Ans.

The Che proteins (chemotaxis proteins) are cytoplasmic proteins that play an important role in signal transduction pathways between the repellent or attractant and flagellar motor switch of a bacterium. Bacterial cell membranes contain different chemoreceptors for different attractants and repellents.

When a repellent or attractant binds with a chemoreceptor, stimulation of signal-transduction pathway occurs. It sends a signal to the cytoplasmic domain of receptor, which interacts with Che proteins, present at cytoplasm. The rate of auto-phosphorylation decreases when an attractant binds with receptor, while the rate of auto-phosphorylation increases when an attractant binds with receptor.

Thus, 'the attractant enhances smooth swimming and counterclockwise rotation towards the chemical source, which repellent enhances tumbling clockwise rotation away from a chemical source.'

When voltage-gated sodium ion channels are inactivated, the neuron is _________________. in the absolute refractory period below

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

depolarizing

Explanation:

According to my research on studies by different medical professionals, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the neuron is depolarizing. This is what happens when voltage-gated sodium ion channels are inactivated causing an increas in the neuron's membrane conductance for sodium ions.

Select the appropriate shape for the given volume formula. V = pi r squared h. V = four-thirds pi r cubed. V = l w h. V = one-th

devlian [24]

Explanation:

Volume of a cylinder = $\pi$ r² h

Volume of a sphere = $\frac{4}{3}$ $\pi$ r³

Volume of cone = $\frac{1}{3}$ $\pi$ r² h

Volume of cuboid = l w h

Where:

r is the radius of the body measured

h is the height

l is the length

w is the width

The volume of a body is the space it occupies and it refers to its size.

it is measured in cubic meters or cubic centimeters.

In classical conditioning the ns becomes a ________ after it reliably signals the impending occurrence of the ________.

nignag [31]

The answer is c.CS; US.

In classical conditioning, a new behaviour is learned via association. The stage before conditioning involves: 1. unconditioned stimulus (US) which produces an unconditioned response, and 2. neutral stimulus (NS) which has no effect on a person and produce a response only when paired with unconditioned stimulus. During conditioning, neutral stimulus (NS) and unconditioned stimulus (US) pair and neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS). In other words, the ns becomes a CS after it reliably signals the impending occurrence of the US.
