Answer:

Net membrane potential is equal to the difference of positive charge and negative charge existing at the inner and outer side of the cell respectively. Since outer negative charge is higher in concentration, the net membrane potential is negative

Explanation:

The cell membrane potential defined as the net difference of ion concentration existing at the inner and outer side of a cell membrane at nay instance.  

When the cell is at the resting potential, the positive potassium ion starts accumulating at the inner surface of the cell membrane as it becomes favors positive potassium ion. This leads to development of negative potential at the outer side of cell membrane by the accumulation of negative ions or charges. Hence, a net negative potential membrane develops.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

C. Determine whether the earthworms benefit from being with the plant

Explanation:

To answer the question, first, we need to keep clear the concept of mutualism as an interspecies interaction.

All organisms in nature interact with other organisms in different ways. Symbiotic interactions involve a relationship between two or more organisms of different species in which one or all of them turn to be beneficiated by that relationship. These species create permanent mutual dependence.

Symbiotic interactions include mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.

Mutualism: The interaction is favorable for both species. Their fitness increases with these interactions, although they do not need this relationship to survive. The degree of benefits might vary among species or might be equal.

In the exposed example, the student already knows that the plant got beneficiated by the earthworm's presence. Now, to test mutualism, the student needs to figure out how the earthworms are beneficiated by the plant. What are the benefits of being with the plant?. If the student can not identify any advantage, then probably, the relationship between species is not mutualism but other.
