neurotransmitters. These molecules bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell and make it more or less likely to fire an action potential.
Explanation:
Answer:
•The hydrolysis of ATP to drive a thermodynamically unfavorable reaction.this process is ATP coupling
Explanation:
For example, the conversation of glucose to glucose -6-phosphate.
Answer:
The correct answer would be B. semi-permeable.
Plasma membrane of any cell including red blood cell is semi-permeable in nature as it is made up of lipid bilayer.
It permits the passage of certain substances across the membrane while it blocks other substances.
Gases, small uncharged or non-polar substances such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, et cetera can easily pass through the cell membrane of a cell.
Large or charged molecules such as proteins, sodium ions, potassium ions et cetera can not pass through the cell membrane. They require carrier proteins to pass through the membrane.
Answer:
C. The results of a model event may not be similar enough to the results of the actual event.
Explanation:
The problem with models is that sometimes we trust them too much! Sometimes they are not accurate for long-term actual events. This is answer choice C.
- Models are never more accurate than reality, so rule out A.
- The model is based on our predictions of the actual event, so rule out B.
- The model being "too similar" to the actual event is what we want! So rule out D.
