Question
Chapter 14, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason due to which calcium ion diffuses more slowly thancAMP needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The molecular environment of cell is highly selective. Only selective molecule can enter and go out of the cell depending upon cell need. The passage of is guarded by plasma membrane and proteins associated with it.

Frog poison. Batrachotoxin (BTX) is a steroidal alkaloid from the skin
of Phyllobates terribilis, a poisonous Colombian frog (the source of
the poison used on blowgun darts). In the presence of BTX, Na+Na*
channels in an excised patch stay persistently open when the
membrane is depolarized. They close when the membrane is
repolarized. Which transition is blocked by BTX?
Only a few. Why do only a small number of sodium ions need to flow
through the Na+Na* channel to change the membrane potential
significantly?
No free lunch. Explain why maintaining a high concentration of CO2
CO2 in the bundle-sheath cells of C4C4 plants is an example of active
transport. How much ATP is required per CO2CO2 to maintain a high
concentration of CO2CO2 in the bundle-sheath cells of C4C4 plants?

THe graph relating to the information is included below. The above figures show the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of various concentration of profilin (Pfn). In the top figure, flourescence intensity is a measure of total actin that has been polymerized, and this is plotted versus time in seconds. The shade of blue of the lines in the top figure correspond to the shaded blue bars representing various concentrations of profilin in the lower figure. The lower graph shows the initial rates of polymerization of actin plotted again concentration. Which of the following is true: Question 21 options: profilin in a molecular motor profilin is a promoter of actin polymerization profilin replaced G-actin in an F-actin strand and breaks the filament profilin is an inhibitor of actin polymerization profilin binds to G-actin, preventing it from polymerizingarrow_forwardTransport.

Neurotransmitters are packaged by the cell into small, membrane- bound sacs called vesicles. Upon receiving a chemical signal, the vesicles move towards the cell membrane and fuse with it, releasing the enclosed neurotransmitters from the terminal end of the nerve cell.
