The nervous system would not work if ion channels were blocked. It would be like parking your car on a hose and trying to get water out of the hose.

Which of the following molecules would be blocked by a cell membrane?

Large molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids are typically blocked by the cell membrane due to their size and complexity. Small, nonpolar molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide can easily pass through the cell membrane through simple diffusion.


If you were a protein destined to reach the plasma membrane and you were making your way through the Golgi when suddenly Golgi trafficking was blocked at the trans face what would happen to you?

What regulates passage of materials into and out of cells?

The cell membrane, or plasma membrane, regulates the passage of materials into and out of cells through selective permeability. This means that only certain substances are allowed to pass through the membrane, while others are blocked or actively transported. This selective permeability helps maintain the internal environment of the cell and allows for proper function and communication with the external environment.


What single characteristic of the semipermeable membrane used in the laboratory determines the substances that can pass through them?

The molecular size of the substances is the single characteristic that determines which substances can pass through a semipermeable membrane in the laboratory. Smaller molecules can pass through while larger molecules are blocked.


What would happen to a resting membrane potential if the sodium potassium transport pump was blocked?

During depolarization, sodium (Na) rushes into the neuron through Na channels (at the Nodes of Ranvier between the bundles of myelin "insulation"). Less Na in the extracellular fluid would mean there would be less to rush in. So, the neuron would not be depolarized as well. The resting membrane potential would be more positive on the inside.

Facebook, since it is a social website, is completely blocked in china. you may have also heard of youtube or Myspace, they are also blocked. some social sites are unblocked though, such as bebo or eBuddy.


Is the nerve blocked with anesthetic by reducing membrane nutrition?

Local anesthetics work by blocking the sodium channels on the nerve membrane, preventing the conduction of nerve signals. This process inhibits the sensation of pain by preventing the generation and propagation of action potentials along the nerve fibers. It does not directly affect membrane nutrition.

Can the fuel filter on a Chevy Blazer become completely blocked?

It most certainly can. If in doubt, replace the filter.


What type of shadow is formed when sunlight is blocked?

A darker area known as an umbra is formed when sunlight is completely blocked. If only partial blocking occurs, a lighter area called a penumbra is formed.


Why does a shadow have two regions?

If the source is larger than a single point, then there's a region in the center of the shadow where the source is completely blocked and none of it is visible, and another region around the center where only part of the source is blocked and part of it is visible.


What are the names of the two parts of the moon's shadow?

The two parts of the moon's shadow are the umbra, which is the dark central region where light is completely blocked, and the penumbra, which is the lighter outer region where only partial light is blocked.
