Biology
1 answer:
7nadin3 [17]3 years ago
7 0

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.

B. From the lemonade to the glass.

C. From the lemonade to the ice cube.

D. From the ice cube to the lemonade.

Answer:  Option C

Explanation:

The main principle of heat transfer is that heat always flows from the hotter body to the colder body.

Here, the hotter body is thermos in which the lemonade was kept and the colder body is cooler in which the ice was kept.

During the mixing of lemonade into ice, the heat will from the hotter body to the colder body which means from lemonade to the ice. This process of heat transfer is unidirectional( hot body to cold body).

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

What is the name of the cell that activates CD4 and CD8 cells?
julsineya [31]

Hey there! Let's solve the problem:

CD4 T cells activate CD8 T cells through an underhanded cycle including an antigen presenting cell (APC), customarily a standard dendritic cell (DC). An APC presents a peptide to a true CD4 T cell through a Class II MHC molecule.
