Does typhical bacteria cell have a nuclear membrane?

No bacterial cell has a nuclear membrane. A bacteria is defined by not having any membrane-bound organelles.


The typical prokaryotic flagellum features what?

The typical prokaryotic flagellum features a long, helical filament made of flagellin proteins that allows for movement. It is anchored to the cell membrane and driven by a motor complex that rotates to propel the cell forward.


Which of the following statements concerning the permeability of a typical nerve cell membrane at rest is true?

The nerve membrane is freely permeable to potassium, although there is a Na+/K+ ATPase that pumps 3 Na+ in and 2 K+ out.The resting potential is around -60mV to -70mVThe driving force of Na+ is inwards, as is Cl- and Ca2+, while the driving force of K+ faces outwards.K+ wants to go down its concentration gradient (there is more K+ in the cell than out of the cell).Na+ wants to go down its concentration and electrical gradient (it's more negative inside the cell and there's less Na+ there).The permeability of a cell is determined by the number of channels it has, the length the channels are open, and the conductivity of each channel to a particular ion.The Nernst potential for Na+ is +65, while it is around -95 for K+.


What is the ratio of the volume of typical eukaryotic prokaryotic cells?

The volume ratio of a typical eukaryotic cell to a typical prokaryotic cell is approximately 10:1. Eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells due to their membrane-bound organelles.


What is the electrical charge inside and outside a typical cell?

Inside the cell, the electrical charge is negative due to the accumulation of negatively charged ions, such as proteins and nucleic acids. Outside the cell, the electrical charge is positive due to the concentration of positively charged ions, such as sodium and potassium ions. This creates a potential difference across the cell membrane known as the resting membrane potential.
