Feb 16, 2014 · The membrane voltage that must be reached in an excitable cell (e.g., neuron or muscle cell) during a depolarization in order to generate an action potential. At the threshold voltage, voltage-gated channels become activated. Threshold is approximately −50 to −40 mV in most excitable cells.
Threshold concepts have been referred to as “jewels in the curriculum”: concepts that are key to competency in a discipline but not taught explicitly. In biology, researchers have proposed the idea of threshold concepts that include such topics as variation, randomness, uncertainty, and scale.
The threshold model can be enlarged to include the occurrence of multiple discrete morphs, as found in the occurrence of extra digits in guinea pigs, by supposing that there are multiple...
Aug 16, 2019 · Within biology, “biological variation within species” aligns well with characteristics of a threshold concept (Ross et al., 2010). Land et al. ( 2010 ) describe threshold concepts as fundamental concepts of a discipline that, once understood, transform a student’s perception of a whole subject and permit access to a previously ...
This makes it difficult to both learn and to teach. This book is designed as a succinct and focused resource, specifically aimed to help students grasp key threshold concepts in Biochemistry. Due to their troublesome nature, understanding threshold concepts is a cognitively demanding task.
This e-book is designed to be a relatively succinct resource for learning the key threshold concepts in biochemistry and molecular biology.
