The correct answer for this question is ion concentration gradient.

The membrane potential at which an ionic species is at equilibrium, that is, when there is no net movement of the ion across the membrane, is known as the Nernst potential for that specific ionic species. The equilibrium potential (Ve-.) for an ion is hence the Nernst potential for that ion.

Na+ and K+ have equilibrium potentials of +60 mV and -88 mV, respectively, in mammalian neurons. The Nernst equation, where R = gas constant, can be used to determine the reversal potential for a given ion.

The membrane potential that precisely balances the concentration gradient of an ion across the membrane is known as equilibrium potential.

IgorC [24]
I think if the whale population decreased the surface fish populations would decline due to reduced populations of algae. This can be simply explained by the fact that, if the whale population is decreased, it means that the nitrogen rich feces that is supply nutrients to the algae would also decrease and therefore decrease the population of the algae and as a result the population of  of the surface fish  would also decline.

What is plant respiration in simple terms? (Cellular respiration)
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Cellular respiration is the process of breaking sugar down into a form that the cell can utilize as energy.

Explanation:

This happens in all types of life. Cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to produce ATP, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. Typically, this process uses oxygen and is known as aerobic respiration.
