How is calmodulin activated? A. by binding both calcium and potassium B. by binding Ca2+ when the cytosolic concentration is greater than 500 nM C. by binding to a positively charged helix on another protein D. by binding Ca2+ only when calcium channels are open, allowing Ca2+ efflux from the cell E. None of the answers is correct.

1) Which ligand-gated ion channels does (glutamate / GABA / glycine) open? 2) How do changes in (potassium / sodium) concentration affect the resting membrane potential? 3) If (sodium / potassium / chloride) channels are locked open, the membrane potential will continue to change due to ion flow until it reaches what value? (give a numerical value)
If aquaporins were open in the ascending loop of Henle, which direction would water flow? a. into the filtrate b. out the filtrate c. equally in both directions So the answer is A but im confused as to why so can somebody explain why the answer is A
Regarding the neuromuscular junction... a. Depolarization of the presynaptic membrane directly causes voltage-gated calcium channels in the membrane to open. b. Action potentials in the sarcolemma directly cause calcium channels to open. c. Action potentials in the sarcoplasmic reticulum indirectly cause the calcium ATPase pump to function, if ATP is present. d. both a) and b) are correct, and c) is incorrect e. a), b) and c) are all correct 2) Following ATP hydrolysis by myosin, which steps occur during...
1) lon Flow (15 points): Consider a neuron (at body temperature) with a chloride concentration of 15 mM inside the neuron and 150 mM outside the neuron. Assume that the neuron has a resting membrane potential of-50mV. Which direction will the chloride ions move if all chloride channels open? Does opening of chloride channels have an excitatory or inhibitory effect on the neuron? (5 points) a) -100mV. Which direction b) Assume that the neuron has a resting membrane potential of...
3. Many neurons contain "delayed K channels". Like voltage-gated Nat channels, these voltage-gated K+ channels open in response to a rise in membrane potential and then undergo inactivation. However, opening of the voltage-gated K channels lags behind opening of the voltage-gated Na channels. a) Why does neuronal function require the voltage-gated K channels to open more slowly than the voltage-gated Na channels? b) Compared to a neuron that lacks voltage-gated K channels, what differences would you expect in the shape...
