ions?

  • 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.

The overall population of a species has increased. What could have occurred to allow this to happen?
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The correct answer is - The immigration of the population is greater than the emigration.

Explanation:

The growth of the overall population depends on the birth rate, immigration, emigration and death rate. The growth of the population can be calculated by subtracting the number of individuals removed or exited the population from the number of individual come into the population.

Among the given options the best choice is the number of immigration is higher than the number of individual emigrated from the population that means the population growth is increased.
