Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Determine the factors, which blocks ion channels.
Concept Introduction:
The cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is formed from the ATP molecule. The cAMP act as a second messenger and causes the increase in the activity of the cAMP dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A).
(b)
Interpretation:
Determine the mechanism of removal of blockage by the ion transporting proteins.
Concept Introduction:
The cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is formed from the ATP molecule. The cAMP act as a second messenger and causes the increase in the activity of the cAMP dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A).
(c)
Interpretation:
The role of cAMP in the removal of ion transporting protein.
Concept Introduction:
The cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is formed from the ATP molecule. The cAMP act as a second messenger and causes the increase in the activity of the cAMP dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A).
