It is important for asexual cellular reproduction so that an organism can heal a wound, grow larger systems such as organs, and replace sick or dead cells.

Mitosis is important for a number of reasons. It's a form of reproduction for some organisms that reproduce asexually, it's needed for growth and development, and also for the repair and replacement of cells. If we didn't do mitosis dead cells wouldn't be replaced, and that would cause some massive problems. For example, if we weren't capable of doing mitosis and you cut your hand, the cut wouldn't heal up because the cells wouldn't be getting replaced.

Ions are unequally distributed across the plasma membrane of all cells. This ion distribution creates an electrical potential di
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The correct answer would be a.Resting membrane potential (RMP).

Resting membrane potential (RMP) refers to the potential difference found across the cell membrane of cell at rest.

It is created due to the unequal distribution of ions (such as Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻, Ca⁺⁺ etc) across the plasma membrane. It depends on the concentration gradient of ions across the plasma membrane as well as on its permeability for each type of ion.

The value of RMP may vary with the type of cell for example, RMP for neuron is around -70 mV, for skeletal muscle it is around - 90 mV etc. Negative value suggests that there is an excess of negative charge inside the cell as compared to the outside of the cell.
