- In most neurons, membrane depolarization leads to the opening of voltage-dependent ion channels, generation of an action potential, and, ultimately, an influx of Ca2+, which causes release of neurotransmitter at the axon terminus. Devise a cellular strategy by which hyperpolarization in rod cells could produce excitation of the visual pathway and passage of visual signals to the brain. (Hint: The neuronal signaling pathway in higher organisms consists of a series of neurons that relay information to the brain. The signal released by one neuron can be either excitatory or inhibitory to the following, postsynaptic neuron.)arrow_forwardSeparately, draw a table using arrows to depict the appropriate magnitude and direction of the forces and ion fluxes at different membrane potentials for a ligand-gated channel that is equally permeable to both ion X+ and ion Y+. The equilibrium potential for ion X+ is -60 mV, and the equilibrium potential for ion Y+ is -20 mV. Which item best represents the forces and fluxes for a membrane potential of -60 mV? Pick one of the four tables in the included image please for your answer.arrow_forwardDescribe three ways in which a gradual increase inan extracellular signal can be sharpened by the target cellto produce an abrupt or nearly all-or-none response.arrow_forward
- Ion channels, such as the K+ channel, can have open and closed forms that respond to membrane potential. In addition, an amino-terminal domain, called the inactivation domain or inactivation gate, can block the channel. This is called the ball and chain model of channel inactivation. Identify the statements that correctly describe the ball and chain model. The inactivation gate can only inactivate a channel that has closed in response to depolarization. A shorter tether or chain peptide strand attached to the inactivation domain would increase the time required to inactivate the K+ channel. A mutation causing the loss of the inactivation gate in K+ channels could result in a membrane that undergoes repolarization more slowly. After depolarization and channel opening, the inactivation gate soon occludes the open channel.arrow_forwardThe Structure of the acetylcholine receptor is shown below: C. What type of channel is the acetylcholine receptor and what activates it?arrow_forwardExplain whether the specificity of interaction will be high or low for each given situation. a. The concentration of the ligand's complex to the target receptor equates to the concentration of the ligand's complex to off-targets. b. The target receptor's total concentration is very much higher than the off-target's total concentration.arrow_forward
