unevenly thickened cell wall able to change shape / bendtransport proteins / ion pumps, in plasma membrane(presence of) chloroplasts (to provide, ATP / energy)

Firstly, depolarization of the neuronal membrane occurs. This is due to a stimulus which causes voltage-gated sodium ion channels to open, allowing sodium ions to diffuse down their concentration gradient...

The Endocrine part of the Pancreas is the Islets of Langerhans which contain alpha and beta cells. These cells secrete hormones directly into the blood. The alpha cells secrete glucagon and the beta cells...

First, the blood enters through the right and left atria. The atrioventricular valves are closed, so the blood pools up inside them. Then, the sinoatrial node (SAN) sends a pulse for the atria to contract...

The nerve impulse will reach the end of the presynaptic neuron, where voltage-gated calcium channels are opened due to depolarisation. Calcium ions then diffuse into the presynaptic neuron, resulting in v...
