The nervous system runs off of electrical current generated through ion concentration exchange across the neuron membrane. neurons remain in a resting potential state until stimulated by some form of energy. then the stimulation may generate an action potential "spike" within the cell, if the stimulus is strong enough. in no more than four sentences, tell and describe the 3 components of an action potential within neuron.

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?
