p. 23. Ex. XII: Model answer

Dear Mrs Jones,

I am writing this letter to let you know about the areas of biology I am mostly interested in specializing in. These are molecular biology and genetics. I have chosen these areas because I have always been interested in the cell, this tiny living organisms, and the ways it works. I would like to know everything how its different systems interact. Also, DNA is another great mystery to me. I would like to learn how all this genetic information is stored and passed on from one generation to the next.

I realize that there are no hard lines between these two areas of study, that is, molecular biology and genetics, so I would like to know how my choice now will affect my career prospects later. What I hope to do when I graduate is work with doctors and chemists and do research in order to find cures for different diseases.

I would very much appreciate it if you could meet me during your office hours in order to discuss my options. Would Monday 17^th October at 10 am be suitable for you?

Thank you very much for your time. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Carly Browny.

p. 88. Ex. IX. During the resting potential, the voltage-gated sodium and potassium ion channels are closed. When a stimulus is applied, sodium ion channels open rapidly, sodium ions move in, and the inside becomes more positive. If the stimulus reaches the threshold level, an action potential occurs. When the action potential reaches its peak, the sodium ion channels close slowly and potassium ion channels open slowly. Sodium ions stop moving into the cell but potassium ions diffuse more rapidly out. These changes cause the potential difference to drop. When the membrane returns to its resting potential, potassium ion channels close, but because they do this slowly, the potential dips below the resting level. Finally, when the potassium ion channels are closed, the membrane returns to its resting condition.
