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

The potential inside the cell is − 70.5 mV and the potential outside the cell is zero. What is the change in the electrical potential energy of a single potassium ion as it moves across the membrane?

Answer:

8.18 × 10 ⁻²¹.

Explanation:

The potential energy may be defined as the energy stored in the rest objects. This energy is important for the maintenance of the concentration gradient in the cell.

The change in the potential energy can be calculated as follows:

W = v2-v1 × q.

Here, the charge of the proton is considered because k+ ions has been used.

W= 0 - ( - 70. 5 mV) × 1.602 * 10^-19 C.

W= 8.18 × 10 ⁻²¹J.

Thus, the answer is 8.18 × 10 ⁻²¹.

<span>The effect of insecticides will result in prolonged muscle contraction.</span>   <span>Acetylcholinesterases are the enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of acetylcholine (Ach) in the synaptic cleft. This normally occurs, after the Ach achieves its effects on its receptors. On the other hand, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors inhibits the acetylcholinesterase enzyme thereby increasing the level and duration of action of the neurotransmitter ACh. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are used as insecticides.</span>

choli [55]

Answer:

c. mitochondrion, virus, hemoglobin, glucose, water molecule

Explanation:

The mitochondrion is a membrane which is found in cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is also known as power house of cells. This is largest from virus, hemoglobin, water molecule and glucose.

Virus is second largest and is small infectious agent. It has capability to infect many organisms and living cells. Hemoglobin is protein which is present in red blood cells. Glucose is a type of sugar presence in the blood. Water molecule is composed of hydrogen and oxygen and is smallest among the others.

What is the evolution of sex?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: Sex evolved as an extremely efficient mechanism for producing variation, and this had the major advantage of enabling organisms to adapt to changing environments. Sex did, however, come with a cost. In reproducing asexually, no time nor energy needs to be expended in choosing a mate.
