Answer:

Potassium ions

Explanation:

Neurons are the cells which are involved in the transmission of the electrical impulse in the organism. The electrical impulse is generated as a result of the movement of ions across the neuron.

The neurons when are at rest still maintains the electric potential at -70 mv. This potential is due to the difference in the ions inside and outside of the neuron. The neurons contain a very high amount of potassium ions inside whereas the sodium outside.

But the potassium ions present inside the neuron continuously leaks from inside through the leak channels (high number compared to sodium channels) causing a slight electronegative charge in the neuron.  Thus, Potassium ions are correct.

What is Laslow's hierarchy?
dybincka [34]
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a system that lists the needs felt by every human being, in order of ease of accomplishment. Our basic survival (physiological) needs (food, water, shelter) are on the bottom. Next up is our safety needs (being able to live without fear of danger), followed by love/belonging needs (the need to have people who you support, and whom support you). After that comes esteem needs (the need to be supportive of your own choices). Finally, at the top of the list is the need for self-actualization. This is the need to feel like your life has significant meaning, and that you have done something for the greater good of humanity. This is a rare need to meet.
Hope that helped! =)

pickupchik [31]
Salinity refers to an increase in the dissolved salt content of a body of water. Salinity has great impacts on the type of organisms that live inside the water. In the question given above, the salinity occurs as a result of non natural influence; since most of the organisms living inside the water before probably have specific optimal salinity range, if the salinity exceed the range they can cope with, they will probably migrate away from the water, those that refuse to migrate will probably die out and new species which can cope with the salinity level will emerge.
