Action potential to occur in a neuron. This will be achieved by firstly‚ defining the purpose of neurons in the body along with a description of the components within a neuron and how they enable information to be passed through the cell membrane and on to other neurons. Secondly‚ the resting potential of a neuron will be explored with relation to the concept of selective permeability and the purpose of the Sodium - Potassium pump. Thirdly‚ the molecular basis of the Action Potential will be

Investigation of Water Potential in a Root Vegetable Introduction Background Information: Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential‚ down a water potential gradient through a semi-permeable membrane. If a plant cell‚ or an item with similar properties is put in water‚ three different things can happen: • If the surrounding area has a higher water potential‚ the cell will increase in mass through osmosis. The cell will

When doing this individually I found that there were 30 cells in the process of mitosis in the zone of cell division and only 9 in the area of cell elongation. The number of cells in mitosis counted in each section of the onion root proves that there were more cells in mitosis in the zone of cell division than the zone of cell elongation. This proves the point that there is more mitosis in the zone of cell division than the other areas of the

Sadly‚ our post-apocalyptic wanderer is in for a very disappointing evening. He or she will soon discover that attempting to power an iPod with a Gatorade-soaked onion doesn’t work. Many Internet users today have made the same discovery after viewing the video in question‚ produced by the Web site HouseholdHacker.com. First‚ let’s examine the idea of powering any electronic device with a fruit or vegetable. The concept is believable because you can create a battery with a few potatoes. This

On October 22‚ 1879‚ the lives of everyone around the world would be forever changed. Before the invention of the light bulb‚ people everywhere would have to resort to using candles or lanterns. Thomas Edison was not the first to invent the electric lightbulb but was‚ in fact‚ the first person to invent the first practical incandescent light. Several other people before Edison attempted a shot at making this invention but shortly after failed. Such other inventions had faults such as (extremely)

°Thioridazine hydrochloride‚USP. Is a member of the piperizine subgroup of the phenothiazines. Thioridazine occurs as a white or slightly yellow‚ crystalline or micronized powder‚ which is odourless or has a faint odor and is practically insoluble in water and freely soluble in dehydrated alcohol. The drug has sedative and hypotensive activity in common with chlorpromazine and less antiemetic activity. thioridazine is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenic patients who fail to respond

oxidation-reduction reactions. The first part of the experiment measures the standard electrode potentials of five various half cells against the Cu2+(1M)|Cu half cell. The last three half cells are prepared through electrolysis. The electrode potentials of all reactions are positive which means that they are spontaneous. There is a significant percent difference from the theoretical and the experimental standard electrode potentials. The sources of error are incorrect solution preparation and contaminated materials
