What is local response?
Local responce is a small change in membrane potential caused by a subthreshold stimulus.
The increase in potential energy caused by lifting an object can be calculated by multiplying its weight by its change in height?
true
What causes the rapid change in the resting membranes potential that initiates an action potential?
In muscle cells the inward current is a sodium + calcium flow through acetycholine activated channels as well as through voltage sensitive calcium channels.
What do carrier proteins change in order to move glucose across cell membranes?
they change shape
What is the potential damage to the environment if the Tonkin snub nosed monkey were to become extinct?
None. Sad loss but no appreciable change in the environment beyond that which caused the extinction.
Does potential difference change with change in resistance?
Changing the potential difference in a circuit does not change the resistance. Rather, it changes the current.
What change in membrane potential triggers action potential?
depolarization
How do you think the potential energy will change if you change the length of the ramp?
Gravitational potential energy depends on the difference of height. If the length of the ramp is changed, but the endpoints have the same difference in height, there won't be any change in gravitational potential energy. If, on the other hand, the change is done in a way that the height does change, then gravitational potential energy will also change.
Oceanic change caused by the moon?
Oceanic change caused by moon is tide
What change in membrane potential depolarization or hyperpolarization triggers an action potential?
despolarization
What are two effects caused by a chemical change?
Two effects that are caused by a chemical change are changes from one substance into another. Another effect that can be caused by a chemical change is a change in the temperature of the surrounding system and substance, or a change in color of the substance.
What is positive change in thermodynamics?
a positive change is an increase in potential energy.
