What are some similarities and differences between SEM and TEM microscopes

1 answer:

7 0

SEM and TEM are electron microscopes whereas the SEM uses reflected electrons and TEM uses transmitted electrons to form an image

Explanation:

SEM is the scanning electron microscopes and TEM is the Transmission electron microscope

SEM works by detecting the scattered electrons to create an image of the sample whereas the TEM detects the transmitted electrons to create the image of the sample

SEM will only be analysing the surface of the sample whereas TEM collects data vertically also

TEM sample needs to cut thinner than SEM and TEM will give high-resolution images than SEM

Some of the drugs used to treat hiv patients are competitive inhibitors of the hiv reverse transcriptase enzyme. unfortunately,

REY [17]

Such changes would occur mostly likely near or in the active binding site of the enzyme.
Because the drugs used are competitive inhibitors of the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme, it means that they connect directly to the active binding site of this enzyme not allowing it to preform its function. If the mutations impede this drugs to work, it is probably because they alter the active binding site of the enzyme, not allowing the drug to bind and have its competitive behaviour permitting the enzyme to work normally.

You measure levels of Ca2+ in various locations within a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber when the motor neuron is NOT d

gogolik [260]

Answer:

The correct answer is 3: "High levels of Ca2+ are expected to be found within the sarcoplasmic reticulum".

Explanation:

Muscular contraction is a highly regulated process that depends on free calcium concentration in the cytoplasm. Amounts of cytoplasmic calcium are regulated by sarcoplasmic reticulum that functions as a storage of the ion.

When a nerve impulse reaches the membrane of a muscle fiber, through acetylcholine release, the membrane depolarizes producing the entrance of calcium from extracellular space. The impulse is transmitted along the membrane to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, from where calcium is released. At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. The calcium channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum controls the ion release, that activates and regulates muscle contraction, by increasing its cytoplasmic levels. When calcium binds to the troponin C, the troponin T alters the tropomyosin by moving it and then unblocks the binding sites, making possible the formation of cross-bridges between actin and myosin filaments. When myosin binds to the uncovered actin-binding sites, ATP is transformed into ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Z-bands are then pulled toward each other, thus shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, and producing muscle fiber contraction.
