When the membrane is at the potassium equilibrium potential, in which direction (in or out) is there a net movement of potassium

ions?
Biology

stellarik [79]1 year ago

  • The balance between the chemical and electrical forces pushing potassium through potassium channels and across the membrane is represented by the potassium equilibrium potential.
  • At the equilibrium potential of potassium, which is -80mV, there is no net movement of potassium ions.

<h3>At potassium's equilibrium potential, what happens?</h3>
  • At equilibrium, the electrical potential gradient across the membrane precisely balances the gradient of K+ concentration.
  • There is no net migration of K+ from one side to the other, despite the fact that K+ ions continue to traverse the membrane via channels.

<h3>How does potassium diffuse in order to influence the membrane potential?</h3>
  • Potassium ions will flow down their concentration gradient, or towards the exterior of the cell, because the membrane is permeable to them.
  • Although the membrane is not permeable to sodium, there is a concentration gradient that favors sodium diffusion in the opposite direction.

Food-service equipment should be carefully cleaned and sanitized, in order to prevent foodborne illnesses. Cleaning is the process of removing traces of food from surfaces while sanitizing is the process of removing microorganisms from surfaces. In general, food-contact equipment should be cleaned and sanitized after each use of the equipment. However, when the food-contact equipment is in constant use, it should be cleaned and sanitized every four hours.

An atom of element A has 27 protons. What would the element's atomic number be?
erastova [34]

Answer:

27

Explanation:

The number of protons in atom is the atomic number. For a neutral atom that has not lost or gained any electron, it is the same as the number of electrons.

The atomic number is used in perfect ordering of the periodic table and it is the basis of the periodic law.

Protons are positively charged subatomic particles that reside in the in the nucleus of an atom with the neutrons.
