When a neuron is activated by a stimulus, its plasma membrane will change until it reaches a membrane potential of about 40 mV.

What is special about this value
Biology

Answer: It is approximately the membrane potential at which the electrochemical gradient for Na+ is zero.

Explanation:

The charge in plasma membrane occurs with diffusion and electric fields.

For example, if there are two solutions, let's assume solution X and Solution Y are separated by a porous barrier (to diffuse in equal proportions).

The fundamental principle of diffusion states that solution from a high concentration diffuses to a lower concentration.

For instance, if the X solution contains 40 sodium ions and 40 chloride ions, the Y solution only has 30 sodium and 30 chloride ions. Due to the diffusion, these two solutions will mix and reach a steady-state.

The like charges repel, and opposite charges attract.

Answer: One of the most common Monera is Escherichia coli, also known as E. coli.  "[E. coli] is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, coliform bacterium of the genus Escherichia that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms." States wikipedia.* Signs of E. coli are stomach pains and cramps, diarrhea that may range from watery to bloody, fatigue, loss of appetite or nausea, vomiting, and low fever < 101 °F/ 38.5 °C (not all people have this specific symptom).

   E. coli comes from human and animal wastes. During precipitation, E. coli may be washed into creeks, rivers, streams, lakes, or groundwater. Another way to get it is from contaminated food, a lot like corona virus. When cattle are slaughtered and processed, E. coli bacteria in their intestines can get on the meat. And when ground beef is made, it combines meat from many different animals, increasing the risk of contamination.

What glycolysis product is transported into the mitochondria?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

A) ATP

B) NADP

C) Pryuvate

D) glucose

E) acetyl-CoA.

The correct answer is C) Pyruvate.

Explanation:

Pyruvate is a very important compound for the cell since it is a key substrate for energy production and glucose synthesis (neo-glycogenesis), that is, pyruvate is the end product of glucose breakdown in glycolysis. Before entering the mitochondria, it can be converted to lactate, through an anaerobic reaction (in the absence or under oxygen supply) of low performance in energy production, when the main pathway is interfered with. It can also be converted to the amino acid alanine. Within the mitochondria, it can be transformed, by pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), into acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), the entry point (substrate) of the Krebs cycle. In addition, by means of pyruvate carboxylase, it can be transformed into oxalacetate, which constitutes the first step in neoglycogenesis.

Which species is most likely to exhibit clumped dispersion?
Sliva [168]

Featured snippet from the web
Clumped dispersion. In a clumped dispersion, individuals are clustered in groups. A clumped dispersion may be seen in plants that drop their seeds straight to the ground—such as oak trees—or animals that live in groups—schools of fish or herds of elephants.
