What else can I help you with?
What is FALSE regarding the membrane potential?
Both potassium and sodium ions can "leak" through the cell membrane due to diffusion.
Ion channel that are always open are called?
Ion channels that are always open are called leak channels. They allow a continuous flow of ions across the cell membrane, helping to maintain the resting membrane potential of the cell.
Would both plant and animal cells have the same effect if the cell membrane burst?
yes it would because........ nothing is different about the function and structure of the cell membrane so in both cells the conditions of the cell membrane exploding will still be the same for both cell types (it will leak by therefore killing it)
When does betacyanin diffuse out of a cell?
betacyanin is actually encased in a membrane-bound vacuole which is encased inside the beet cell itself, so im not sure if it actually "diffuses" out but if there is an environmental change,like change in temp., pH change, salt concentration change, etc., the beet cell membrane can be damaged and the betacyanin would then leak out
What will happen if the plasma membrane ruptures?
The cell will die. The cell membrane/plasma membrane is a semipermeable lipid bilayer common to all living cells. It contains a variety of biological molecules, primarily proteins and lipids, which are involved in many cellular processes, and also serves as the attachment point for both the intracellular cytoskeleton and, if present, the cell wall. If it ruptures all cell organelles will leak out due to the difference of osmotic pressure and will result in the eath of the cell.
Do punctured veins leak fluid?
Yes, punctured veins leak blood.
What are leak channels and how do they contribute to the resting membrane potential of a cell?
Leak channels are ion channels in the cell membrane that allow ions to passively leak in and out of the cell. They contribute to the resting membrane potential by helping maintain the negative charge inside the cell at rest. This helps establish the electrical gradient necessary for cell function.
Will a tubeless tire get punctured?
A tubeless tire can get punctured but air will leak slowly.
What is a sodium ion leak channel?
A sodium ion leak channel is a protein channel in the cell membrane that allows sodium ions to leak into or out of the cell. This helps to maintain the resting membrane potential of the cell by balancing the movement of ions across the membrane. Sodium ion leak channels are important for regulating the excitability of neurons and muscle cells.
Why dont proteins leak out of the cell?
The plasma membrane prevents that from happening.
How do leak ion channels contribute to the resting membrane potential of a cell?
Leak ion channels help maintain the resting membrane potential of a cell by allowing ions to passively move across the cell membrane, balancing the positive and negative charges inside and outside the cell. This helps establish the electrical gradient necessary for cell function.
What is FALSE regarding the membrane potential?
Both potassium and sodium ions can "leak" through the cell membrane due to diffusion.
Is a fire extinguisher a hand grenade?
No. If it is punctured, it will leak, not explode.
What would happen to a human cell if they had no membrane?
Its contents would leak all over and breakdown and therefore it would not be a cell.
Where are the leak channels located on a neuron and how do they contribute to the resting membrane potential?
Leak channels are located on the cell membrane of a neuron. These channels allow ions, such as potassium and sodium, to passively move in and out of the cell. This movement of ions helps to establish and maintain the resting membrane potential of the neuron, which is essential for its normal functioning.
Ion channel that are always open are called?
Ion channels that are always open are called leak channels. They allow a continuous flow of ions across the cell membrane, helping to maintain the resting membrane potential of the cell.
What does a cell membrane do for other cell?
the cell membrane prevents the nucleus cytoplasm and ...etc not to leak out of the cell .so it is a wall that keeps every thing inside the cell.EX:lets say its like a water balloon that keeps the water inside the balloon.
