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.

What soil composition would be best for availability of nutrients, water, and root development? A. equal amounts of sand, clay,
Travka [436]

Soil composition would be best for availability of nutrients, water, and root development higher proportion of humus; lower amounts of clay and sand

Compared to the lower soil layers, the topsoil or surface soil often includes more organic matter and air but less clay. The topsoil typically has the highest concentration of plant roots and is more fertile than the other layers.

  • Nutrient management includes managing the composition of the soil. Minerals, organic material, water, and air are the fundamental elements of soil. Typically, 45% of the soil is made up of minerals. 5% organic material 20–30% water and 20–30% air are used. At best, these percentages are merely generalizations.
  • Numerous nutrients are found in soil, which are obtained from dead plants and animals. The plants eat these nutrients as nourishment. So soil contributes to the growth of plants by giving them sustenance in the form of nutrients.

Answer:

Your nervous system is involved with all aspects of human function.  Circulation, digestion, endocrine and excretory systems are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.  The autonomic nervous function is controlled by your body with out conscious thought.  Imagine having to regulate your heart rate, rate of digestion, liver, and hormones with your mind.  The brain and spinal cord work together to carry out these tasks.

Breathing is another example of your body systems working together.  When you breathe, you think of the respiratory system.  However, think about what the respiratory system does.  It delivers oxygen (nutrients) and removes carbon dioxide (waste).  However, the respiratory system only exchanges these gases through the lungs.  These gases need to travel throughout the entire body.  The circulatory system allows the gases (and blood) to travel everywhere.  The skeletal and muscular systems are also involved because they help push the blood from one end of the body to the other.

the skeletal system and its interaction with the nervous system. For example, the skull protects the brain from injury. The brain also regulates the position of the bones by using the muscular system

A third example is when a pathogen enters the body.  Your immune system is responsible for keeping invaders out.  When you breath in a pathogen, it can sometimes cause you to cough.  Your immune system recognizes the invader and communicates to your body that it is bad.  Then your skeletal and muscular system is responsible for creating the contractions to create the cough.

What is a difference between a waxing crescent and a waning gibbous
slega [8]

Answer:

But what does “waxing and waning gibbous” mean? Rob says crescent is when you can see less than half of the moon illuminated. “Gibbous, you attach that to either waxing or waning when you see more than half of the moon illuminated,” he said. Waxing means it's getting bigger while waning means it's getting smaller.
