WhatConversion of a stimulus into a generator potential is?
Receptor potential, a type of graded potential, is the transmembrane potential difference of a sensory receptor. A receptor potential is often produced by sensory transduction. It is generally a depolarizing event resulting from inward current flow. The influx of current will often bring the membrane potential of the sensory receptor towards the threshold for triggering an action potential. A receptor potential is a form of graded potential, as is a generator potential. It arises when the receptors of a stimulus are separate cells. An example of this is in a taste bud, where taste is converted into an electrical signal sent to the brain. When stimulated the taste bud triggers the release of neurotransmitter through exocytosis of synaptic vesicles from the presynaptic membrane. The neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the synaptic cleft to the postsynaptic membrane. A postsynaptic potential is then produced in the first order neuron, and if the stimulus is strong enough to reach threshold this may generate an action potential which may propagate along the axon into the central nervous system
Which form of endocytosis involves a receptor?
which form(s) of endocytosis involves a receptor
Is chemical energy kinetic energy or potential energy?
It is a form of potential energy.
How does noradrenaline bind to the beta receptors?
Noradrenaline has an amine group with a positive charge as well as two OH groups attached to its benzene ring. The amine group can form an ionic bond with the COOH group with aspartic acid residues in the receptor. Meanwhile, the OH groups can form hydrogen bonds with the OH groups of the serine residues in the receptor. These bonds will lead to noradrenaline binding with the beta receptor.
Is solar energy potential energy?
yes sunlight is a form of potential energy
When a sensory neuron is excited by some form of energy the resulting graded potential is called?
receptor or generator potential

Is a postsynaptic potential a graded potential that is the result if a neurotransmitter released into the synapse between two neurons?
Yes it is true that graded potential can be called postsynaptic potentials. When a sensory neuron is excited by some form of energy, the resulting graded potential is called generator potential.
How do hormones establish selectivity?
Hormones are ligands that bond to cells and carry a specific receptor. The ligand bonds its receptor to form a complex that acquires a purpose. The ligand triggers a change in the receptor, which activates a potential biological function. Cells that do not exhibit the receptor never receive the signal.
Which form of endocytosis involves a receptor?
which form(s) of endocytosis involves a receptor
What form of energy come into the receptor of taste?
Farts
What is the importance of drug receptor?
The Importance of Drug receptor is when we add Drug + Receptor we form this Pharmaceutical - Response which causes the drug to stay or metabolize in a finite or fix period of time which causes to avoid or lower the adverse effect of the drug. DRUG + RECEPTOR > DRUG - RECEPTOR COMPLEX | PHARMA RESPONSE
Do Person-number endings give subject to a Spanish verb form?
Yes, they do.
What includes phagocytosis pinocytosis and a receptor mediated form?
Pincotyosis brings only water into the cell, but receptor-mediated endocytosis brings in other molecules as well
What form of energy is fresh vegetables?
Potential energy :)
When to use -er -or -ar endings?
Use -er endings for verbs that indicate the actor performing the action (e.g., driver, teacher), -or endings for nouns indicating the doer of an action or the person in a position (e.g., director, professor), and -ar endings for verbs in the infinitive form in Spanish.
Is chemical energy kinetic energy or potential energy?
It is a form of potential energy.
