B. smaller in magnitude
C.more frequent
D. less frequent

13. Graded potentials:

B. always hyperpolarize the cell
C. are always identical
D. can be added together

14. Nodes of Ranvier are important because they are

True/False

16. Ligands travel through ion channels to induce a cellular response.

17. Paracrine signals travel through the bloodstream to act on nearby cells

18. Hydrophilic cell molecules utilize intracellular receptors to deliver their message to the cell.

19. In living human cells, there is a higher concentration of potassium in intracellular fluid than in extracellular fluid.

20. Sodium can pass through the cell membrane only by means of the sodium/potassium pump

Explanation / Answer

Request: since I've taken the time to answer so many questions bundled into one post, would you please go back and give me a fair rating for yesterday's 2 responses? Thanks : )
