Answer:

Passive transport

Explanation:

Active transport uses energy, Passive transport does not.

(I couldn't figure out how to respond to the answer above, which said the answer was Osmosis. I don't think this is true as osmosis involves water, and is much more specific. Passive transport is the correct answer, at least on Edge.)

Answer:

Osmosis

Explanation:

Passive transport does not require energy for movement in and out of a place or across a membrane e.g a cell.

Osmosis uses passive transport to move materials in and out of a cell by setting up concentration gradient through a distance.

Osmosis can be defined as the movement of molecules or particles of a solution from an area of higher concentration to that of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane e.g plasma membrane. As we can see, the difference in concentration is the drive for the transport between the two medium. When the concentration is the same, there won't be any movement again.

What are the charges both inside and outside of the neuron before you click the stimulate neuron button?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The charges inside and outside of the neuron before receiving a stimulus are negative and positive, respectively, which corresponds to the transmembrane rest potential.

Explanation:

Neuron is the specialized cell of the nervous system in charge of transmitting electrical impulses. The generation of a nerve impulse in the form of an electric current is due to a change in the transmembrane potential.

<u>Outside the neuron cell, electrical charges are predominantly positive, and the ion with the highest concentration is sodium. In the intracellular space, a great quantity of proteins provide negative charge, and there is a predominance of potassium ions</u>. Under these conditions, the ionic channels are closed.

For this reason, a neuron at rest, before receiving a stimulus, presents positive charges on the outside and negative charges on the inside, and the membrane potential in this condition is estimated at a value of -65 mV.

Once a stimulus is produced, the ionic channels open and Na+ ions enter the cytoplasm, exchanging them for K+, which implies a change in the membrane potential which, on reaching the threshold, produces an action potential and the nerve impulse is produced.

Why is it beneficial to use textiles made from synthetic fibers
mestny [16]
Synthetic fabrics<span> are </span>textiles made<span> from man-</span>made fibers<span> rather than natural </span>fibers. Chemically produced fabrics<span> are </span>made<span> by joining monomers into polymers, through a process called polymerization. A </span>synthetic fabric<span>, when magnified, looks like plastic spun together.</span><span>

Natural fabrics, such as cotton, silk, and wool, are made from animals or plant based fibers. While synthetic are man made and produced entirely from chemicals to create fabrics. such as polyester, rayon, acrylic, and more. The benefits of using textiles made from synthetic fibers is that it saves the animals and plants that the fibers are based off of. 

Hope this helped :)

What type of organism is likely to live on a dead tree in a dense forest
allsm [11]

The answer is; raccoons and rodents

Racoon will burrow in the soil or tree logs and form a den where they can litter. When threatened, the raccoon can retreat to its hideout or climb a tree. Rodents also scrawl the bottom of the forest finding food. They also love to burrow or hide in crevices of fallen tree trumps or rocks.
