Under certain circumstances, potassium ions (K+) in a cell will move across the cell membrane from the inside to the outside. Th

e potential inside the cell is − 85.5 mV and the potential outside the cell is zero. a. What is the change in the electrical potential energy of a single potassium ion as it moves across the membrane?b. Does the potential energy of the potassium ions increase, decrease, or remain the same as the ions move from the inside to the outside?

Answer:

1.368\times 10^{-20}\ J

Explanation:

q = Charge in the potassium ion = 19e-18e

e = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

V_2-V_1 = Change in potential = 0-(-85.5\times 10^{-3})

Change in electric potential is given by

E=q(V_2-V_1)\\\Rightarrow E=(19e-18e)(0-(-85.5\times 10^{-3})\\\Rightarrow E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 85.5\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow E=1.368\times 10^{-20}\ J

The energy is 1.368\times 10^{-20}\ J

What kind of light would be the best to use to look inside a cold dark cloud and see the warm stars forming inside?
lys-0071 [83]
<h2>Answer: Infrared light</h2>

A dark nebula is a cloud of dust and cold gas, which does not emit visible light and hides the stars it contains.

These types of nebulae are composed mainly of the hydrogen they obtain from nearby stars, which is their fuel.

It is using infrared light that we can "observe" and analyze in detail what happens in the inner parts of these nebulae.

Help with Order of Magnitude question?
solong [7]
The rotation of Earth is equivalent to one day which is comprised of 24 hours. To determine the number of miles in Earth's circumference, one simply have to multiply the given rate by the appropriate conversion factor and dimensional analysis. This is shown below.
 
                  C = (1038 mi/h)(24 h/1 day)
                   C = 24,912 miles

From the given choices, the nearest value would have to be 20,000 mile. The answer is the second choice.
