Explain how the resting potential is created and maintained. (sodium potassium pump) What happens when sodium comes in and potas
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The resting membrane potential is created and maintained due to the difference in the total charge or ions present outside and inside of the cell. The resting membrane potential depolarize if sodium come in and and potassium leaves the cell.

Explanation:

The resting membrane is maintained and created by the distribution of potassium and sodium ions. The membrane potential of a resting cell is -70mV (negative) because more sodium ions is present outside the cell than the potassium ions present inside the cell.

When the sodium ions enter inside the cell and potassium ions move outside the cell, the inside of the cell becomes more positive as compared to the outside and the membrane potential changes from -70 mV to +30 mV. The cells will depolarize due to the accumulation of sodium ions inside the cell.

Answer:

option c punctuated equilibrium

Explanation:

Punctuated equilibrium occurs in a process whereby evolutionary changes occurs in some organisms in a rapid burst of time rather the conceived gradual changes that occurs over a long period of time. this burst of time might be in about 500,000 years. It is assumed that the organism has maintained/lives in stasis for a long period without a need for change, but then, once the change takes place (most of the time, due to an environmental factor), the organism quickly adapts to its new environment with this new adaptation.
