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).

kow [346]

Quasar is a star like object that is very bright and distant.

Quasars are massive, bright, and most distant known celestial objects that release high amounts of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which usually has a star-like image in a telescope. Quasars can only be found in galaxies that have super-massive black holes (black holes that have billions of times of solar masses). In quasars, the black holes are enclosed by a gaseous accretion disk.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: Organism in this domain can be defined as living things that has an organized structure, and responds to stimuli, and has ability to reproduce, grow, and maintain a state of equilibrium. Organisms are of two types which are unicellular and multi cellular organisms.

Explanation: unicellular organisms are organisms that are made up of only one cell which carries out all the functions needed by the oragnism. Multicellular organisms are organisms that are made up of more than one cell. These organisms uses many different cells to function.

Unicellular organisms are often found in extreme environments such as hot springs, polar ice and frozen tundra.

Unicellular organisms have cell that contain a nucleus.
