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.

Which of the following does NOT accurately state a transfer of carbon in the carbon cycle?
Doss [256]

Answer:

The point that does NOT accurately indicate a carbon transfer in the carbon cycle is that burning of wood and debris pulls carbon from the atmosphere to use as energy.

Explanation:

The carbon cycle involves the journey that carbon makes between living organisms and their surrounding environment, i.e. the entire biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, and is therefore considered a biogeochemical cycle.

In living organisms, inorganic carbon is taken up by plants to make organic molecules, which will be used by animals - which release CO₂ into the atmosphere - or dead organic matter provides carbon to the soil.

The combustion of wood and debris involves the oxidation of a combustible material -which requires oxygen from atmosphere- to then release CO₂ as a product. So it is incorrect to say that burning of wood and debris pulls carbon from the atmosphere to use as energy.

How might the surface area to volume ratio affect the ability of a cell to take in and use nutrients from its environment?
svetoff [14.1K]
The smaller the surface area to volume ratio,  The larger the Cell will become.
And the larger the cell, The ability to take in and use nutrients from its environment tend to be Decreased.
This happens because the large cells wouldn't have enough material fast enough to accommodate/fulfill its large volume.
