A change in membrane permeability or ion concentration will change the resting membrane potential.

Biology
2 answers:
Fudgin [204]3 years ago

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Resting membrane potential is dependent on the following two factors –  

a) Concentration of ions –  When a neuron is in a resting position, sodium and potassium gradients develop. When an ion moves because of this gradient , resting potential is created. Any change in the ion concentration will change the concentration gradient which eventually will change the resting membrane potential.  

b) Membrane permeability – The membrane is more permeable to the potassium ion as compared to the sodium ion, thus the resting membrane potential is more inclined towards the equilibrium potential of potassium .

It is true <span>that a change in membrane permeability or ion concentration will change the resting membrane potential. A resting neuron has a voltage across its membrane called the resting membrane potential. The resting potential is determined by the concentration gradient of ions across the membrane and by membrane permeability to each type of ion. In aresting neuron, there are concentrations gradients across the membrane for Na+ and K+. Ions move down their gradients via channels, leading to a separation of charge that ceates the resting potential.</span>

Select the statements that accurately describe endocytosis. The cell membrane pinches off to form an extracellular vesicle joine
noname [10]

Answer: The cell membrane invaginates and pinches off, creating a vesicle within the cell.

Explanation:

Endocytosis is an active transport mechanism, for particules to be transported, the plasma membrane of the cell invaginates, forming a pocket around the target particle. The pocket then pinches off, resulting in the particle being contained in a newly created intracellular vesicle formed from the plasma membrane.

The diagram compares diffusion of sugar molecules and osmosis. Explain the difference between osmosis and diffusion in cells
stira [4]

Answer:

What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion? Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through the cell. Diffusion is the movement of molecules, such as oxygen, in and out of a cell. The process by which water molecules are able to diffuse through the cell membrane.
