What can happen if a cell were to get too large for the amount of DNA it has?
If a cell gets too large for the amount of DNA it has, it may struggle to effectively regulate gene expression and control cell functions. This could lead to issues with protein production, cell division, and overall cellular health. Ultimately, the cell may become dysfunctional or die.
When light is absorbed by a rod cell what happens?
When light is absorbed by a rod cell in the retina, a series of chemical reactions occur that lead to the activation of the visual pigment rhodopsin. This triggers an electrical signal that is sent to the brain via the optic nerve, where it is processed and interpreted as visual information.
When you click into a cell it gets highlighted with a dark border and it is called the ....... cell?
Active cell.
Describe how the body gets rid of cell waste?
Vacuoles merge with the cell membrane and then open
What will happen in the cell if it were to malfunction or die?
If a cell malfunctions, it may not be able to perform its normal functions, which can lead to issues like cell death or diseases. When a cell dies, it can release its contents, potentially causing inflammation or triggering an immune response. The body has mechanisms in place to remove and replace malfunctioning or dead cells to maintain proper functioning.
What is the point at which a nerve impulse is sent from one nerve cell to another?
It diffuses across a small gap called a synapse between the two nerve cells. It is passed as a neurotransmitter (in chemical sacs). They reach the end of one cell and the impulse is converted into neurotransmitters, which are released from that cell, diffuse across the gap, and land on the receptor site, where they are converted back into electrical impulses.
What happens when a nerve cell is stimulated by another nerve cell?
they go nerve to nerve till it gets to the brain first is a nerve then the dendrite then the brian
Which part of the neuron is capable of generating an action potiential?
When a neuron gets excited from a neighboring cell (from neurotransmitters) it gets 'leaky' to certain ions like sodium, potassium, calcium and chloride - and in doing so its state of electrical excitability changes. If it changes by just the right amount then special proteins called 'voltage-gated ion channels' will open allowing a huge influx of even more ions (usually sodium) causing a wave of electrical charge to flow away from the cell body down its axon to its axon terminal - where it will then release its neurotransmitters.
When the action potential gets to the end of the axon?
When the action potential reaches the end of an axon, it causes special chemical messages called neurotransmitters to be released across the space between the neurons (the synapse).
What would happen to the spinal nerves in areas of malpositioned or slipped discs?
The nerve gets pinched between the vertebrae.
What happen when the cell cycle gets out of cycle?
then eather it's mutated or will die
Does the nerve cell give us sensitivity?
In part, yes. The nerve cell is what ensures the message of an external or internal stimulus gets to the brain so we are consiously aware of that stimulus. However, in order for a nerve cell to get the message, it must receive an input from a receptor. As such, the receptors at the end of a nerve cell are the most directly responsible for our sensitivity. Some examples of the receptors are: - nociceptors - mechanoreceptors (meissners corpuscles, etc.) - prorioreceptors (muscle spindles) - chemoreceptors (taste buds)
What would happen if a cell face gets large?
i really dont know! help!! LOL
Why are Acetylcholine and Norepinephrine common neurotransmitters?
acetylcholine and norepinephrine are both excitatory neurotransmitters Acetylcholine (learning and memory) Nor-epinephrine gets you fired up (flight or flight) and also gets you focused. Drdenisep@aol.com
What would happen to the cell membrane when the cell gets bigger?
the membrane stretches and adds more material and subsance so it is able to stretch
How do cell in you're body get energy?
Cellular respiration is right. The four functions that require energy are movement, caused by muscle cells. Making proteins or enzymes and cell division caused by all or many cells. And sending nerve impulses which is caused by nerve cells.
Would a cells membrane and cell walls break down if a cell gets to large?
Cell membranes in animal cells can break if the cell gets to large because of excessive intracellular water. This process is called cytolysis. This generally does not happen in plants because plant cell walls are very strong. The cell wall can withstand the pressure of the water-engorged cell.
