Why can the cell membrane not be a completely solid structure?
A membrane has to be flexible to let things into a cell. A flexible membrane gives the cell form flexibility and lets it perform endocytosis and phagocytosis. Besides, the membrane asorbs nutrients and water easier.
Which organelle does the pesticide target?
It all depends on the pesticide which organelle is targeted. Organophosphates inhibit AChE. This is made by protein synthesis and excreted by the cell as a neurotransmitter. The organelle involved is the ribosome as it is not making AChE.Aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides that inhibit acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) which inhibits the beginning of the Krebs Cycle and so prevents the function of the mitochondria.Miprophos-methyl, another pesticide is a mitotic tubuleinhibitor. It blocks cell division.
What antibiotics inhibit DNA synthesis?
penicillin
What antibiotics inhibit RNA synthesis?
a big banana
Why use isopropyl alcohol to inhibit bacterial growth?
Isopropyl alcohol is used to inhibit bacterial growth because it acts as a disinfectant. This kills the bacteria and prevent them from multiplying.
What are the molecules which stimulate or inhibit cell division are referred to as?
The molecules which stimulate or inhibit cell division are referred to as cytokinins. These are classified as plant growth substances commonly known as phytohormones.
How can neurotransmitters inhibit or excite a postsynaptic neurons?
Inhibit it by hyper polarizing the membrane or excite it by bringing the voltage closer to the threshold potential.
Does the cell cycle have checkpoints that act to inhibit uncontrolled cell division?
Yes they do
What do cell membrane do that cell walls can't do?
Cell membrane is selectively permeable membrane, therefore it allows selective molecules to be taken in by the cell and excludes others. Whereas cell wall is permeable in nature and does not inhibit the intake of many molecules what the cell membrane does.
Is Glyburide the same as metformin?
As far as I know it is not. Metformin acts to inhibit gluconeogeensis whilst this drug acts the inhibit the potassium ATPase to help depolarize the membrane and release insulin from beta cells of the pancreas hope this helps
Why is the presence of ergosterol rather than cholesterol an important difference between fungal cells and your own?
Ergosterol, a cell membrane sterol, is found in the cell membrane of fungi, whereas the predominant sterol of bacteria and human cells is cholesterol. Anti fungal medications can bind to the ergosterol and create holes in the membrane allowing lysis of the cell or a secondary drug can be used to inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis. Some other drugs can inhibit ergosterol synthesis and also disrupt the cell membrane.
How do calcium channel blocking agents work?
Inhibit the movement of ionic calcium across the cell membrane. This reduces the force of contraction of heart muscles and arteries.
Why can the cell membrane not be a completely solid structure?
A membrane has to be flexible to let things into a cell. A flexible membrane gives the cell form flexibility and lets it perform endocytosis and phagocytosis. Besides, the membrane asorbs nutrients and water easier.
How can I inhibit Ergosterol naturally to stop fungus growth?
Ergosterol is a sterol present in fungal cell membrane. Inhibitors such as Allylamines (Amorolfin,Butenafine,Naftifine,Terbinafine), Azole antifungal drugs (except for abafungin) inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis.Effective drug Natamycin binds directly to ergosterol to limit fungal growth.
Does atropine inhibit or enhance the effects of acetylcholine?
inhibit
What is the past tense of inhibit?
The past tense of inhibit is inhibited.
What is mean INHIBIT?
To inhibit is to "prevent or stop something from happening".
