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.

AURORKA [14]

If the comet were to strike the planet, the impact energy would be about 300 times that of the asteroid collision that was thought to have caused the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction that killed the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago.

Need help on this plz help!!
nydimaria [60]

Tin, because it has five energy levels with four electrons in the fifth level .

Explanation:

Tin has an electronic configuration as

1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,...........4d10, 5s2,5p2

They have four valence electrons in their outer shell

Among the four diagrams given Tin is least reactive because the atomic radius of tin is largest among all four options. Due to large atomic radius electronegativity decreases and hence Tin is the least reactive element among Neon, Chlorine, gallium and tin.

The electronegativity of an element is its tendency to complete its octet by attracting electrons towards itself. Also tin is at the lowest place in the periodic table among all the four mentioned elements, its ionization energy is also low hence less electronegative and least reactive.

Answer:

Explanation:

A virus is a nucleoprotein and the genetic material is infectious. Speaking in strictly general terms, viruses infecting plants have single-stranded RNA. On the other hand, viruses that infect animals have either single or double-stranded RNA or they might have double-stranded DNA.
