Ion

is a blocker of voltage gated sodium channels of the excitable tissues like nerves and muscles. It prevents movement of sodium ions through these channels which affect action potential generation in nerves which is why Dr. Westwood experienced numbness after eating the puffer fish. Tetrodotoxin affects all excitable tissues, nerves and muscle, by binding to the sodium ion channels and preventing sodium to get into the cell. This will affect conductivity of nerve and prevent action potential from…

4.0 Results and Discussion Before the strontium quantification of the solutions resulted from the ion exchange experiments, it was necessary to investigate what is the range where strontium absorbs radiation linearly and what is the detection limit. The graphs below show the absorbance (atomic absorption) in function of the strontium concentration and it can clearly be seen in figure 2 that at concentrations above 10 ppm the samples start to present non-linear absorption. Therefore, all the…

Kate Byrne DT299/4 CHEM 4128 Applied Physical & Analytical Chemistry Assignment Liquid Chromatography High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Hyphenated Techniques The term “hyphenated technique” was introduced by Hirschfeld in 1980. It refers to the combination of a chromatographic separation technique and a spectroscopic detection technique to form a new, more efficent instrument. The technique which will be discussed in this case is LC-MS. The aim of combining both techniques is to purify and…

1. In Ion, Ion claims that his skill at reciting and explaining Homer's Iliad and Odyssey makes him an expert in every field on which Homer touches. What does Socrates think of this? Socrates thinks that Ion does not become an expert in every field on which Homer touches, simply by reciting and explaining Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. This is because of three main reasons. First, Socrates reasons that Ion does not gain any skill, wisdom, or knowledge through reciting and explaining all Homer’ work.…

potential, between the inside and outside of the neuron there is an ion displacement. The inside of the neuron is negative in comparison to the outside. The outside of the cell has a positive charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine, while potassium, positively charged, is more heavily charged inside the cell. This difference in the charge of sodium, chloride, and potassium maintains the dynamic equilibrium in the neuron. The ions attempt to keep equilibrium of the inside and outside of…

contain various concentrations of silver ions, silver nanoparticles, and silver particles suspended in solution. Table 6 indicates the silver form concentration of silver nanoparticles and silver ions available in some of the available silver…

about solutions and how some can conduct electricity better than others. The passage also talks about ions. According to the article ions are atoms or small groups of atoms that have an electrical charge. If a solution has more ions than the solution can conduct electricity better than a solution that contains less ions. Pure water contains few ions, but if it is mixed with salt or other high ion…

the membrane. In order to have an action potential, ion channels have to be present and available in the cell membrane, and caused by a stimulus, let explain the functions. When there is no action potential, the membrane ions of K+ (potassium) and Na+ (sodium) probability to open are low, the ion channels are close. To reach threshold, the Na+ channels become more permeable therefore open and Na+ flows into the cell membrane. The influx of Na+ ions causes a depolarization in the cell. If the…

everything the cell needs to work. Through them, we discovered everything the cell needs to work: channels, gates, and fuses. The first aqueduct was discovered in 1990. Before that, people knew that the cell had a selective filter that would not allow the ions to pass through the cell membrane, and that it involved a type of protein and that the water would have to pass by it could maintain continuous pressure . His research began around the 1980s when he studied membrane proteins from red blood…
