1 300 mg 85%
2 300 mg 45%
3 300 mg 25%
4 300 mg 5%
5 0 mg 10%
6 0 mg 20%

Changes in membrane potential serve as signals to cells within the body – and can often be a drug target in the treatment of man
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

    The membrane is actually semi-permeable.

Explanation:

    The membrane being semi-permeable means that, not all the things come in and out of the cell, only if it's really needed. The cell works in a gradient way, and that means that, to balance things, the cell will put in it a substance in a very high concentration outside of it, just to balance things. And this would happen to potassium, the cell would put it inside to balance this gradient, and once all sides have the same amount of potassium, it will stop, and the gradient is finally equal.

The second generation phenotypes resulting from the cross of purebred monohybrid pollination will display a ratio of _____. 2:2
Art [367]
The answer is 3:1.

If we imagine that plant has two alleles for the trait, we can dominant allele represent with P represents and recessive allele with p. To get purebred monohybrid in the first generation, parents must be a dominant homozygote (PP) and a recessive hetero<span>zygote (pp):

Parental generation: PP   x   pp
The first generation: Pp  Pp  Pp  Pp

Pp represents a heterozygote.
If we cross these heterozygotes:

The first generation: Pp   x   Pp
The second generation: PP  Pp  Pp  pp

If dominant allele determines the phenotype, there will be 3 plants (one PP and two Pp) with one phenotype and only 1 plant </span><span>(pp)</span> with another phenotype and vice versa.
