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.

Answer:

The human body is able to synthesize them:  proteins, fats

Contains nitrogen in the amine group : proteins

Made according to instructions from DNA: proteins

Explanation:

The cells of the human body synthesize proteins from the transcription and translation processes.

Fats and carbohidrates are ingested in the diet and metabolized by the body. However some types of fat such as cholesterol is synthesized by the human body. Same as phospholipids that are part of the membranes.

Proteins are formed by hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon. Amino acids are characterized  for owning a carboxyl group (- COOH) and an amino group (-NH2)

Humans are different from each other in many ways, including in their sizes, shapes, skin color, facial features, and handedness
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) Humans from different locations can donate blood and organs to one another.</em>

Explanation:

Organisms belonging to the same species can interbreed and produce fertile offsprings. As humans all around the world can interbreed and produce fertile embryo hence all human beings belong to the same species. Also, the organs and blood of organisms from the same species can be transferred depending on the compatibility. It is less likely for the human body to reject a graft from other human being rather than another species. Although, xenotransplantation has been practiced in the laboratory by scientists but it has not produced any good results.
