The neuronal membrane potential depends on different concentrations of sodium and potassium on either side of the membrane. Ionic concentration gradients are established by the action of the sodium-potassium ion pump, an enzyme that requires ATP. Without ATP, the pump will not function. As a result, the resting membrane potential will not exist and the brain will not function.

What is neuronal membrane?

The neuron and its ionic components can be treated using the ideas mentioned above.

The neuron's plasma membrane is only minimally permeable to Cl and Na+ and extremely permeable to K+. A balance between a high concentration of Na+ and a high concentration of Cl, as well as modest amounts of impermeant anions like bicarbonate, phosphate, and sulfate, is what keeps the extracellular fluid's electroneutrality. The concentration of Cl in the cytoplasm, where K+ concentration is high, is substantially lower than what is required to balance the sum of the positive charges. There, negatively charged impermeant proteins and phosphates keep the environment electroneutral.

Mandarinka [93]
F. Stone 1 is softer and experienced a greater physical reaction.

Physical reaction is when an object's appearance changes, not the identity (which would be chemical reaction). Because stone 1 is softer, it would be easier to change its physical property. Since stone 2 is harder, it's more durable and therefore harder to change.

slava [35]

If a scientist is conducting an experiment about obesity and asks a group of people to stop eating saturated fat, that group of people is called the experimental group. Thus, the correct option is A.

<h3>Define experimental group in scientific study?</h3>

A experimental group in scientific study is defined as the researcher compares at least two groups during an experiment, a control group and an experimental group.

Because they are both made up of people from the same population, they are identical in every way except for the independent variables.

The therapy is administered to the experimental group. The researcher willingly alters the independent variable's values to see how it impacts the people who are being studied. Several experimental groups are possible.

How do you think this transfer of electrons helps the lactic acid fermentation process repeat itself?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

By changing pyruvate into lactic acid with this transfer of electrons.

Explanation:

Transfer of electrons helps the lactic acid fermentation process repeat itself because the pyruvate molecule takes electron from NADH which is reduced to lactic acid so indirectly with the transfer of electrons helps the lactic acid fermentation process to repeat itself. If these electrons are not transferred from NADH to pyruvate molecules so the lactic acid is not formed.
