1. Indicate whether the following statements are true or false. If a statement is false, briefly explain why.
a. Muscle contraction occurs when cytosolic calcium levels rise due to the opening of calcium channels in the muscle cell membrane.
b. The transverse tubules in muscle cells are an extension of plasma membrane, with which they are continuous.
1.a. Muscle contraction occurs when cytosolic calcium levels rise due to the opening of calcium channels in the muscle cell membrane. False Because no doubt that it occurs due to increase in calcium levels which come from the opening in membrane of sarcoplasmic reticulum ( endoplasmic reticulum of muscle cells which is the store house of calcium ions) not due to opening of muscle cell membrane.
b. The transverse tubules in muscle cells are an extension of plasma membrane, with which they are continuous. True As Transverse tubules (T-tubules) are extensions of the cell membrane or plasma membrane that penetrate into the center of skeletal and cardiac muscle cells.
1. Indicate whether the following statements are true or false. If a statement is false, briefly...
1. True -False. If a statement is True, place a T to the left of it. If a statement is False, place an F to the left of it. Thin filaments in smooth muscles attach to Z discs. The majority of ventricular filling occurs during the period of atrial contraction known as the period of rapid filling. Closure of the atrioventricular valves occurs at the end of diastole/beginning of systole. Tetanus in skeletal muscles is the result of increasing the...
Which of the following statements about skeletal muscle contraction is false? During muscle contraction, the Z discs move closer together as the myosin heads move toward the plus ends of the actin filaments. The changes in voltage across the plasma membrane that occur when a muscle cell receives a signal from the nervous system causes Ca2+ to flow into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, triggering a muscle contraction. An action potential in the muscle cell plasma membrane leads to voltage-gated calcium channels...
Indicate whether each of the following statements (a-e) is TRUE or FALSE. If you think a statement is FALSE, explain why. a. TRUE / FALSE Graft rejection is mediated by pre-existing host T cell effectors and antibodies specific for antigens on the grafted tissue. b. TRUE / FALSE Allogeneic grafts between individuals with identical HLA genes will be accepted. c. TRUE / FALSE Your parents are generally going to be your best source of tissues if you need a transplant. d. TRUE / FALSE Graft rejection only occurs when...
8. During ventricular systole, the semilunar valves open before the atrioventricular valves a. True b. False 9. Sequence. Place the following events in excitation-contraction coupling in the correct sequence. Action potential produced in muscle cell Action potentials open voltage-gated Ca* channels Na diffuses into muscle cell, producing depolarizing stimulus Ca* release channels in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) open Ca²+ diffuses out into sarcoplasm ACh binds to nicotinic ACh receptor, opening ligand gated channels Action potentials conducted along transverse tubules 3 Ca2+...
True or False: The striations in skeletal muscle are formed by the arrangement of thick and thin filaments. 2. True or False: In skeletal muscle cells, the sarcoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the sarcolemma. 3. The interval between two Z lines is called a ________________. 4. At a neuromuscular junction, the space between the plasma membrane of the synaptic terminal and the motor end plate is the __________________. 5. An action potential (electric impulse) is transferred from a...
Requirement 1. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. For each false statement, explain why it is false. Use Tor F to indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. Change each false statement into one that is true. 1. A large cash balance is the best evidence of previous profitable operations. 2. Accounts receivable should be classified as a liability. 3. Machinery used in the business should be recorded at replacement cost....
8. Indicate whether the following lead to Depolarization OR Hyperpolarization (1) Opening of K+ channels on the post-synaptic membrane. (2) Opening of Cl- channels on the post-synaptic membrane. (3) Opening of Na+ channels on the post-synaptic membrane. 9. Indicate whether the following are Graded OR All-or-None responses. (1) Local potential (2) Action potential (3) EPSP (4) IPSP (5) End Plate Potential 10. True or False: Temporal summation of IPSPs increases the chance of having an action potential.
Determine whether the following statements are true or false. If the statement is false, then explain why the statement is false or rewrite the statement so that it is true. A Type I error in a hypothesis test occurs when we fail to reject the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is actually false. A Type II error occurs when we reject the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is actually true.
True/False 0 Indicate whether the statement is true or false. i) Explain your choice in one or to sentences.(6 points) 1. Animals are eukaryotic but plants are prokaryotic. 2. If an organism is multicellular, it is an indication that it is also eukaryotic. 3. In the cell fractionation from the buccal mucosal cells, chloroplasts will precipitate in the same fraction as the mitochondria (This is a trick question, read carefully.)
9) Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. If the statement is false, rewrite the underlined portion to make it true. (2 points each) a) A change in primary structure always results in a change in tertiary structure. b) The largest force governing protein structure is the hydrophobic effect. c) Protein folding begins with the formation of tertiary structure. d) A heterodimer exhibits quaternary structure; a homodimer does not.
