A graded potential in physiology‚ is described as local changes in membrane potential that occur in varying grades or degrees of magnitude or strength. When compared to graded potential‚ an action potential is described as brief‚ rapid‚ large (100mV) changes in membrane potential during which the potential actually reverses so that the inside of the excitable cell transiently becomes more positive than the outside. As with a graded potential‚ an action potential involves only a small portion of

which cell has the larger resting membrane potential? Explain. If the permeability to K is higher in A than in B‚ then the resting membrane potential (rmp) will be closer to the equilibrium potential in cell A‚ which means the rmp will be more negative in cell A than in cell B; or in other words‚ the potential difference will be LARGER in cell A. 2. Predict the effect of a reduced extracellular concentration of Na+ on the magnitude of the action potential in an electrically excitable cell. If there

What are some consequences of the Columbian Exchange? The Columbian exchange was a movement that changed the Americas permanently. The Americas were inhabited by the Indians which lived in tribes. When Conquistadores such as Cristobal Colon arrived they brought in much more than just people. Food‚ animals‚ diseases and new customs changed America. First of all the Native American population decreased because of slavery and illnesses a ninety percent. This was a huge change in the population

obstacles to my potential strategy are worth overcoming. Since the brand new policy is to add extra taxes on smoking and fining the smoking companies for their actions‚ then one is able to make sure that people comply or go out of business. A way to overcome the challenges is to have someone from each company represented in Congress (Kottke‚ RN‚ GH‚ & ML.‚ 1988). This may mean making sure that there is someone in government that is passionate about this issue‚ and willing to do whatever it takes

Nature of Justice Should Homosexuality be legal? Australia is one of the last English speaking countries to embrace marriage equality. Personally I think that giving Gay couples the right to marry will make Australia a more tolerant‚ open and welcoming place to live. They’re just normal people who pay their taxes‚ help the community‚ fight in wars; however‚ they’re not given equal rights. Homosexuals are held at a disadvantage solely of their sexual orientation; they should have exactly the same
