Potassium ions act as if they were nonpenetrating solutes in the intracellular fluid and as sodium, chloride, and ions in the extracellular fluid. they are pumped back out because

<h3>What is the Na+- K+ pump's principal function in preserving the resting membrane potential ?</h3><h3 />

The Na+ K+ -ATPase pump helps living things maintain their osmotic equilibrium and membrane potential. The sodium and potassium withstand concentration gradients. The Na+ K+ -ATPase pump maintains the gradient between a higher concentration of sodium extracellularly and a higher concentration of potassium intracellularly.

  • A change in K+ conductance would have a greater effect on the resting membrane potential than a change in Na+ conductance because the membrane is more permeable to K+.

  • If the extracellular potassium ion concentration decreased, more potassium would leave the cell, causing the electrical gradient across the membrane, or transmembrane potential, to increase. This state is known as hyperpolarization.

Gelneren [198K]

In chromatin, substitution mutations are most common in linker regions. Option d is the correct answer.

Mutation by substitution When one nucleotide base is replaced by another, this occurs. Mismatch mutation A type of substitution mutation in which a single nucleotide is replaced, resulting in the coding of an incorrect amino acid, which usually results in a malfunctioning protein. Silent mutations are the result of genetic code redundancy (degeneracy): This is false, as silent mutations are the result of a base substitution that has no discernible effect on a protein's amino acid sequence.

Ripping up a piece of paper is physical change or chemical change?
eduard
Hello there!

Ripping up a peice of paper is considered physical change.

Physical change means its still the same, it just changed shape.

Chemical change cannot be changed back.

For ex) Burning paper.

Its a chemical change because it cant be undone

hope this helps!
