Axons can transmit outgoing messages along its membrane via:

The figure below is the topology of an ion channel that is mostly associated with____?

The most abundant neurons  in our body are

In neurons, dynein is used by which transport mechanism?

Please refer to the scenario above. The ion that is moving is a positive ion with a charge of +2. This is a hypothetical neuron. Which of the membrane potentials BEST characterizes this neuron at rest ( answer should be in capital letters only and no period)  

You are given an unknown alien axon for research with somewhat similar action potential mechanism as mammalian neurons. You have found the following concentration of ions: Na+ inside = 40 Mm Na+ outside = 4000 Mm Threshold= -20 mV Resting Membrane Potential -40 mV What would most LIKELY be the membrane potential at the peak (Or overshoot) for this alien axon among these set of potential values? Choose the best answer.

Most neurons of all organisms tend to have more __________________ in the inside than the outside of the cell.
