Document Summary

Cell sipping non-specific; examples of pinocytosis rates: macrophages ingest 3% of their plasma membrane / min; fibroblasts 1% / min. Cop i on vesicles moving from golgi back to er. Copii, on vesicles moving from er to golgi. Membrane fusion is carried out by snare proteins. Glial cells aqua porin channels that water is able to move through, protein membrane surrounds channel. When membrane is only permeable to 1 ion; describes the relationship btw an ion gradient and the equilibrium potential. The membrane potential is equal to equilibrium potential for k+ If a membrane potential is slightly permeable to na+ and k+, membrane potential will be? partially depolarized. When the relative permeability of one ion is much larger than other ions we can? use nernst eq instead of goldmans". When membrane depolarizes they become more _________ charged on the cytoplasmic side. When does helix s4 moves into the up position? (opening the channel)

Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding sea anemones?
None of the answer options is correct.
Sponges—not sea anemones—possess what is considered to be the “simplest” nervous system found in animals.
Because sea anemones are “simple” organisms, these animals only possess motor neurons; sensory neurons or interneurons are never found in sea anemones.
Although sea anemones possess “net-like” nervous systems, these animals have brains located at their bases (near where they would attach to rocks).
Although sea anemones lack definitive brains, they do possess ganglia that serve a similar function to the paired ganglia of flatworms.

Low levels of calcium would not have any effect on synaptic transmission.
Low levels of calcium would cause sustained depolarization of the presynaptic cell.
Low levels of calcium would result in fewer signals sent between the pre- and postsynaptic cell.
3. Cephalization is: the
All of these choices are correct.
development of a brain within the head of an animal.
concentration of sensory organs within the head end of an animal.
development of a “head end” in an organism.

It results from voltage-gated sodium channels remaining open for long periods of time.
It results from K+ ions diffusing out of the cell.
