Answer:
D. By blocking fish migration.
Explanation:
The pictured waterfalls are artificial.
The construction of the wall to raise water level for the falls to be created cuts the contact between marine organisms.
The fish on the other end of the fall cannot freely migrate to the other side.
This is because the falls are too dangerous for them and can lead to their death.
This means that the pictured method of power generation is not environmental friendly.
<h2>Membrane potential </h2>
Explanation:
- Membrane potential represents charge difference across the membrane, all biological cells are negative inside (cytoplasm) and positive outside (due to difference in ionic distribution)
- In a typical neuron cell membrane potential of cytoplasm is negative at rest (when no stimulus is applied) hence called resting membrane potential
- Resting membrane potential of excitable cells is established by Na+ and K+pump
- Repolarization starts with the efflux of K+ by the opening of voltage gated K+ channels
- Voltage gated K+ channels starts to open when voltage gated Na+ channels becomes inactive
- Hyperpolarization occurs due to excessive efflux of K+ by voltage gated K+ channels
- Additional efflux of K+ occurs due to slow inactivation of voltage gated K+ channels
