<h2>Membrane potential </h2>
Explanation:
- Membrane potential represents charge difference across the membrane, all biological cells are negative inside (cytoplasm) and positive outside (due to difference in ionic distribution)
- In a typical neuron cell membrane potential of cytoplasm is negative at rest (when no stimulus is applied) hence called resting membrane potential
- Resting membrane potential of excitable cells is established by Na+ and K+pump
- Repolarization starts with the efflux of K+ by the opening of voltage gated K+ channels
- Voltage gated K+ channels starts to open when voltage gated Na+ channels becomes inactive
- Hyperpolarization occurs due to excessive efflux of K+ by voltage gated K+ channels
- Additional efflux of K+ occurs due to slow inactivation of voltage gated K+ channels
The term is Facilitated diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion is a transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell's energy, and because it does not use the cell's energy, it is a passive transport.
The energy is provided by the concentration gradient, which means that molecules are transported from higher to lower concentrations, into or out of the cell.
The carrier proteins of the GLUT family are responsible for transporting glucose. They bind to glucose , which causes them to change shape to fit in the membrane passage then they translocate the glucose molecule from one side of the membrane to the other.
Red blood cells use facilitated diffusion to absorb glucose.
I would say C) is warmer than the north and south poles
