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).

According to your worldview, what value does a human person have? How does your position affect your stance on controversial bio
nalin [4]

A human life is so valuable that no single price should be placed on it. The effect on this stance on bioethical issues however, is relative.

<h3>Relativity of Human value to Bioethical issues</h3>
  • A person's stance on a bioethical issue can be based on which human life they value more, the person that will gain, or the one that will be affected.
  • With abortion, one might argue that the value of the mother is higher than the baby's because not having to take care of a child will give her a better life.
  • Designer babies might be more valuable because their lower rate of birth defects mean that they are tougher and less expensive to maintain.
  • Stem cell research could save many lives so more value might be placed on these lives than the embryos affected.

In conclusion, a person can see another life as valuable yet have relative views on bioethical issues.

Identify the structures a virus can contain.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The simplest virions consist of two basic components: nucleic acid (single- or double-stranded RNA or DNA) and a protein coat, the capsid, which functions as a shell to protect the viral genome from nucleases and which during infection attaches the virion to specific receptors exposed on the prospective host cell.

How was the knowledge of ecological succession applied to the reclamation of land damaged due to mining?
Mandarinka [93]

After mining, to reclaim the land, the depression is filled with rocks then the top is filled with loosely graded soil. Introduction of early succession plants is important before big trees can grow. The early succession plants help in the breaking down of the rocks into soil hence making the topsoil deeper to support trees.
