Question
Chapter 13, Problem 19P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the flow of ions through a single open mechanosensitive channel increases or decreases in response to an appropriate stimulus needs to be explained.
ConceptIntroduction:
The appropriate stimulus will not raise in a single open mechano-sensitive channel. Mechanosensitive channels counter to membrane tension by changing their shape between open and closed state.
