... studies addressing the relationship between temperature and any of the following: 1) membrane permeability and information flow (lipid assembly, channels, pumps, receptors) 2) diffusion rate (interaction with molecule size and shape) 3) protein-protein interactions (again, affected also by shape/bi-stability) ...

... cells. Once the insulin binds to this receptor, it initiates a phosphorylating enzymatic cascade system in which the cell then can open the gated channels and let more than the normal passage of glucose into the cells. Storage enzymes are also participating in this particular cascade system, in ...

... is sensetive to higher frequencies. the sound from a chainsaw is more complex and usually shakes the entire membrane, i believe opening all the channels for reception as i recall the sense of hearing working (not that I have anything against the sound a chainsaw makes). I would think that the ...

... continuous firing of the postsynaptic neuron. Postsynaptic neuron sometimes binds the neurotransmitter at places other than the regular ionic channels causing impulse conduction. This is called indirect synaptic tranmissions. It is slower but lasts longer. Your second question is simple: Its ...
