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

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.

question 4: an atom with 7 protons, 6 neutrons, and 7 electrons, has an atomic mass of blank amu. (Enter a whole number) ​
Ivanshal [37]
Answer : An atom with 7 protons, 6 neutrons,
and 7 electrons has an atomic mass of 13 amu.
Explanation:
As we are give that,
Number of protons
7
Number of electrons =7
Number of neutrons =6
As we know that,
Atomic number =Number of protons = Number
of electrons =7
Atomic mass = Number of neutrons + Atomic
number
Atomic mass = 6 + 7 = 13 amu
Therefore, the atomic mass is, 13 amu

If there are 32 sister chromatids in a normal somatic cell, what is the haploid number for that cell?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The answer is 16.

Explanation:

Somatic cells include all the cells in the body except for the reproductive cells. Haploid cells are used to represent the reproductive cells which have half the chromosome as the somatic cells. So if there are 32 sister chromatids in a somatic cell, which means there are 16 chromosomes, then the haploid number for it is 16 chromatids. I hope this answer helps.
