OK, well, I'm sorry I love using commas, I'm weird, well, because there is low pressure at high altitudes it tends to be colder on top of a mountain than at sea level....

Ya that's it.
Bye.

Is it something to do with the pressure of the air, higher up it has more air pressure making it cooler? I don’t really know but it’s an educated guess

The probability of a ___________ channel being open is controlled by the membrane potential.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

(b) Voltage gated

Explanation:

The cell membrane acts as a barrier that separates two aqueous media of different composition, the extracellular and the intracellular, regulating its composition. Most of the liposoluble drugs and solutes, when not ionized, directly cross the cell membrane through a passive diffusion process, which facilitates the passage of the medium where it is more concentrated to the one that is more diluted. The difference in concentration between the two media is called the concentration gradient, and diffusion will continue until this gradient is eliminated. According to Fick's law, the speed of this process will be much faster the higher the concentration gradient and the liposolubility of the molecule and the smaller its size.

More hydrophilic molecules, such as ions, are immiscible in membrane lipids and pass through specific specific transport mechanisms. In some cases, ions pass through hydrophilic pores called ion channels, and in others a favor of their concentration gradient is transported by binding to the transporter or transporter proteins. Both transport systems are passive and therefore do not consume energy. The great advantage is that the ion channels allow the flow of ions through a much higher speed than that of any other biological system. The flow of ions through each channel can be measured as an electric current, which is capable of producing rapid changes in membrane potential.

The cholera bacterium produces toxins that cause chloride ions to be secreted into the small
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Osmosis occurs where the movement of water move from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential.

The water potential in blood capillaries need to be higher than the water content in intestinal so that the water will move from blood to intestine which cause diarrhea.

Which types of cells replicate using meiosis?
anastassius [24]
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.
