Answer:

Potassium

Explanation:

Resting membrane potential may be defines as the voltage or charge difference between inside and outside of the cell when the cell is at rest. The resting membrane potential of the cell is -70mV.

Potassium ion channels are leaky channels that are always open and can move into and out of the cell. The potassium ions are responsible for setting of the resting membrane potential of the cell. Inward movement of sodium ions may disrupt the resting membrane potential of the cell.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

•Address the letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
Julli [10]

The answer is; hydrothermal, geothermal, and wind

Hydrothermal, taped from the biggest river on the state contributes approximately 60% of the energy in the state. Geothermal is second,approximately 30% while wind power contributes approximately 10%.


The costs of the electricity in the state are relatively cheap compared with states whose main source of energy is hydrocarbon fuels.   Geothermal power is the cheapest (even though initial investment is prohibitive). Hydrothermal is slightly expensive than geothermal due to the maintenance required and also  is prone to fluctuations of the river regime. Winds are also cheap but initial investment if the wind farm is high.



Hydrothermal energy has the biggest environmental impact compared to the other two. Due to the walls of the dam on the river, migration of some aquatic species is impeded. The reduced flow of water (and sediments) downstream of the dam also impact these ecosystems. Geothermal and wind energy sources have a very minimal environmental impact on the environment .


The state could increase electronics with low power consumption (such as LED lights) in the market for availability to the population. This would be followed by a sensitization campaign on the ideal use of power in the household to conserve power when not in use.
