There is a special mechanism which serves for the transport of the glucose molecule through the membrane and it is called facilitated diffusion. <span>This type of diffusion is also the passive movement (does not require ATP energy) across the cell membrane but it includes the aid of a transmembrane integral protein. Glucose transporter has a specific binding site for glucose and it helps the glucose uptake.</span>

During the course of an action potential, the membrane potential rapidly rises and reaches a peak of about +40 mV before falling
ad-work [718]

Answer:

A)  A decrease in Na+ permeability, and an increase in K+ permeability.

Explanation:

When the potential action reaches a peak of about +40 mv Na+ channels are open and a high number of Na+ ions are entering the inside of the cell. Shortly after this happens the K+ channels will start to open their gates increasing the cell  K+ permeability  while the Na+ channels will start to close their gates, so the Na+ permeability will decrease. This happens  in order to valance the positive charge on the inside of the cell. Normally the inside has a negative charge while the outside has a positive one, as the inside is more positive due to the increase in Na+ permeability at the beginning of the potential action, K+ cations (which are in abundance in the cell) will have to go out through the K+ channels  so as to restore the charge valance, that means that there is an increase in K+ permeability.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Blood smears usually refers to the blood test that is being conducted in order to determine if there is any abnormality or irregularity in the blood cells. This test is conducted in the laboratories by using the slides.

After the test is done, these slides of blood smears are usually disposed of according to the instruction given by the teachers. It is because these slides have sharp edges and must be carefully handled. It can cause cut in the fingers and as these slides are comprised of infectious substances, it can affect other individuals, causing various types of diseases.

Thus, they must not be disposed of here and there, rather they should be disposed of according to the teacher's instruction.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
