What properties of ion channels allow them to generate the large, rapid changes in membrane potential?
Suppose you inactivated a neuron’s Na/K exchange pumps (the active transporters), then immediately stimulated the neuron. Would the cell’s ability to respond to a second stimulus be changed? Explain briefly
How do intracellular signalingcircuits generate specific and dynamicsignaling patterns such as oscillationsand waves, and how are thesepatterns sensed and interpreted bythe cell?
How does the movement of ICF K+ ions down its concentration gradient affect membrane potential?
The negatively charged intracellular environment and resulting resting membranepotential of neurons and muscle cells fundamentally develops because of:A. the presence of a high extracellular potassium concentration.B. the presence of negatively charged intracellular proteins.C. the high electron concentration found in the extracellular fluidsD. the presence of voltage-gated-sodium channells
Which statements are true? Explain why or why not.1 Transport by transporters can be either active orpassive, whereas transport by channels is always passive.2 Transporters saturate at high concentrations ofthe transported molecule when all their binding sites areoccupied; channels, on the other hand, do not bind theions they transport and thus the flux of ions through achannel does not saturate.3 The membrane potential arises from movementsof charge that leave ion concentrations practically unaf-fected, causing only a very slight discrepancy in the num-ber of positive and negative ions on the two sides of themembrane.
When opened, the ligand-gated cation channels do not allow diffusion of Cl-because :-a- the size of Cl- is bigger than the bore of the channelsb- intracellular negativity causes complete inhibition of Cl- influxc- the channels are specific for diffusion of Na + onlyd- the inner surface of the channels is negatively charged
