The right answer is water.

A solution is a liquid containing several constituents

* The majority constituent is called solvent. Most often consists of water, the solution is called aqueous solution.

* The substances in solution are called solutes.

* The species in solution are either molecules or ions.

If we add water in the aqueous solution, we will have a dilution. On the contrary, if we add solute or remove water (pure water in solutes) we will have a concentration.

Once a neuron is stimulated and the membrane potential is depolarized, the depolarized axonal membrane is helped to return to it
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cell membrane separates the cell from the outer environment. The extracellular fluid contains the sodium ions (Na+), chloride ions (Cl-), while intracellular fluid contains potassium (K +) and negative anions.

The potential difference arises when the membrane is selectively permeable to some ions. The resting potential is -70mV.  

When the neurons get excited, the sodium ions start to enter by sodium channels.  

Now there are more positive ions inside the cell membrane. It disturbs the resting potential i.e. -70mV. This stage is known as depolarization.

When the inside environment of the cell is more positively charged, the potassium ions start to move out of the cell. It goes out by the voltage-gated channels. Thus resting stage is maintained and it is known as repolarization.

But the initial stability of the cell membrane has to be maintained. To restore the resting stage, the sodium ions start to move out of the membrane and potassium ions enter into the cells again. This is an active transport and has done by the Na+ - K+ pump. Here 3 sodium ions move out and 2  potassium ions pumped into the cell through the plasma membrane.  

Thus the resting potential regains. The potassium ions come back into the cells against the concentration gradient and ATP provides the energy for this phenomena.

Shell-builders use calcium carbonate molecules (CaCO3) to build their shells. Which of the choices above could be a source for t
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, the correct question is;

Shell-builders use calcium carbonate molecules (CaCO3) to build their shells. Which of the following choices could be a source for the carbon atoms in the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) molecules?

respiration by organisms such as plants, animals and microbes

burning coal

calcium ions

car exhaust

wildfires

Answer is all of the above options except calcium ions.

The source for the carbon atoms in the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) molecules include respiration by organisms such as plants, animals and microbes , burning coal , car exhaust  and wildfires.

Explanation:

Shell-builders (coral, oysters, lobsters, sea urchins, phytoplankton) utilize calcium carbonate molecules (CaCO3) to build their shells. The respiration process by organisms such as plants, animals and microbes, burning of fossil fuels, vehicle exhaust, wild fire etc produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and release it into the atmosphere. Oceans absorb carbon dioxide in the air by diffusing and dissolving it into the surface water. The amount of CO2 that dissolved in the water depends on concentrations of CO2, temperature of the water, wind, etc.

Phytoplanktons (microscopic, one-celled organisms) also bring carbon into the ocean from the air through photosynthesis, where they convert the carbon dioxide and water into glucose and other carbon compounds. These carbon compounds are consumed by the marine organisms and some carbon eventually ends up in deep seafloor sediments. The other processes which involved in the transfer of carbon from the air into deep seafloor sediments include photosynthesis , decomposition , waste products, etc.

The CO2 dissolved in the ocean combines with water molecules to produce carbonate (CO3-) ions, which then combine with calcium ions in the seawater to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3). This calcium carbonate is used by shell building organisms to build their shells, plates, inner skeletons etc.
