- A CA1 cell (Cell C) receives excitatory input from two CA3 cells (Cells A and B). You study the postsynaptic membrane voltage in cell C for a period of 10 minutes. At time zero, you stimulate cell B once by itself at low intensity. At 1 minute, you stimulate Cell A at high frequency and high-intensity for one minute (i.e., the cell is stimulated from time = 1 minute until time = 2 minute), and during this period you stimulate Cell B once, at 1.75 minutes, at low intensity.
What response do you expect to see in Cell C when Cell B is stimulated again once, at 10 minutes, at low intensity (Cell A is silent at this time)?
- Same response as seen when Cell B is stimulated at time zero
- Smaller response than seen when B is stimulated at time zero
- Larger response than seen when Cell B is stimulated at time zero

An unstimulated mammary epithelial cell at steady state has approximately 10^5 EGFR molecules on its surface. Using radiolabeled EGF, you calculate a basal internalization rate of 0.01 min-1 for EGFR on unstimulated cells. a) Assuming all of the internalized receptors are degraded, how many receptor molecules does the cell synthesize per minute? b) When mammary epithelial cells are exposed to saturating concentrations of EGF (so that all receptors are bound), the rate of internalization increases by 5-fold. Once the stimulated...

Time it takes for a particular type of biological cell to divide into two cells is believed to follow a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 30.2 minutes. In a lab study of 22 such cells, the average time to divide was 28.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. Does the study provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean division time for such cells is less than 30.2 minutes? Round to 3 decimal places if necessary. You...

2. Long-term Potentiation is a process that strengthens the transmission of a single synapse in a circuit. This is achieved when pre-synaptic cells and post-synaptic cells fire action potentials at the same time. Usually multiple pre-synaptic cells synapse onto one post-synaptic cell, increasing the probability of inducing an action potential in the post- synaptic cell. You may need to refer to your textbooks or online resources for this question, as we do not cover this in explicit detail in class....
