Are voltage gated sodium channels, and voltage gated potassium channels considered secondary active transporters? If not then what are they called, and could you please explain what a secondary active transporter is and include a common example of one?

In Data and Graphing 7, you saw how population growth can be limited by both predation and carrying capacity. Imagine that an invasive species of snail arrives on an island. On this island, it has no natural predators. The snail feeds on an uncommon plant, which grows in only a few places on the island.

1. Will the snail experience exponential or logistic growth in the short term?

2. Once the snail has reached all patches of suitable habitat on the island, will it experience logistic or exponential growth in the long term?

Explain your answers.

Assignment 4: Documented Essay (Arguing to Mediate) (1200 words plus a Works Cited page)

''SHOULD ATHLETES USE STEROIDS IN BASEBALL"

The main purpose of essays that argue to mediate is to help readers understand a disagreement over an issue and then offer a solution that appeals to all parties of the controversy. Your goal, therefore, will be to present in an intelligible and interesting manner the main arguments of the opposing sides of an issue and then mediate between them. The essay should: 1-have a clearly defined and explained issue; 2-be organized in an interesting and easy-to-follow manner; 3-include an appropriate amount of information; 4-be fair to both sides in representing their arguments; 5-be documented according to MLA rules.

b. What are the immune cells of the CNS and their functions? c. What branch of the immune system is absent from the healthy CNS?

20) A diseased cell has an intracellular calcium concentration of 1 mM. The extracellular solution has a normal amount of calcium. The mitochondria has its normal level of internal calcium. If many calcium channels were opened in a mitochondria were opened up, what would the voltage of the interior of the mitochondria likely be compared to the cytoplasm of the cell?

a) -90mV

b) -60mV

c) -30mV

d) 0mV

e) +30mV

22) A nerve cell with normal levels of intracellular calcium is treated with intracellular IP3, which opens calcium channels in the endoplasmic reticulum. What would the transmembrane voltage across the plasma membrane of the cell (that is, the voltage of the cytoplasm relative to the extracellular solution bathing the cell) if this occurs and calcium has no other effects on the cell?

a) -90 mV

b) -60 mV

c) -30 mV

d) 0mV

e) +30mV

30) A molecular biologist replaces all normal leak channels with a type of leak channel that is permeable to calcium. What would the resting voltage of this cell likely be?

a) -90mV

b) -60 mV

c) 0 mV

d) +60 mV

e) +90 mv

40) A molecular biologist eliminates all normal leak channels and blocks all other voltage-gated conductances in a cell. She then puts in two new channels, which are both normally open and not affected by voltage. One is permeable only to potassium and the other is open only to sodium. If there is 10 mM Na inside and 100 mM Na outside and 10 mM K outside and 100 mM K inside, what will the resting membrane voltage of the cell be?

a) 0mV

b) -60mV

c) +60mV

d) -120 mV

e) +120 mV
