Do graded potentials produce an effect that spreads actively across the membrane surface?
Graded potentials do not actively propagate like action potentials; instead, they are local changes in membrane potential that occur in response to a stimulus. They can spread passively, decreasing in amplitude as they move away from the site of stimulation. The spread of a graded potential is influenced by the properties of the membrane, such as its resistance and capacitance. If a graded potential reaches a certain threshold at the axon hillock, it can trigger an action potential, which then propagates actively along the axon.

Do action potentials always have the same amplitude and the same duration?
Yes, this is due to the all or nothing law that neurons follow: "an excitable membrane either responds to a stimulus with a maximal action potential that spreads nondecrementally throughout the membrane, or it does not respond with an action potential at all." "
What is a wave of electric current that spread along a plasma membrane is called?
A wave of electric current that spreads along a plasma membrane is called an action potential. This phenomenon occurs when a neuron or muscle cell's membrane depolarizes, allowing ions to flow in and out, generating a rapid change in voltage. Action potentials are essential for transmitting signals in the nervous system and triggering muscle contractions. They propagate along the membrane in a wave-like manner, facilitating communication between cells.
What does it mean when a graded potential is called graded Why does it get this name?
Greded Is the membrane voltage change in response to a change in membrane permeability by adding or taking out gate channel. Depolarization occurs when there is a change in voltage towards a positive values b/c of opening up Na+ gate channels Hyperpolarization occurs when there is a more negative change in voltage due to opening up Cl- or K+ gate channels. It is called "graded" b/c you can open up some or many channels so the depolarization or hyperpolarization can be big or small Graded potentials start in one spot b/c of a change in permeability and then spreads to others as it travels; called local circuit current. The strength of graded potentials decreases as it spreads along the axon and eventually dies If you inject negative ions into the cell a hyperpolarization occurs If you inject positive ions into the cell a depolarization occurs If you inject a lot of positive charge the membrane depolarizes past 0 creates action potential and then comes back down' You get action potential once you pass the threshold voltage potential. Is a rapid depolarization which repolarizes
Does a virus produce sexually or asexually?
Well, its starts from the japanese eye. It then gradually develops to the anus and spreads into the lungs and develops HIV
Is poison ivy seed or seedless?
Poison ivy does not produce seeds. It spreads through underground rhizomes or by the dispersal of its berries, which contain seeds.
What is produced by germinating basidiospore?
Germinating basidiospores produce mycelium, which is the vegetative part of a fungus that consists of thread-like hyphae. This mycelium then grows and spreads to form the fungus body, typically seen as mushrooms in the case of Basidiomycota fungi.
Which part of a plant spreads out leaves so that they get lots of light?
The canopy is the part of a plant that spreads out leaves to maximize light exposure. This upper layer of leaves competes for light and plays a critical role in photosynthesis to produce energy for the plant.
When a cube of sugar is placed in water it spreads by the process of active transport true or false?
Active transport is the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient across a plasma (cell) membrane. This process generally requires the input of energy, such as ATP. A cube of sugar does not have a cell membrane because it is not a cell; therefore, the statement is false.
When was Love Spreads created?
Love Spreads was created in 1994-11.
Can you get pregnant from a marker?
No you cannot, markers do not produce sperm, but it is best to not try to get pregnant from a marker for it can give you a disease, infection, and if the ink spreads though your body, maybe even death.
What has the author Daniel Ricard written?
Daniel Ricard has written: 'Farm to retail price spreads for beef in Canada' -- subject(s): Beef, Farm produce, Marketing, Prices
Why does houses help to conserve fuels?
Because it can produce heat and warmth. It spreads all over the house and keeps the house warm. And it is very cheap and it is Non-renewable. It is not harmful as well
