    The Ionic mechanism and propagation of action potentials. The action potential is the result of a large‚ sudden increase in sodium permeability of the membrane. The resulting rush of sodium ions into the membrane and accumulation of positive charge on its inner surface drives the potential towards Ena. This is followed by repolarisation‚ whereby there is a large increase in the membranes permeability to potassium ions‚ hence the membrane returns to Ek. Explanation of the (ionic) mechanisms underlying

    1. a. The action potential changes the membrane potential from -70 mV (resting) to +30 mV and back again to the resting membrane potential. b. This results from a change in membrane permeability first to Na then to K due to the opening of what type of ion channels? Voltage gated channels 2. a. Where is the density of voltage-gated Na+ channels the greatest? Axon hillock b. What areas of the neuron generate signals that open these voltage-gated channels? Dendrites and the cell body c. Opening

    my understanding of Elastic potential energy. And the projectile concepts of the effect of changing potential into kinetic energy and for me to demonstrate my ability to apply elastic potential energy to a scientific investigation. What am I going to do and what will it prove: I am going to use an elastic band and release it from different tensions I will then measure how far it ‘flies’. Doing this will tell me the relationship between force‚ potential energy and kinetic energy.

    Concentration (cont.) has on Membrane permeability of Beetroot cells. Hypothesis: I predict that as detergent concentration increases‚ the solution will become less clear‚ plus mass increases. The increases in mass will indicate that the water potential of the Beetroot cell is lower than that of the surrounding sucrose solution. The Beetroot discs will become flaccid and decrease in mass if the water potential of the surrounding solution is lower than the water potential inside the beetroot cell. I

    Evidence for and against the Davson – Danielli model of the membrane structure Analysis of evidence from electron microscopy that led to the proposal of the Davson-Danielli model 1. A lighter area sandwiched in between two darker layers 2. Proteins appear dark in electron micrographs and phospholids appear light. This appearance supports the Davson-Danielli model. 3. Proteins stain darkly‚ suggesting that the dark pattern of the cytoplasm of the red blood cell is the distribution of proteins 4

    different electrode sites. The amplitude and the shape of the signals depend upon the position of the electrodes (Brown‚ 1999) (Conover‚ 1992). The SA node produces the pacemaker potential and if this reaches the threshold then an action potential is generated. There are five stages involved during cardiac action potentials‚ during these stages there is a flow of ions through

    the effect of the organic solvents on the cell membrane of the beetroot Objective: To investigate the effect of different organic solvents‚ such as alcohol and paraffin oil‚ on the cell membrane of the beetroot by using the red pigments in the beetroot as indicator. Hypothesis: Organic solvents dissolve the organic matter in the cell membrane (such as phospholipids). This destroys the cell membrane‚ and the permeability of the cell membrane is disrupted casing red pigments to leak out by
