Why is the resting membrane potential (Vm) approximately - 70 mV for most cells? Most cells contain a large concentration of Cl-

making them negatively charged. The large concentration of proteins in the interstitial space draws Na+ out of the cell making it negatively charged. Most membranes are 10 times more permeable to Na+ than to K+. Most membranes are 40 times more permeable to K+ than to Na+.

Answer:

Option (4).

Explanation:

Cell membrane potential may be defined as the difference in the electric potential between inside and outside of the cell. This potential is important for the action potential.

The resting membrane potential of the cell is -70mV. This membrane potential is maintained by the potassium ions of the cell. The cell membrane are almost 40 times more permeable to potassium ions than sodium ions and makes the cell membrane potential negative.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).

Before starch can enter a cell, it must be
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Starch are macromolecules that are made of monomers that are simple sugars. Cells are microscopic and they can only absorb small substances. Therefore starch needs to be digested in other words broken down into simpler substances that can be taken in by cells. Therefore before starch can enter a cell it must be 3) digested to form simple sugars

1.-Identify the different ways in which evolution can occur?
Jobisdone [24]
1. These four factors can effect ways evolution occur:

<span>1.) Mutation 
2.) selection
3.) Gene Flow
4.) Genetic Drift 

2.  </span>In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements.

Selection, in biology, the preferential survival and reproduction or preferential elimination of individuals with certain genotypes by means of natural or artificial controlling factors.

In population genetics, gene flow is the transfer of alleles or genes from one population to another.

<span>Genetic drift  is the change in the frequency of a gene variant in a population due to random sampling of organisms. </span>
