Which of the following statements about resting potential is true? A resting membrane allows much more sodium than potassium to

diffuse across. The concentration of sodium is much higher inside the cell than outside. The resting potential exists because of differences in glucose concentration inside and outside the cell. The sodium-potassium pump contributes to the resting membrane potential.

Answer:

The sodium-potassium pump contributes to the resting membrane potential.

Explanation:

This is the stage in which the neuron is not depolarize. 3Na+ are pumped outside  through  the sodium  channels, while  K+ channels are open for2 K+ to enter the cells.After some time the Na+ channels closed up. However some K+ channels still leaks , so that K+ still escape out of the cells to the external environment ,which contains more of Na+. Therefore at this stage there are more Na+ outside the neuron compare to the inside the neuron. Therefore the inside of the neuron is negative , because more K+ are leaving the cells, leaving negatively charged anions inside, and the outside is positive  due to more Na+ are outside, and because the K+ leaking outwards.

The regulation of the Na+ and K+ ions movements is regulated by sodium potassium pumps along the membrane of the neuron. if the potential at this stage is measured, it has a value of -70mv, and it is called membrane potential.

A client returned from surgery eight hours ago and has not voided. which action should the nurse take first?
Helga [31]
The first action nurse should take is to evaluate the bladder for distention. in the event the bladder is distended nurse should provide the patient with privacy. i.e nurse can walk with patient to the bathroom. to avoid the urinary tract infection, the process of catheterization should be the last resort after all the other options available have failed.

Answer asap will give brain thing
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

1. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek made the first microscope and used it to look at bacteria and study bacteria, and Robert Hooke studied cells and saw cavities in the cells that looked like small boxes - he discovered plant cells! he recognized cells as the basic unit of life, a basis for Cell Theory.

2. cell theory is: every living organism is made of one or more cells, cells are the smallest units of life ( that have the properties of a living thing), All cells come from other cells  - all living things come from other living things. This relates to every living thing because all living things come under cell theory - like all living things are made of cells

3. prokaryotes, like bacteria, doesn't have a nucleus covered in a membrane. a eukaryotic cell, like an animal cell, has a membrane covered nucleus. just like the nucleus, in eukaryotes the organelles are not membrane bound. in prokaryotes, the organelles are membrane bound. In prokaryotes the DNA form is circular, while the DNA form in eukaryotes is linear. there are more, but i couldn't list them.

4. Example for prokaryote: the famous (or infamous) E. Coli bacterium. example for eukaryote: Humans!

5. Single-celled organisms (unicellular organisms) have all the functions necessary for their survival in the single cell. Multicellular organisms (many celled organisms), however, need many cells to survive and carry out all the functions necessary for their survival and do the different tasks each cell is supposed to do.

I hope this helped, please do correct me if I am wrong!
